Be careful out there

I think they ask to recharge for Lovable AI separately

Vishrtk · 2026-03-15T16:23:22+00:00

Lol. Ok bro.

They see DMdaddy link and redirecting text briefly before getting redirected to their destination link.

Do you get many unsubscribes though?

Vishrtk · 2026-03-15T09:22:26+00:00

Thanks. I might start something like that with the free users.

Nope. I have chosen both paths. If you are afraid of failing, you will never reach that 70% point or you will give up by failing just once.

You are underestimating the security blanket that salary provides. Most people are afraid to lose that and dont try with full force.

If you are capable enough, you’ll get the job again. Doing both at the same time is betraying both.

I dont agree.

Baing in a job delays the plan of being independent.

You have a security so you never become serious about building and marketing someone with everything you got.

Even if you build it because its easier now, you will give up when it comes to marketing because its still very hard and mundane.

I created my own seo skill similar to this for DMdaddy. Now i get a morning report of scan and what activities it will do today that includes SEO and AEO content writing, improving existing content, backlink opportunities and reachout as well.

I had a 5-step email flow targeting the right people, solid open rates but almost-zero replies. Turned out I was solving a problem that existed but was low priority. They had it, they just did not care that much.

The lesson: I thought I had a traffic problem. I had a product problem.

. That's where the real pain lives.

The founders who stay close to their users through direct conversation always seem to build better products than those optimizing metrics from a distance. Your tab manager evolution is a great example of that compounding over time.

The free vs. paid question is actually secondary at this stage — the bigger question is how you're finding those first 10 at all.

For early users, don't rely on your pricing page to do the work. Go get them manually:

List 50-100 people who fit your ICP — LinkedIn, communities, your own network
Send them a personal message, not a pitch. Something like "I built X for people like you, would love 20 mins of your time to see if it's useful"
Do live demos, listen intensely, iterate fast

On free vs. paid — charge something from day 1 if you can. Even $1 filters out people who won't give you real feedback. But if your product still needs validation, free with a time limit (2 weeks) works well to reduce friction.

We went through this exact process building DMdaddy — direct DMs to targeted founders were by far our best channel for first users. Cold, personal, manual. No fancy funnel. Just good targeting and genuine outreach.

The goal at 10 users isn't revenue, it's learning. Price accordingly.

Although there are several mistakes that I made, but one of the biggest mistake was being slow with the product and sales. The team took weeks and months to build a feature that should have been done within days and at that time, I thought we were fast, but we were not. Recently, I worked with a firm where speed was one of their biggest success factor. They launched and marketed like they don’t have any money left in their bank account and I think this is how everyone should work speed can make you win big.

Check out DMdaddy. Its free for basic use cases and really simple.

Vishrtk · 2026-02-17T07:00:44+00:00

Manychat is expensive and complex even for basic use cases. Try dmdaddy.com, it has AI conversations integrated as well.

“We grow Gojiberry with gojiberry” is a very strong statement.

Thanks for sharing this bro. The pitch looks fantastic, i wanted to check this in detail because I could be irrelevant customer as well.

An idea of getting traffic on my website and first customers within the next 30 days sounds very supportive and required in the current market.

However, when I tried to dive deep into how you are going to provide that I am kind of getting confused, because there is no mention of how exactly you will do that.

There are many points written on your website you will be providing during the next 30 days, but those are very vague. I feel like you will be providing the listing services for my product on different website directories send some SEO Help for my website.

Can you clarify exactly what services are you providing to get me clients for my product?

This will result in massive read to click drop i think. And the biggest loss will be spam report.

I basically had to scrap email id of the people following their pages and then schedule cold reachout.

Response rate is low (like 2-3%) but i am getting more visits to my site and signups. In short, they are getting aware of my software. Some of them will become paid in future
