Looking for advice on what to do with my new side project 💡

Congrats on the sale of your company Sam.

I believe Blobbin will serve a need but I doubt it has long time survival chances. I am guessing the blogosphere is already overloaded with ML-generated posts. People will have an aversion so there will be a lot of blog posts that nobody reads.

I do believe ML can help blog writers with suggestions, so developing some kind of IDE for blog creation could be an idea. Features like links to in-depth articles, automatically generated comparison tables, diagrams, or visual art that is relevant to the topic, and so on.

Hope this helps!

Congrats on selling your first company! I looked at the new one you posted but there was an issue with responsiveness: https://share.cleanshot.com/tyD1GYGy

As there are more and more content generation tools now, and the GAFAM are definitely looking into how to spot any AI generated content, maybe as a differentiation feature you could try to add something which makes it less (or not at all? At least for the pitch ahah) detectable as AI generated. Specifically as it'll be a thing for SEO. Could be a strong sales argument, going together with what you already achieved. That's clean man, well built, def promote it ✌️

Congrats on selling your previous project!

Note that the landing page of Blobbin has a small bug for me: https://i.snipboard.io/UQ4TJ7.jpg

I would suggest:

1. Define a clear hypothesis
2. Define a primary KPI to check if the hypothesis is proved or disproved
3. Decide a timeline of a month or so to prove or disprove it
4. Talk to the users as much as you can and try to iterate the product any number of times till the deadline
5. By the end of the time period, you'll have lot more data and insights and the proved or disproved hypothesis to make the final decision on

Congrats on the sale!

Don't really have in depth feedback but the landing page looks sick and I see that there is a need for a service like this.

Awesome app, I was thinking of building this one too XD

Congrats! Added to bookmarks and I found an issue in your landing, header collapses with the paragraph. Good Luck!

Blobbin looks great i have bookmarked this and i will check it later to autmate our blog strategy. We will try this.

Personally, I don't believe the SEO claims. Increasing the volume and frequency could help a bit, but I don't think AI can produce the quality necessary to rank in the top spots.

That said, I do think there is a market for this. There are plenty of potential customers who employ a quantity over quality approach to content marketing. There are also a lot who don't have the time, aptitude or budget to invest in top quality content but know getting something out is better than nothing.

For these, I think the time/ease messaging might resonate better. Of course, that's just speculation. If you decide to move forward with marketing this, I would try to define your niche and speak to potential customers in that space about their goals, pain points, etc.

On another note, I don't understand the pricing. If 2,000 credits gives you 20 blog posts, shouldn't 6,000 give you 60 posts, not 30? Are different things worth different credits? If not, then why have them at all? Why not just put up to XX blog posts per month?

Congratulations on your successful sale and your new side project! It's exciting to hear that your experiment with the Open AI API has turned into a full-blown project.

Here are a few suggestions for what you could do next:

Validate your idea: Before you start marketing your product, it's important to validate your idea to see if people are interested in it. You could start by sharing your product with a few friends or colleagues who might be interested in it and get their feedback. You could also consider running a small beta test to get feedback from a larger group of people.

Define your target audience: To effectively market your product, you need to know who your target audience is. Who is your product for? What problem does it solve for them? Once you have a clear understanding of your target audience, you can start to think about how to reach them.

Develop a marketing strategy: Once you have validated your idea and defined your target audience, it's time to start thinking about how to market your product. You could consider creating a website or landing page for your product, running ads on social media or Google, reaching out to influencers or bloggers in your niche, and so on.

Consider selling the product: If you're not interested in pursuing the project long-term, you could consider selling it on a platform like Microaquire. However, keep in mind that you may not get the price you want, and the process can be time-consuming.

Continuously iterate and improve: Regardless of what you decide to do with your product, it's important to continuously iterate and improve it based on feedback from your users. This will help ensure that your product stays relevant and valuable over time.

As for feedback on your product, I suggest sharing more details about it and what problem it solves for its users. That way, people can give you more specific and helpful feedback. Best of luck with your new project!

Hey Sam,
In my opinion, Blobbin is a cool Idea, but there are many of its types out there, maybe to outstand you can add like, add images to the Blogs, and/or connections between the blogs created; Try adding something else others don't have (It's like an obvious observation, but it's the only thing I have to say haha).

Congrats!

Looks good but yeah get where other people are coming from - something else will come along and knock out a tonne of blog posts for faster and cheaper. Damn AI.

The project is awesome. I wanted to build something similar as well, but never jumped towards AI. I will definitely give it a try. Thanks.

The product seems quite interesting! I think it has potential considering the enormous amount of time it actually takes to come up with great content that has all the relevant keywords.

I think you should try promoting it on Twitter, since there is a huge community of AI enthusiasts there.

Good idea. I would definitely consider expanding it a bit if I were you to also:

1. Identify those keywords for you, as users might not even be aware of all the keywords they want to rank for.
2. Go beyond blog articles and create content clusters - landing pages, sub pillar pages and then the supporting blog posts. The reason why people want to rank is to generate more revenue, and the best way to do it today is by having a comprehensive content strategy
3. Build clever content such as comparison tables (which then requires the algorithm to scan the competition and their flaws and shared traits with you)

Don't get me wrong, this is a great start but Upwork AI content creator just applied for an ad we wrote and he can knock out 100 articles in a day for $10. So what you want to do to scale this IMO is make the product more sophisticated and complex, solving ranking opportunities more deeply and on the blogging side, have packages that go beyond 100 articles per day even if that's what someone wants.
