$1500 of sales in 20 days
by NicoI made $1500 with TalkNotes by simply listing the app on various startup directories.
Process is simple: find directories, fill out forms, and pay if the site had a high domain authority.
Most traffic comes from these directories, but it's not sustainable in the long term.
I also collected valuable user feedback through automated welcome emails, which helped shape upcoming features.
Plans for September = releasing top-requested features, introducing a subscription model, and launching on ProductHunt.

Amazing work! As someone looking to build something new, was curious about the initial launch, before you started to promote it on directories, did you work with an initial set of beta users, and if so how many and for how long (and how did you find them), while building this out?

No beta, I made the first version of the app in a couple of days then launched

Congrats on the earnings!
One UX tip for your landing page: I expected that clicking on your logo would take me to the homepage, but nothing happens.

Thanks! 😄
And yes, good catch, I will fix that

Why would that not be sustainable? Can't you be active in communities related to those?

Because those are repertories, not communities, so they promote you once then it dies out

Yea i get they promote you once, you get an initial bump. But if you continually engage with the right communities, that initial bump will take you to a higher level than before that is sustainable.

Yeah, but then it's a different strategy, it's not "posting on repertories" anymore :)
