57 people have joined the waiting list - how?

It’s been an exciting journey launching my first tech product.

Earlier this month, I said I was targeting 50 email subscribers (started on 20) to join our waiting list, and I wasn’t expecting to hit that goal. We hit 57. 🎈

To get there, I’ve been focusing most of my efforts on listening to what my users want and building a robust product.

As users have seen the results they’ve been getting from askInput, I’ve shared those results on social and that’s been helping us to spread the word.

Slowly but surely, our subscriber number has been increasing. ☺️

I also ran a Twitter ad for a few days and got 8-12 new subscribers 📈. That cost me around $100, so won't be repeating it again. 😢

Right now, askInput is free but every new ask costs. So I need to transition to a paid model over the next few months to grow sustainably.

My plan for April?

1. Apply and test usability enhancements and features
2. Launch askInput to our waiting list
3. Gather feedback and improve
4. Drive 100 email subscribers and sign-ups 🤞

Let's see what this journey brings! 🚀
