Preparing for My Product Launch (Mrscraper V3)

As a marketer at MrScraper, I'm thrilled to announce that we are gearing up to launch the much-anticipated version 3 of our web scraper tool! This new version brings exciting features that will make web scraping more powerful and insightful than ever before. But before we roll it out, we need your help to make it the best it can be.

Launch Platforms

We're planning to share MrScraper v3 on several platforms to reach a wide audience and gather valuable feedback. Here's where you can expect to find us:

  2. Reddit
    We'll be posting in relevant subreddits like r/webscraping, r/Entrepreneur, and r/startups to engage with communities that are interested in web scraping and startup launches.

  3. Twitter
    Twitter is a great platform for real-time updates and engaging with followers. We'll be tweeting about the new features and encouraging our followers to try out MrScraper v3 and share their feedback.

  4. DevHunt
    DevHunt is a platform specifically for developers to discover and discuss new tools. We'll be sharing MrScraper v3 here to get insights from the developer community.

  5. Microlaunch

    Great ideas! As a marketer I also developed SaveDay - a Chrome Extension and got the top 1 of the day on Product Hunt.

    With the amount of online content I consume daily, from competitors' blog posts to our own documents, and from lengthy YouTube videos to industry news, finding specific information became tedious. I often found myself racking my brain for keywords and hoping for the best on Google (which doesn't always work).

    So, I created SaveDay to eliminate the wasted time searching for scattered information. Now, when I come across something valuable, I simply save it to my collections. Then, when I need it, I can search it back using related terms (no need for exact keywords). If you're interested, feel free to check it out. I'd love to hear your feedback.

    And if you have any questions, I'd be happy to answer them. Thank you!

  6. 1

    thank you man it was well

  7. 1

    Thank you! I typically share updates on my current projects, talk about the obstacles I encounter during product development, and exchange marketing tactics. I actively engage in subreddits such as r/saas, r/marketing, and r/SaaSMarketing. Nevertheless, it's important to note that I have faced three bans in the past.

  8. 1

    When do you plan to launch on Product Hunt? :)

    1. 1

      We’re launching next week!

      Stay tuned for the exact time, I’ll be sharing all the details here soon.

      Can’t wait to share it with you all!

    Nice site and appreciate the transparency! Feedback on video: my preference is to jump right to 25 seconds in - demo what you are doing right away, the right people landing on your page will likely feel that pain. Good to note but i'd make the stress/problem shorter, and get to the meat.

    Good luck with launch :)

    1. 1

      Thanks so much for the feedback! After double-checking the video, I totally get your point about jumping straight into the demo😆

      I'll work on shortening the intro and getting to the main content quicker.

      Appreciate the support and well wishes for the launch!

    2. 1

      I was just about to say the same!

      1. 1

        Nice Info, Thanks, Ashaa!

  10. 1

    Hey well done
    here is my feedback

    The first thing I might recommend is to put a video demo of your tool on the landing page, maybe something like this landing pages perspective.co, lottiefiles.com/plugins/webflow.

    with maybe a list of use cases too like this leadkit.ai

    Instead of having a lot of words to do the talking for you. Image, gif, video will convert more.

    Use that to tell them how easy your tool will be the best option for them.

    As for marketing, devresourc.es. Indie hacker, Cold email, Hackernews, Medium, Your Linkedin profile, app.daily.dev, JVZoo, Warriorplus can be good too.

    Wish you success on your launch.

    1. 1

      Thanks so much for your thoughtful feedback!

      Adding a video demo and use cases is a great idea, I’ll definitely look into that.

      You're right visuals can be very effective!!!

      Thanks for the marketing tips as well. I’ll explore those platforms and channels.

      Wish you success in your endeavors too Vicky!

    I'm looking forward to your launch. May I ask how you managed to get attention from people on Reddit? It seems that every time I post in r/Entrepreneur, there's little to no interest.

    1. 1

      Thanks! I usually share what I’m working on, discuss challenges I face while developing products, and share marketing strategies. I also participate in subreddits like r/saas, r/marketing, and r/SaaSMarketing. However, be careful—I've been banned three times before.

  12. 1

    I'm looking forward

    1. 1

      Thanks, Rayson! Will share the news in the next few days!

    cant wait to use it. What are the new features of v3 compared to v2?

    1. 2

      Thank You!!

      There are 2 new features in the v3:

      1. Recording Feature, this lets you capture and review video records of your scraping activities.
      2. AI Info Results, it uses AI to give deeper insights from the data you extract, helping you spot trends and predict future occurrences.

      Also, there is a new feature named magic fill, you can only copy and paste the URL of the web and fill in what you want to scrap. So, the result will appear.

      1. 1

        @MrScraper why is magic fill not given more screen time on your hero? this feels like a pretty "magic" feature :)

        1. 1

          Thanks for pointing that out!
          Magic Fill is indeed a "magical" feature we're proud of. We'll make sure to highlight it more prominently in our future updates.

    Thats a nice tool for sure and great marketing ideas.

    Here is a free tool to scrape email addresses from a web page. Its a chrome extension.

    FYI. if you want to hide email address from spammers and email scrapers. You should use a tool like veilmail.io to protect your email address
