Launched Private Beta - Got incredible response
by ConradLThis is an evening we will remember.
With our distributor, we set out to try to find 10 clients for a paid beta version.
Out of the 1200 members of his (private) community, 120 persons joined the live webinar and watched the entire 1 hour et 40 minutes long Intellifox demonstration.
Out of 120 persons, 35 subscribed the same day to participate to the PAID beta version. 15 followed the next day, and it's not over.
With one evening, Intellifox News jumped from 0 subscribers to 125, and it's not over.
We're now out of the blur of whether our product can be perceived as useful or not. We're on track to make it profitable really fast. This is an amazing feeling.
Next step is to manually onboard a selection of 10-15 people and continue from here.

Although I understand french, maybe for other Indie Hackers I would suggest you do an english version.
Another point would be to have a real live demo that you could play with before sign-up + define the pitch a bit better - not sure if it's just me, maybe try hotjar to see what people are doing on the page?
Good luck!-

Hey MissAna,
Thank you for feedback! You're 100 percent right and this will definitely be a priority for me very soon.I have a very good reason for the tool to only be in French now. I'm just starting and everything is meant to change in the next few weeks, from wording to visuals, depending on my beta feedback. Having an English version right now would be a huge time stealer, where I would have to think twice for each pieces of word.
In the past I made the mistake of focusing on English while reducing the impact of the words on my own people, the ones I can reach in my native tongue!
Weirdly my goal right now is not to attract more customers. It's to create close relationships with my beta users and deepen my understanding of the challenges they face.
The Live Demo I love it! That's a goal I'm looking forward to accomplish once the private beta is over. And I'm already using Hotjar which is a goldmine.
