AppSumo deal live, instantly got paid customer 😍

by Mathias Lykkegaard Lorenzen

Despite my product being a dev product, I instantly got a paid customer through AppSumo after the deal going live, despite it being private, and despite me not sharing it with anyone.

That's very strange, but apparently normal. I've talked to several others on Twitter experiencing the same.

It seems that although it's privately listed, people are finding it via scripts or something similar.

I just hope people don't refund, which they actually have 2 months to do. I also hope that people leave good reviews!

      Sorry for not getting back sooner. Nope, the deal was a bummer. Only one paying customer got out of it. Probably the wrong segment for me I suppose.

          It looks like you guys never got to 5 reviews which opens up more visibility. Did you not try to push for that?

    I saw your deal was included in their Facebook and Instagram ads carousel.

    Hey Mathias!
    Congrats thats awesome! Quick question, how much does AppSumo take when it comes to the marketplace since its private? I know their normal deal they take 70%, is it the same since it's private?

        Commission is only 30%, possibly less depending on the current terms.
