A 1000$ Partnership per month with Ruttl ๐Ÿค

Hey indiehackers!

Hope everyone in the community is safe and sound! ๐Ÿ™Œ

Lately, I have been trying to maximize my product's reach in order to boost user acquisition rate. After few attempts of striking discussions with potential prospects, I have come across few online listing platforms who are offering me 400 clicks per month for a quarterly payment of USD$ 3600.

I've done the math and here are my estimated monthly calculations:

  • Total Signups : 0.2 * Clicks = 80 signups
  • Paying Customer : 0.05 * Signups = 4 Paying customers
  • Revenue per month: USD$ 7 * 4 = USD$ 28

In order to reach a monthly breakeven, I need to run the promotions for at least 40 months, which is completely absurd.

So here is what I think could be a possibility:
I might be sounding a bit demanding here but I would love to pay USD$ 1000 per month on a retainer model if I can get at least 400 signups per month.

If someone in the community can help me achieve this target, please comment below and help me out. I'd be happy to talk further and see if we can do a long-term business together! โœจ

Thanks!
Harsh ๐Ÿ’ฏ

    All clicks are not created equal. I've never heard of any instance where someone bought clicks and got the right quality of traffic they intended on

    1. 1

      That's true. The right quality traffic is super important. However, I have got these numbers from niche websites around ruttl (who have the exact audience that I am trying to seek which probably explains the high-prices)

  2. 1

    That would be a waste of money if the traffic you are getting doesn't have commercial intent.
    Such offers are plenty where they commit traffic for a certain amount of dollars.

    I would rather focus on understanding the pain points of signups and do the research for relevant keywords your clients are using.
    Then create a landing page including what's best happening on Google's 1st page.

    Creates free SEO traffic after min 3 months but highly sustainable growth.

      Yes I have been trying to focus on SEO @balajiingole77. Do you know any expert SEO consultant or recognized SEO agency who can help me with ruttl?

      1. 1

        @harshvijay Hi, are you still looking for SEO agency?

  3. 1

    You need clicks and eyeballs strictly from sites that provide services and information to webdevs more than anyone. I would be haunting their communities and FB groups. You should also reach out to bloggers in the webdev arena to get your product tested, reviewed and included in their downloadable guides like "web dev tools for 2021" and that sort of thing. Anyone blogging in the space needs content ideas so you can do an interview with them or whatever, you could aqlso sponsor their emails with pricing based on reach and open rates. What is the source of the clicks you were offered? I would do email outreach to agencies as well. Your breakeven appears to be based on the lowes tier of pricing as a worst case scenario but the next step up is more than triple the first pay level so your payback may be more like 20 months (still not good however).

      @unemployability I've been trying to reach out to influencers and bloggers but haven't had much success. Can you advice me on how I should outreach these target people to do what you suggested above?

      1. 1

        try first asking to repost one of their posts on your blog or giving them a backlink in a post you write to one of their articles. Then send them a note saying you did that ....and oh by the way... could they look at your SaaS or whatever and consider reviewing it or adding it to one of their annual reviews.. This gives them something up front that is valuable to them so they will be more inclined to consider you.

    Am I right that you would have payed 3.600 per 400 clicks and are offering to pay 1.000 per 400 sign-up (2k clicky with your calculation). Or do you have a typo? Just for clarification ๐Ÿ™‚

    1. 1

      I didn't get you what you meant by 2k clicky @dennis_zoma? Can you explain that particular part of the sentence?

    Just looking at your website, what's the difference between collaborators and members?

    1. 1

      So team members are basically people on your team who can simultaneously work on the projects and use functions like edit, comment, preview.

      Collaborators, on the other hand, are people like clients. Most likely, you will be collecting feedback from them. So collaborators can use the guest commenting function only (without having to create an account and login) to work on the projects.

      1. 1

        Ok, and what are editors?

        Could you simplify this, perhaps starting in terms of language.
