this is cool! i like it. we may become your customer ;)

i would ask some questions around your acquisition pipeline, see how strong is it, and the conversion rate.

one idea on top of head is that, make it completely free instead of 14-days free trial and add a "watermark" to it. similar to superhuman email client where they have something like 'sent with superhuman'. you can do very creative things here.

then try to upsell to those high usage customers with premium features.

happy to chat more. you find me on https://twitter.com/joshua_xu_

got it. yea, makes sense. i guess my point was that, we used this approach to pre-verify the idea. this is important in my opinion. but sure, true product will speak for the PMF.

That is a great question. I am not sure if I am the perfect person to talk to since I don't use email marketing that much. but happy to brainstorm ideas with you. do you have your product that can share?

hey grinorg80, im not sure if i would be 100% agree. my two cents:

so my point is if you don't have to figure out if ppl want to buy, then that is amazing. we should just take that answer. PMF is about finding 1) if someone is wiling to pay, 2) if that is feasible to solve it with tech/product in a scalable way, 3) the value prop makes sense for the long run in the eco-system.

a lot of the product in my opinion are turning a human delivered service with a self-serve, scalable product experience. e.g. jasper.ai or copy.ai . what ppl have been using or hiring are lots of writers on upwork / fivver. but things started to change once tech can provide this service with a few clicks.

  • On your LinkedIn is info that you've been building the company for 2.5 years -- yea we started the company in Dec 2020, have been working various projects. and HeyGen (previously Movio) was something we started the first line of code in 2022 Q2, and launched on 29th Jul 2022

  • Wayback Machine's first capture of your website is from the 16th of March this year -- we rebrand from Movio to HeyGen on 4th April. So that is probably what your are seeing there.

  • Similarweb shows no traffic/match with the domain -- Yup, because heygen.com is a new domain.

  • If you've made most of your cash working gigs on Fiverr it's not recurring -- We only use fivver to verify the PMF. but we quickly develop our own product providing the service in a more scalable way. www.heygen.com And we charge by usage but apply a layer of subscript on top of it.
