From 2 failed startups to 3,776 signups and 146 subscribers in 1 month.
Hello hackers,
I made yet another AI content humanizer because the tools you can find in Google were ... let's say improvable. They often destroy your text just to bypass AI detectors.
My plain language, ChatGPT, and coder background made this an easy decision, so I had to give it my best shot.
And wow, I never had a launch like this. From the get-go, my website traffic rose to over 1,164 visits per day. Firstly, it was thanks to Reddit, but then Google joined the launch.
The tool generated 3,776 free accounts and 146 paying subscibers in one month.
Here is how I did it:
Start with a great keyword (high traffic/low competition) and build your start page around it. Focus on ONE feature for your first version.
Look at the top Google results for your keyword and copy what they do - but better. They are on top of Google for a reason.
Create backlinks on AI directories, but not too fast, or it might look spammy for Google.
Post your link on social media whenever people are talking about problems you have the solution for.
Free tier. With so much competition, you have to convince visitors immediately. Let them try your tool ASAP. Limit it fiercely, though. People will abuse it.
Ask your first customers for feedback.
Analytics. Collect data on how users use your page and learn from it.
Before I launched this software I went to YouTube university and watched as many videos on SEO as I could. That probably helped a lot. Get a decent keyword tool to find those keyword gold nuggets. Like ahrefs, Semrush, or UberSuggest.
My first two startups failed because too few people searched for the keywords, and the competition was too high. I added too many features and created a tool for everybody instead of a specific, well-defined niche.
My golden solopreneur rule: ONE awesome feature beats TEN shitty ones by a LANDSLIDE. Don't build a tool for everyone.

Feedback and questions are very welcome.
Thank you!
Indiehacker is turning into clickbait forum. No data and stat proof. Just proper clickbait.
Thanks for hating. I must be on the right path! ;)
You can see the visitor progress if you enter the url https://ai-text-humanizer.com into ahrefs, Semrush, or your favourite SEO tool.
And if you apply like 1% conversion to that visitor count, you will come to see that the numbers are realistic.
Ahrefs data are based on assumption, it can be vaguely boosted by buy cheap links from Fiverr. It has no correlation with actual stats.
You have still not added any real proof to counter me. I must be right.
What proof would you want to see in posts like this to trust it more?
Actual stats snap in post if you're really claiming something.

Before reading this, We could‘ve thought aiming for large pool is always a right thing. Your article gives new inspiration for those people, Thanks!
Solopreneurs have to niche down a lot IMO. Solve a very specific problem for a very specific audience. Start with yourself. What are your pains? Do others have those, too?
Hey,
congrats for the successful launch Gablo!
I am currently on the ideation for defining some products to launch in 2025 as part of a personal startup challenge, and I had some questions :
Could you share some advices on how you find the idea and the "magic" feature on your side?
Also I didn't understand what you mean by create backlinks on AI directories, what do you mean by that?
Thanks so much and I'll keep following the evolution of ai-text-humanizer ;)
Thank you!
I'd start with your own pains. What's something you'd use if there were a simple online tool? Then brainstorm keywords and Google them to get more keywords. Then input those keywords in a keyword tool like Ahrefs or Ubersuggest to see if you find anything that has high search volume (>5,000 searches/month) but low-mid competition (<40 difficulty). If it's also a keyword where people are actively looking for a solution for their problem: That's your chance.
Here is a list of AI directories: https://github.com/best-of-ai/ai-directories
They are websites where you can just add your product, link, and description. I'd recommend going with a few big ones instead of lots of little free ones. The little ones are often a waste of time.
Good luck,
Gablo
Awesome, thanks for your answer, I'll definitely do that on my analysis process, thanks so much
Que pasada hermano, enhorabuena
