AppSumo and similar bundling services

Hi,

I had a statsglitch.com deal about six months ago on AppSumo.
As basically any other guide mentions, it's incredible for the growth and feedback perspective. Gained lots of power users who helped to push the product into the right direction. But it's not very easy to be selected into there as the product should be mature-enough and might require lots of effort in terms of customer support.

The obvious elephant in the room is the revenue share. While providing a lot, they're taking a lot too, so you have to calculate carefully whenever it makes sense in the long run, as the deals usually lifetime.

Here's an excellent summary on IH, although the amount of sales varies a lot, so take it with a grain of salt: https://www.indiehackers.com/article/50e7a521bb

We did a lifetime deal on sifterydeals, It brought us our early users. They really helped us with lots of feedback on the product.
