Featured on Betalist a few hours ago, already my second best source of traffic

Hey guys,

Just wanted to share that Octobook was just featured on Betalist last night! It's already become my second best source of traffic and it's only been a few hours.

Excited to see how it goes there, although I wish I chose better photos and had a better description since I made the submission over a month ago...

Here's the link if anyone is interested :) https://betalist.com/startups/octobook

I'll post the results here once the day is over

    Just curious, how much traffic are you getting? And what is the price atm?

      I'm sitting at ~147 unique visitors at the moment, but the conversion rate to subscribers is high. >50% visitors from there have subscribed to be notified when I release!

      I'd second this curiosity :).

      Also, www.octobook.io seems like a nice and helpful product. I'd be happy to feature it on SaaSHub's Tribune once it's released. Just submit it and ping me back. Cheers!

        Thank you! I'll be sure to get in touch when it's time for release :)

    Hi Ishan,
    You have got an awesome landing page design.
    Are your coding and designing yourself ?

      Thank you! I've done all the coding myself, but my partner has done all the design!

      Your hero text is "AI bases Super personalized reading app", shouldn't it be "AI based" ?

        Yeah, we noticed after we had applied. We even emailed the support but got no reply.

    Interesting! What kind of "insights" do you provide?

    Nice!

    I actually like the "Notes" screenshot on Betalist which is mostly obscured on your website.

    One question for you – what does it mean to "add" or "catalog" a book? Am I uploading an ePub or PDF to Octobook? Or does Octobook have a database of books and I'm just selecting which books I'm reading? That part is a little confusing to me.

      Thank you! I realise the landing page doesn't really show much of the web app at all right now. I'll upload a video soon which will go through the entire web app and showcase everything.

      I've gotten that question a few times and I should probably make that clearer! Currently, Octobook has a database of books and you can choose and add ones you are reading. You can also upload a cover photo and input a custom book if you'd like. Uploading ePub or PDF sounds like an interesting idea too, though. I'll take a look into it if its something that would be useful!

        Thanks for clarifying! Adding a video sounds like a good plan.
