Bonai going live by tomorrow! For solo founders who want to be found.
I'm finishing the final touches on Bonai before it goes live and I'm super excited. Finally got the content generation to a really solid level, backed with real credible sources for the long form SEO/AEO articles, optimized structure, etc. The pieces like automated email notifications for "your weekly AI audit and content package are ready", Lemon squeezy checkout for the paid tier, and checking all the niche directory listings to make sure the directory is actually still live and accepting submissions, all this took much longer than I expected but I'm really happy with the MVP as it's shaping up.
Would love first users from here, I think it can really help solo founders establish a solid and steady path to organic growth without needing to constantly live on X and reddit.
I'll post tomorrow after the link is live!
Congrats on the launch! The "without needing to constantly live on X and Reddit" angle resonates — that's exactly the trap most solo founders fall into.
Curious about the LemonSqueezy integration — did you run into any issues with payouts as a non-US founder? I've been going through payment processor hell lately (Paddle rejected, Dodo Payments KYC issues) building Pronto, and LemonSqueezy keeps coming up as an option but I'm based in Georgia (the country) and bank payouts seem limited. Looking forward to the launch post tomorrow.
Hi Konstantin, yes I actually did run into this issue, also got rejected from paddle (rude!) and finally got lemon squeezy to work. I am based in Israel, but American also, so I thought it would be super easy to get the payment system set up...turns out I was wrong lol
after I got approved lemon squeezy was surprisingly painless, product listing/webhooks/api all was pretty straightforward. I have mine routed to payout in Paypal because it was easier for me, but they have the option for non US banks also (ah now I remember that was my issue, I wanted the payout to go to my US bank account for business, but I don't have a US mailing address, so they didn't allow it...ugh) Hope you can get yours worked out soon! Good luck :) If you want to try out Bonai I would love feedback, making the link live by tomorrow. I hope actually later today, but my toddler just fell asleep now and I'm sitting down to do the finishing touches pretty late at night. Excited about launch though!
That's really helpful, thank you! Paddle rejection was surprisingly abrupt — just a form letter with no specific reason. Good to know LemonSqueezy worked for you via PayPal — that might actually be my path too since PayPal is available in Georgia.
I'll try that route next. Good luck with the toddler and the launch! 🙂 Drop the link here when Bonai goes live — happy to be one of your first users and give real feedback.
thank you! I will send along the link tomorrow :)
Looking forward to checking it out when it comes out. I am curious.
