We launched https://usenextbase.com 24 days ago. Just wanted to jot down my thoughts on how we reached a small win of 2000 USD quickly.
We didn't undersell. Our lowest tier is priced at 295$. We wanted to give a further discount for our early users but instead of underselling too low at 150$ or so, we decided to be aggressive and sell it at a value we felt was reasonable and comparable to other options in the market. 😄
We looked into our analytics and found users who signed up but didn't purchase it. We reached out and requested for feedback and why they chose not to go through with a purchase. Some replied, some didn't. And when the feedback was resolved, some users converted and purchased the product. 🤗
We talk to some of our customers regularly and they give us insights on what features to build next.
We also talk to our competitors. For eg we exchange notes with Jonathan who built https://supastarter.dev and help each other out. The market is large and multiple competing products can survive together. So we should help each other out.
This is still a very small win, but I thought I share these notes with you in hopes to see more makers achieve their goals.
Note: Our product hunt launch also went fairly ok. We got 90 upvotes and ranked about 15th in the day. So it was not a huge win. We didn't plan the launch in advance either. We just wanted to launch something quickly. So while PH did play a small role, our best sales happened through just constant communication with customers.
Wish you the best.
