How do we get people to see Karmabot.chat?

  • 65% of traffic is organic: people google or bing, or baidu karma bot, we practically occupied most of the first page results
  • 611 from IndieHacker, I’ve been posting updates weekly for more than a year: https://www.indiehackers.com/product/karmabot 🙏 Thank you all for this.
  • 468 from https://www.lapa.ninja/post/karmabot/ – simply because we have such a beautiful landing page, this aggregator grabbed it and created this page. The conversion rate is low for this, obv. These visitors do not come for the product.
  • 278 twitter. We don’t really post under @karmabot_chat acc, but I track progress at my personal https://twitter.com/stas_kulesh
  • 193 https://cashbar.app – launched this side gig at PH and got featured as a good example of Carrd.co landing template later on Twitter. Karma banner at the bottom of the page seems to be working.
  • 71 personal blog at https://staskulesh.com
  • 64 visits from Pioneer-related pages. (Karma was featured twice)
  • 61 HN
  • 42 YT
  • 29 Facebook
  • 28 Linkedin

What I read from this data:

  • having a personal brand helps a lot (Twitter, personal blog)
  • posting your progress regularly works
  • side-projects and beautiful landing pages sorta work – they get featured, but the crowd is not likely your customers. However, I strongly believe that increases your search engine visibility.
  • social networks don’t work

The conclusions are very subjective, I’m simply sharing as it is and thinking out loud. Obviously, every company is different, this is all very much Karma-specific.
