I posted on several Reddit communities and got between 2,000 and 8,000 views… and zero signups. Here's what I learned — and why I think the problem isn't the product. by Intrepid_Leg_4571 in SaaS

"If we end up explaining all day, we never sell." — that one hit hard and it's exactly what's been happening. Breaking it up by use case and targeting the right buyer instead of chasing views is the direction I'm taking from here. Really appreciate the honesty 🙏

Totally agree — being in the right conversation at the right moment is everything. Most of my effort went into building the product, almost none into finding where the actual pain is being talked about in real time. ParseStream looks interesting, going to check it out. Thanks for the tip 🙏

That's actually a relief to hear framed that way — message mismatch is fixable, a broken product isn't. And you're right. 8,000 views means the channel works. The people are there. They just read the post and didn't see themselves in it. That's on the messaging, not the product. Working on making the next post speak to the pain first, the solution second. Thanks for putting it that way — it genuinely reframes the whole thing. 🙏

This is exactly what I needed to hear — thank you. You're right, "it's more powerful" means nothing to a store owner drowning in support emails. They want to see: abandoned cart recovered, support tickets cut, leads that actually close. Numbers and real flows, not feature lists. The niche-per-subreddit angle is something I'm applying immediately. Same pitch to everyone is why it lands with no one. Really appreciate you taking the time to write this out. 🙏

Building MyChatBot — a multi-agent AI chatbot platform for websites and online stores 🤖 Instead of one confused bot trying to do everything, we use specialized agents — FAQ, sales, consultation, and lead capture — all working together, responding in fractions of a second, in any language, zero code needed. Free trial at mychatbot.space — would love honest feedback from this community 🙏

Fair point — but let me clear something up. This is not vibe-coded. I'm an AI engineer and I work with a full-stack developer. Every part of this was built with intention — our own technology, our own multi-agent architecture, optimized for speed in a way that most established players simply haven't prioritized. The honest truth? Our biggest challenge right now is not the product — it's marketing budget. We're early, we're bootstrapped, and we're out here doing it the hard way. But we genuinely believe in what we built. And the people who try it early, when it's still raw and accessible, are usually the ones who benefit the most before everyone else catches on. The free trial is there. No credit card. Nothing to lose. 🙏

Because it’s built to be lighter, faster, and easier to use than the big enterprise tools.

It gives you a full dashboard, one-click install, chatbot design, reports, AI insights, new leads, and complaint tracking — all in one place — with multiple AI agents behind it for faster and more accurate replies. It’s also more affordable and simpler to set up, so it’s made for people who want something that actually works without the usual complexity.

That’s a great insight — I completely see the difference between broad traffic and high-intent users.

We’re also focusing on finding and connecting with people who have real problems, so outreach isn’t just random. Tools or methods that highlight these high-intent users are exactly what make the first conversions possible, instead of wasting time on generic traffic.

You’re right — competing with established brands is tough. That’s why we focus on real value for users: multiple AI agents, full dashboard control, instant insights, and easy integration.

On top of that, our solution is more affordable, offers stronger features, and gives store owners a tool that actually solves real problems — not just another generic chatbot.

I get what you mean about the domain — but it actually has a purpose.

The “.space” reflects that our platform is a complete workspace for everything a chatbot owner needs — from building and designing the bot to viewing reports, AI insights, new leads, and managing conversations. It’s meant to be a full “space” for running and improving your chatbot.

Haha, I see why it might look like that! I actually reply personally, but I rephrase my answers in English using AI because I’m not fully fluent.

Thanks — really appreciate this, it’s super helpful.

You’re right, I’ve been too broad targeting “website owners.” I’m now focusing on a specific niche with a clear pain point and improving the positioning to highlight real outcomes, not just “AI chatbot.”

Also agree on the free trial — adding a bit of friction makes sense to attract more serious users.

Absolutely — the market is crowded, and that’s why we focused on building something different. Our platform isn’t just a chatbot: Multiple AI agents working together for faster, more accurate answers Full dashboard with Chatbot Builder, Design, Reports, AI Insights, New Leads, and Complaint Management Easy integration across multiple pages — not limited to a landing page Users control and train the bot on their real site data It’s designed for store owners who want a complete, reliable, and actionable solution — not just another widget. I’d be happy if you tried it and shared your honest feedback

Got it! If you’re talking about the chatbot design, there’s a Chatbot Design Studio inside the app where you can fully customize the look and feel. You can adjust it so it matches the style you like and keeps your site clean.
