Crickets after launching the first premium feature
I had a goal over last couple of weeks, launch subscriptions and the first premium plan feature for my otherwise freemium extension: watchlimits.com.
And I did it!
My feature became available in the chrome store on Tuesday, but no one is using. No one is buying premium.
But it's also not surprising.
I haven't done much marketing about the feature when I just finished it, because the chrome store review was taking forever and well. Then I got busy with my full time job.
Building the awareness about the product and compelling people to buy something that is so new is hard. Not getting adoption is sad, but instead of being sad, I should just buckle up.
So here we go, I need to double up on marketing, sales and awareness for my product! Even though I'm already thinking about another feature to build...
I am not a Chrome user but I installed the extension out of curiosity. I managed to find the premium feature but it is a bit hidden. You have to go into settings and even then it is all the way down. I would suggest you make it more visible to users, so it is easier to find. Maybe you could also change the design a bit to make it stand out on the Settings page and make it clear that this is special setting compared to the rest.
Also, given that it requires the user to be logged in, have you thought of using the user's email list to do a bit of marketing to them and tell them about the feature?
BTW, the landing and the design of the extension look really good 👌 and I wish something I knew about an extension like this but for Safari
Thank you! And great feedback, I really appreciate it!
Yup there is definitely space for improvement for telling customers about the premium feature and in general educating users about available features. The onboarding flow is pretty much non-existent for now, but it's on my list of things to do :).
I don't have any Mac Devices myself so porting to safari is not on my agenda for now, but maybe at some point :).

Great fit with your Netlifx calculator!
Just installed your extension! I know you will get a lot of premium users, just keep going!
Tell me what you think!
I've got watch limits installed, but knew nothing of a premium feature :)
What is the feature? I want to know!
Here you go: https://watchlimits.com/blog/posts/allowed_channels/ - you can add channels that you can watch without limits (e.g. educational content!)
Btw, if you want to try it out I have a discount code that is valid to be used until the end of this month: WATCHLIMITS50
And feel free to reach out with any comments, problems or suggestions! Thank you!

I'm using a similar program script for my cricket event. Can you help to apply it on different host pages? I want to use it for the emirates league page.
What do you think could be some possible ways to market it?
There are lots of ways, but they all are a lot of work :). I have ideas and I need to put in the time!
Maybe an easy way is to just post on HN I heard that works almost every time ;)
