Automatio reached 3000 Early Adopter Subscribers
by Stefan SmiljkovicAutomatio reached more than 3000 people subscribed and interested in early access.
All those people came organically trough the videos I created and shared on a couple of places like Facebook and other communities, without a $ invested in paying ads or promotions.
~ 2 weeks ago I got two waves of different shares on some private Facebook Groups which ended in ~2k unique visitors and ~300 EA subscribers.
Overall, people show a lot of interest in Automatio, so its gonna be one really good big launch when it's ready 🤞.

This is a great looking tool that I've had the privilege of seeing in action and it's had a lot of thought and skill put into it by a dedicated founder. Can't wait for the launch, Stefan 😀

Gotcha. Completed. Just send an email with more details regarding one of my responses. I would probably do a month to test things out, before doing an annual plan personally. I am sure other would dive right in though!

Very cool, congrats on the milestone. Your landing page is quite nice. One suggestion would be to not have every section animate in. It's neat on the first section after the header but it loses it's slickness as you go further down the page.

Thanks for the suggestion Kyle. You are right, I felt that feeling myself as well. This is just MVP page done in rush, will be better once I have resource or time to put on it.

Thanks Daniel!

Well, in short. First of all, have a good product/idea which will make people really want it.
-
After that, everything is easier and you will be more welcome by others to see you posting on Groups, Communities, or to send them emails.
-
For Facebook, first join groups that are related to you, your product, or service. Be there for a while, write some posts, ask some questions, comment.
-
If the group is big and quality (no spam) and you see it can bring you a lot of value to get your post there, contact admin and ask is it ok to post it.
-
Don't sell, instead share some usage case, scenario, case study, tutorial, or how to solve some problem using your product.
-
Now what I do is, create a native Facebook video and post on my FB page. Then I use share to group option, which basically re-share that native Facebook post/video into other groups. And I do that for 5-10 groups.
Here is some stats for my posts, all of organic reach:
### Be aware
to not overdo it and get blocked by Facebook. You might receive some warnings. Do it slowly, like 5 posts per day with a delay of hours between. You can do it faster, but if you wanna stay on the safe side, do it slower.Or, you can end up not just banned from the FB groups, but even worse Facebook can blacklist your domain name, so you will not able to post your domain link anywhere on their platforms both FB and IG. It can be a huge problem, and I had that ~year ago with another project. You can check this post on my community.
More or less, that is the strategy. But once again, its revolve around great product/idea/problem solve, find a targeted group, being part of the groups for a while, and not being greedy

haha, thanks, bro. What a small world, glad to see you are trying to be IndieHacker bro. I was always telling you that you should focus on building some product for yourself, more than commission work.
Hope you come up with something soon!
Peace,

That's just the start for automatio. I really hope and think that it'll change the scraping and web automation industry.
Let's keep going 💪.

Hey Stefan, would love to be able to get a lifetime plan on this. Are you considering for a launch on some facebook groups or so?

Guys from the PitchGround has reached me, but I need to think about how to make a package for LTD since Automatio is based on usage.
Any idea?
-

There's other LTD vendors aside from Pitchground, I would compare. From the plan, just look at other Appsumo deal and make a ratio you would be comfortable with. Look at dorik.io, they did a great launch with a lifetime deal. I think it's a great way to get early funding and users that will use your app a lot. Rest is history.

Thanks for your suggestion. I am aware of Appsumo, and what I researched for while about that LTD direction is that Appsumo is not suitable for every business or SaaS. First of all, they take ~70% and second thing is that Automatio can't be compared to Dorik because Dorik is just a frontend builder and maybe hosting low to medium traffic landing pages. That is it, he can give the LTD without getting too much affected.
On the other side, Automatio is based on usage, its charged per second of your bot is running. So giving LTD is not that simple and attractive as you think.
In my case, if I would go for LTD, I would need to limit users to some point, like giving a certain amount of credits that they can use per month or year.

Exactly Rami! You got it right. Automatio doesn't need validation, it's far away from MVP even it's not launched yet and yeah, I am building those people around it for years.
And at the same time, when you combine this with some growth hacks, it results in a lot of organic or viral traffic without too much effort.
