I want to pay you $5 to help me out!

👋 Hi, friends on Indie Hackers. I am preparing for a launch on Product Hunt soon and I am seeking to get third party perspectives. I want to see how people are using the app and from that, I want to gather a list of highly important tasks that need to be done before the launch date.

All I need from you is to hop on a video call. Share your screen as you make a few videos. Then fill out a quick google form to share your experience. This should take between 5-15 min of your time.

If you're interested in helping a fellow indie hacker prepare for a successful launch and earn a coffee. Then let's talk.

I'm going to be making the google document and will select a few interested people later this evening and we can schedule something out in the following days that fits within your nearest convenience.

Here is a link to what I am working on https://storycreatorapp.com/ and if you want to follow me on social media https://www.instagram.com/michaelaubry/ https://twitter.com/michaelaubry

Best,

Michael Aubry

    Wonderfully designed landing page. One line stuck out to me, though...

    "Increase your revenue by 200%."

    How'd you come to that figure? I'd at least expect a case study showing those results or a link to some study that compared edited videos to unedited ones.

    My BS meter sort of took over what was an otherwise nice experience reading through your page.

    It'd be great to explain to the skeptics like me how you came to that figure all on your landing page! Thanks.

      I really want a case study there. I agree! My thinking is that this product needs to be able to double my users' revenue. I am just setting the bar high for the product. Realistically I want to help users grow by 1000%. I believe your product/service should yield your customers and clients at least 10x what they paid you. I do think it needs to be followed up with a case study. Currently working on making that happen. I am just going off of what I believe it can do and maybe it'll be a self-fulfilling prophecy for the user. Meaning if we all believe it can happen and we execute it will happen. Then I'll get my case study ;)

      That is amazing. I'd love to chat with you and talk about some problems in the space. if you have a few mins you can set up a quick chat with me here https://calendly.com/storycreator/15min

    Cool landing page!

    🐛 Note that the vertical scrollbar is invisibile (latest Chrome@Windows 10).

      Good catch. I think it’s due to how the app behaves. I’ve disabled scroll bars for the app and the landing page shares the same codebase. Easy fix, thanks for catching.

    I loved the website. It is a little sluggish tho but not so noticeable. There was another app called Legend which was similar to https://storycreatorapp.com. Canva is also experimenting with similar video features. I think the level of customisation offered by story creator is an important differentiating factor.
    I'd love to share more insights & knowledge about tools in the video animation and video editing niche.

    I am down. When can we talk? Reach me out: [email protected]

      That’s awesome. I’ll be working all day today and would love to improve some important things. What parts did you notice to be sluggish? I’d like to see if I can optimize some minor things. I’ll shoot you an email and setup a time to have a quick chat. I’d love to learn as much as possible. Thanks for being awesome!

      1. 1

        Yeah sure! Looking forward to your email...

    Your product looks really cool! I'm not much of a video creator/social media user but I'd be happy to provide feedback if it's helpful ([email protected]).

    1. 1

      That would be awesome. Just seeing someone use it and if it feels intuitive. I do want to target users that have a burning pain that they’re happy to deal with quirks because it’s such a problem. But I’d also like for there not to be quirks and the experience to be amazing. So I need to find those customers but in the meantime mitigating any hiccups would be great. Thanks for being cool, I’ll follow up via email and we can setup a time.

    Wow looks great! I hope my site can get to looking like that some day. I would love to help. Email me - [email protected]

      Thanks for the kind words. Your site doesn’t look bad and you seem to be on the right track. If you want to hop on a call I can advise you on some tricks and tips in return for you demoing the product and getting an overall rating in return. Let me know if that interests you.

      Just checked that out. Looks like a cool tool. I built it using react and good ol hand crafted code.
