Made money from LifeTimeDeal!
by Wilson BrightA month ago we started Life Time Deal(LTD) for BlockSurvey (https://blocksurvey.io).
We got inspired by @volkandkaya post on his experience with affiliate marketing few months ago and it helped us look into this space.
We all know that AppSumo is the leader in this space. However, I looked for alternatives. Finally, I found Dealify a startup via this blog https://www.dealify.com/appsumo-alternatives/. I liked Tom's transparency and honesty. And he really wants to help young startups.
Here are key outcomes and learnings from LTD in 30 days.
- Helped us to raise awareness of the product and brand.
- Helped us learn how to support and write user guides extensively.
- Helped us learn how to take feedback and prioritize.
- Made us to ship more features based on feedback.
- Started weekly product demos and monthly newsletter.
- We published the roadmap publicly for 2020.
- Fixed UI / UX issues that were blind spots to us.
- Created a community among early adopters.
- Learned LTD users really support and care for your growth by investing their time.
Launching an LTD felt more intense than PH, and it's definitely worth some experience.
P.S. I am very grateful to all the IndieHackers for sharing their experiences, and it will definitely help one or the other.

How is the deal performing?Just curious why did you go with a Appsumo alternative not Appsumo?

The deal is going well. We've got about 1000 sign ups.
Alternative choice was driven mainly because of the readiness and also wanted to keep the key low. It was a choice for us.

Sorry for missing this. It took about 30 days.

Nice..
One thing that puts a doubt while trying competitors of Appsumo is the volume of users you will acquire.
i.e you will acquire only a small set of users from LTD..But in your case 1000 user over 30days is really good.
Did you ever consider other alternatives to dealify?
Is there any clause in dealify that you cannot do a Appsumo or other vendors deal after dealify deal ends..
Because, if dealify doesn't work I have try something else like Appsumo?
I had a similar problem while trying another vendor with similar proposition..

There are no clauses after the deal ends. You cannot run a parallel deal in two platforms. That's about it. You can email Tom at Dealify. He is a helpful person. Give it a shot.

sure. As I am typing this message I'm dropping a messaging to Tom on Linkedin.
Hopefully, Tom can help us get some good reach from our new product launch as well.
