Got my first paying customer for LinksWatcher !

What mattered most wasn't the revenue itself. It was understanding why they bought.

The big takeaway: they were not just worried about broken URLs. Their real problem was revenue leaking from product pages that still looked “alive” but were actually useless because the product was out of stock or effectively dead.

That keeps confirming something for me:
LinksWatcher is probably less of a “link checker” and more of a revenue protection tool for affiliate teams and creators with lots of product links.

Classic checks can say “200 OK” while the page is no longer monetizable in practice. That gap is exactly what I'm trying to solve.

Now I’m trying to learn from this first customer:

• what made them trust a new tool

• what feature made the difference

• and whether this is the same pain other affiliate publishers / agencies feel too

For those of you selling to content teams, publishers, or agencies:
what usually convinced your first real customers to buy?
