I launched on AppSumo to radio silence. Help?
I launched https://pretzelbox.cc (an alternative to Hey for Domains) on AppSumo earlier this week (Monday) to basically radio silence. I got one conversion which was reversed within the same day.
Any help in improving the listing would be much appreciated.

Hi, I had a quick glance. My first impression.
It's pretty pricey. As far as I understood it's email aliases plus mail to blog and mail to portfolio site.
You charge 228 per year appsumo, which is not a massive discount. And probably it's among the most expensive 5% of appsumo yearly deals.
More generally, your product addresses a specific niche. Who needs many email addresses from his own domain but cannot die E-Mail aliases. How many people blog by sending an email? And how many create a portfolio site from email. And how many need all of this together?
(I may have misunderstood, I just had a quick glance.)
And there are thousands of appsumo deals, so not many will discover it in the first place.
Maybe start with a more aggressive price to get some first traction?
This is good advice. I was trying to balance going too aggressive on price with having to deal with AppSumo buyers who have a reputation of being super demanding. Clearly this pricing isn't working very well - will have to reconsider.
