Got my First Paying User
I launched ColdMessageGPT (https://shorturl.at/gmzOS) about 2 weeks ago. For the launch, I:
-
Marketed To Reddit, Hackernews, Twitter with little traction.
-
Cold Messaged individuals. People were either very interested or very disinterested in the product.
-
Got some helpful advice and feature requests.
I was cold messaging people left and right. But hand-crafting each message was getting tiresome. I wrote some scripts which automated this....and I thought others might benefit from this too. Hence, I created ColdMessageGPT.
Learning about marketing by doing is incredible. I sprayed and prayed to a lot of different places and got attention in places I wouldn't have thought of. Most users didn't upgrade to the paid tier but one did.
This is all I needed to stay focused and Motivated. ❤️
Hey, you're using my tool ExtensionPay to take payments in your extension. Nice!
Just wanted to say that once you refine the product a little bit then ProductHunt might be a good place to market your extension.
Also, try to get as many positive reviews on the Chrome web store as possible. That really helps with Google's algorithms and helps other users find your product.
Hey, Thanks for the suggestions!! I really liked using Extension Pay, hope you continue working on it.
that's awesome! congrats on the launch. hoping i can get to where you're at!
Thanks!!
Congratulations 😄 Just keep going and even more will come!
Thanks!!
Congratulations on getting your first paying user! That's a major milestone in any startup journey. It's great to see your hard work and dedication paying off. Keep building on this momentum and focus on providing value to your users. Wishing you continued success!
Thanks and wish you luck!!
I'd love to know more about your cold messaging strategy. I'm writing a piece on cold messaging for Decoding SaaS newsletter and I'm looking for some products to feature there for free that have made considerable progress with cold messaging.
Right now, it's completely spray and pray. As I talk to more users, I'll build a customer persona which will improve the results. I'm happy to talk to you further.
Let's chat. Hit me up on twitter (link in bio).
This kind of reminds me of Cold Email Studio - you should take a look and see how you can differentiate yourself from them, or maybe get some inspiration!
Thanks man!! Cold Email studio offers a lot of things but their prices are extreme as well with 5000$/month. I'm offering a self serve solution for 5$/month.
I'll look at what I can add to my offering with low overhead to provide more value.
Sounds great! Wish you the best of luck - sounds like you're on the right track
First of all Congratulations! Stay focussed and motivated.
One query on your approach - How did you select the users for cold outreach?
This has very wide usecases. So, I posted in multiple subreddits to gauge interest and then messaged people in subreddits where I got some interest.
Congratulations on your achievement!
Thanks man!!
Congrats and thanks for sharing your journey!
Thanks man!!
Congratulations on getting your first paying user for ColdMessageGPT! It sounds like you've put a lot of effort into launching and marketing your product, and it's great to see your hard work paying off. Keep up the good work!
Thanks man!!
Awesome stuff!
Thanks!!
Congratulations, this is big step because difference between 0 and 1 is huge. Good luck!
By the way, do you use Stripe for payments?
Thanks!! Yes, we use Stripe for payments
congratulation for first user
Many More to come
Thank you :)
Is it free or paid?
I'm still experimenting with price points. Currently, it's a 7day free trial and then 5$ per month subscription.
Congratulations! Thank you for sharing some steps you used in getting a paying user.
I also launched my own SaaS Webapp, logomakerr.ai (https://logomakerr.ai/) which generates a logo instantly in under 5 minutes or less.
Hopefully I'll get more clients and tractions using your suggestions.
Congrats on getting a paying customer. One of my projects from last year just got a paid customer and the feeling was amazing!
Thanks!! You can share the project with us here.
Hi @iwillcodetodeath
You may want to improve the Overview on your Chrome web store page. The first sentence is duplicated. Some of the others do not read well.
All the best
