A stranger said my landing page sucked, and then he agreed that I made it better 🚀 + Handling Shame and Sell Marketing.

Hey all!

I first shared my landing page here on Indiehackers, then on a couple of subreddits including r/Startups, r/Startup, r/Growmybusiness. I then went on to several slack groups like DemandCurve.

The first set of comments were from slack - they were detailed and nice. It pointed out the typos, the broken nav bar, and a couple of cookie issues. (all fixed now)

However, after a couple of hours, I received some feedback with contempt. I later got to know a few people who were shaming me in public were also trying to sell a marketing product to me in my DMs. [the message on the right of screenshot]. I also noted that these accounts had very little karma.

I got confused a bit on which feedback was real and which was fake, because somewhere actually trying to give me constructive criticism while some were trying to just shame and sell me their product.

Yet, I stayed nuanced and changed pretty much everything on the landing page.

I was happy to say that the genuine people who said it sucked, agreed the new version was much better! [screenshot on the left of the image] While the ones who tried to just shame and sell, stopped replying.

Also please note that the images collaged together are not interrelated, it's because of Indiehacker's one-image-per-post restriction.

I have also blurred out the names of all the people involved.
