    I think you might be able to set up Cloudflare to just act as DDoS protection without having to change any of your tech-stack, just some slight DNS configurations. You have to configure your domain to use Cloudflare, then possibly add some CNAME DNS records to Cloduflare to be able to proxy requests to Cloudfront through Cloudflare (I haven't personally tried this Cloudfront proxying part though)

      @GrahamBillington 14 วันที่ผ่านมา +3

      This is true we do this where I work. We host everything on AWS but all our requests go through cloudflare first and then are sent over to our AWS servers. I think it was just a simple CNAME like you said, really easy

      For me it was the best place to start. So try first in your circle, work, friends, fam etc. and then take it from there. I recently started advertising on FB, but it seems like those people are not serious. I advertise on google from now on and keep relying on word of mouth. Also, having portfolio helps.

    Super video Marc! As a solopreneur mysel , I’m very inspired by your work but I can’t help but see the strong correlation between your social channels (Twitter / YT) you built and your financial and business success, which makes it very hard to relate to. You built your personal brand for years around the idea of shipping fast and built up a following on Twitter of solopreneurs who want to ship fast, so it makes sense that Ship Fast would be your top bread winner, which has really been years in the making building up an audience ready to get it off the ground. But for those of us who don’t want to build up a social persona and stay private, how do you suggest we market the products we launch?
    Not to take anything away from your success, but trying to find a way to learn from your experience while staying off social media mostly, thanks!
