200 waitlist signups
We've got 200 signups on the mail-train.com launch waiting list!
It's been a combination of networking, Product Hunt's Ship, and being active on social media and forums like this one.
Ideally, we would want 1000 subscribers before we launch – but it's a step on the way. Celebrate the small wins!
Only 1-3% of my collected emails converted into paying users. Will be happy if it goes differently for you.
Congratulations on your win!
Did you pay to upgrade your Product Hunt Ship or did you stay on the free tier?
Also, what % of the 200 came from PH?
Yes, I did pay for it for a few months. Didn't think it was worth it. Perhaps 15%-20% percent from PH.
Hey, great work. Pulling it together before launch is very impressive!
Congrats Finn! How long did it take to get those 200?
About 6 months, so slow and steady…
Gotcha! What are your plans to get the next 200?
Launching a new landing page, doing direct outreach, look for communities and blogs that I could contact and/or sponsor.
That's a good plan!
IMO, I'd wait to sponsor though and instead choose 3 channels and stick with them. Sponsorships are more of a marketing level 3 or 4 activity.
Let me know when the landing page is up, happy to give feedback or help with copy.
