March 50 Challenge is a unique opportunity for individuals to engage in a networking challenge during the second half of March. The goal of this challenge is to reach out to 50 people and publicly share each outreach with others.
Participants are encouraged to connect with individuals through various means such as email, LinkedIn, or other messaging platforms. The purpose of these cold outreaches is to expand networks, promote products or services, or gather market research.
One interesting aspect of the challenge is the requirement to publicly share each outreach on SellInPublic.com. To ensure privacy, participants are advised to redact any sensitive information before posting. This platform serves as a community for developers, builders, founders, and entrepreneurs to share their insights and experiences in sales, marketing, and related topics.
While there are other communities available, such as X/Twitter, IndieHackers, Reddit, and HackerNews, each has its limitations. X/Twitter, for example, has a helpful and welcoming community, but its algorithm can make it challenging to participate without a large audience or regular posting. IndieHackers offers valuable content but lacks active forums. Reddit communities have their own rules and moderation challenges, while HackerNews tends to prioritize technology discussions over sales and marketing topics.
The SellInPublic.com platform aims to address these limitations by providing an open and inclusive space for developers to learn and share sales and marketing strategies. It welcomes participants of all levels, allowing them to freely engage in discussions and gain practical examples of successful sales approaches.
To join the March 50 Challenge and have their progress tracked, participants need to register on SellInPublic.com and create an introduction post. This post should mention their intention to take part in the challenge and can include details about their promotional activities or goals. A leaderboard on MetricRiv will track participants’ progress, with daily updates on public posts shared. The final leaderboard update will be on April 2nd.
