Day 13 of 30 days marketing challenge

-> https://t.co/p0PvsYbO3x

#23/144 on @Peerlist ! All the marketing is around that launch but still:

- Fixed the nav links with anchors (because of params in the url when coming from directories, didn't even notice this whole week... Thanks @tomas_boda)
- More DMs, giving feedback to others too
- Few Reddit comments

@picoito Thanks a lot 💪🏻

[Vincent @VynseDev]

LET'S FUCKING GOOOOO 🎉🎉

first sale since the v2 with the new pricing

I needed this to happen to be honest, but wasn't expecting it as I still have low volume. great validation 🙏🏻

[Vincent @VynseDev]

V2 APPROVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

sometimes all it takes is to complain a bit 😎🇫🇷

lfg 💪🏼

Launch + hard paywall = 🏆

removed my free plan the night before being live on PH

→ 6 sales in 2 days

I almost made that usual mistake of thinking "more free users = more virality"

maybe if you've got a huge audience

or you just get stuck at $0 with no real validation

Remove your free plan.

Free users are leeches. They increase support, server costs, and make you build features your paying customers don’t want.

Less than 3% of free users ever convert.

VC startups can afford free plans because they’re optimizing for growth, not profit.

If you’re an indie founder, never give away your product for free.

[Vincent @VynseDev]

@athcanft What the app themselves, like post paywall? 😂 Features etc, do you just not care about churn?

[Vincent @VynseDev]

@siddharthkp @thekitze Same with 500 lol

[Vincent @VynseDev]

@Szut It changed last year for personal accounts I think... 😵

[Vincent @VynseDev]

FOR FUCK SAKE 😤😤😤

someone must have opted-out or uninstalled the app or something

now I need to start again from scratch

I HATE this closed testing bullshit

[Vincent @VynseDev]

🚨 need 6 Android testers to help me ship the app to the Play Store

reply if interested (or DM your mail and I add you directly)

[Vincent @VynseDev]

@jackfriks @postbridge_ @lovelee_app How can you hard paywall on a couple app anyway, as it involves 2 people who have to be paired

and highly likely to need one of them to "experience" the app first?

[Vincent @VynseDev]

@Szut What type of account did you create? I went for personal account that's why....

It's started with 12 testers atm, I'll let you know if someone leaves again lol, thanks!

[Vincent @VynseDev]

Yeah I think you should ; no problem with a free trial but the shorter it is the better for you (quicker feedback loop, users are more engaged etc)

For PH launch you could add a lifetime deal, with the launch hype some people just want to buy instantly without bothering with subscriptions

[Vincent @VynseDev]

1 month free trial sounds crazy long for such a "simple" tool. I guess 7 days or even 3 days would be enough for a user to test and feel the value

But hard paywall directly could convert the same, if even more. Only reason why someone would want to try it first is if they're not sure it'd work on their stream, with their device/type of watch etc

if you answer that already on the landing page and prove it, hard paywall would just be better

I see it kind of as SuperShrimp by @marclou

[Vincent @VynseDev]

@adriamatz Hahaha yeah Claude worried about AI generated stuff...

[Vincent @VynseDev]

@offpaths feels like every platform tends towards doing everything lol

so is that encouraging reacting to stuff instead of creating stuff?

hope the feed doesn't become just people reacting to memes in videos lol

[Vincent @VynseDev]

@zlunier feels great man, it's still not frequent enough but it's a step!!!

[Vincent @VynseDev]

@iPritamX wtf 🤔

do you have a hidden lifetime or a discount that pops up when user closes paywall or something?

[Vincent @VynseDev]

@meet244 Thanks 🙏🏻

[Vincent @VynseDev]

@adriamatz damn yes, especially for a freemium app, it's hard to find the right balance with the free limits
