Hey, πŸ‘‹ I just wanted to share some results and ask for advice. Recently, we've launched AB-TASK on betalist. πŸš€ We were waiting for the launch for 3 months. I didn't want to pay to get in front of the line. The results are humble to say the least πŸ˜†. We've got 5 (five) registrations and a bunch of spammy emails in our inbox after the launch. That's it. Now I am glad at least it was free. The only good thing is that we've been contacted by former YC-China and they invited us on a call. I think they found us on betalist. What do people typically do to drive more attention to their launch on such platforms? I told my friends about it and shared the launch on our LinkedIn company page but we have only around 80 followers. So this didn't help a lot.

I am also waiting for my product to be launched on Betalist, They have rejected my product once. I could not understand the reasons, but made few more changes and resubmitted. Now again waiting to see if it get listed or not. 3 months waiting time πŸ™‚ , This actually diminishes the very need to use this platform for launch

I would say, start making people aware on relevant platforms and in relevant groups. Instead of posting about your lunch and waiting for people to follow around isn't always a very good idea. For now, you can try Reddit.

Are you (or team member) active on social channels? Good old fashioned attraction marketing still works when you don’t have a significant ad budget. Answer relevant questions in groups/forums/threads (FB, Reddit, Quora, etc). Post case studies (from alpha users or your tests) and helpful tips. After that, paid ads on Google and Meta (FB/IG) are still the best way to get faster traction. $50-$100/day can do a lot. Even $20/day can move the needle. Minimum 4 weeks. Ideally, 90-day ad plan with nurture retargeting and emails/texts/etc.

I have explored your site, on my personal experience i m sharing a few things, 1. you have to add to get sign ups, pls add sign in with Google kind of SSO, nobody prefer to enter e-mail details etc., 2. Need a clarity on, for whom you are providing a solution. 3. Pick a sector and approach the companies directly and give them trial, atleast for 5 members team, 5 to 15, may be a restaurant, super market, web agency any. Initial stage, meta, adwords, - won't help. Listing in capterra, kind of directories may help And about pricing, pls try to offer a fixed basic plan, other plans as you wish, for example, i should know on $3, i m getting all these features. For example non tech users don't get clarity on clicks, transactions etc.,

Thank you for your support and feedback! Your advice and feedback are gold. Yes, we are trying to maintain some activity on social channels but we are not great here. We are a team of two people. Both are technical nerds. πŸ˜… I am trying to split my time like so. Product development over the weekends. Some marketing efforts in the evenings of business days. We'll put SSO on our roadmap for sure. I agree, it's probably a must these days. Concerning pricing, I've been thinking for quite some time about how to explain our pricing model to users. Basically, our price is AWS charges for consumed resources + our interest which is something like "tax" over AWS charges. In reality, it should be very cheap and flexible but our pricing model is not the one users can easily understand.

Hi Georgy, Just my opinion, from the site info is quite not self-explanatory. Don’t quite get it, what your app does actually and how it can be profitable for me and how you can use it in real life
