First Paying Customer to $4938 Revenue
by Amie ChenLaunching on ProductHunt gave Spider Pro a good boost - I got the very first paying customer shortly after went live. The price was set to $38 per sale with a $10 off coupon till 8/31. By the end of the month, I had made a total of $4938 and 172 sales.
Since I launched accidentally, I didn't implement a trial. This turned out to be one of the most asked questions - which I absolutely agreed, knowing the nature of web scraping. Some people asked for a refund because it didn't work for the sites they wanted to scrape and some people actually got it working after trying my custom solutions. Working through each of these support tickets help me understand how people are going to use Spider Pro much better, and help me formulate a plan for the next update.

Thanks! I like it too (haha) - after I did that I vowed to myself every landing page I make from now on needs an instant demo.

Congrats! Great progress. Really interested in what you’d doing. As a non dev, tools like this can be very handy. One feature that’d be amazing is a means of dynamically scrapping/creating RSS feeds to drive other sites (eg. A job site fed from several different job sites.
I’m aware this is probably a mission to implement lent but also know I and many others would benefit a huge amount!
Import.io is meant to do this, but have found it fails miserably and has poor support.
Best of luck!
