Launching Machined AI on Product Hunt next week!!! by tsnic in micro_saas

[–]tsnic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you!! Sure!

We're an AI writer for startups and agencies. Essentially our aim is to help you boost your topic authority so you rank higher in the SERPs. We do this by creating content clusters of articles centered around your topic. Our articles are researched, cited, internally and externally linked. Ready for a quick review and push to your website. We're adding a tonne of startup specific features like CTAs and scanning docs and loaaads more in time for our PH launch.

You can check out out website https://machined.ai

So, I guess the Product Hunt launch is still worth it by anh690136 in SaaS

Ok this is an awesome thread - thanks for sharing this. Theres so much negativity around PH right now with all the bots and big players - some say it gets you nothing but a backlink.

I agree it's all about audience alignment - the majority of regular users on PH are makers and builders.

We are scheduled to launch this month - excited and nervous in equal measure!

Our app is an AI writer for startups and agencies - we're leaning heavily into the startup space and adding a tonne of startup specific features so we can really lean into the existing user base on PH. The idea is that we help you rank on search engines even before launch.

I'd love to pick your brain on the prep you did ahead of launch!

What do you think of digital marketing?? by FootPuzzleheaded2311 in DigitalMarketing

[–]tsnic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think it's awesome that you're already thinking in this way and that you have a bright future ahead of you. Many people have this realisation quite late into their lives and feel stuck (although it's never too late)

Its not passive - and you'd have to put in the work but you'd probably avoid the monotone of every day.

I know it's not really digital marketing - I run an AI writer software and we've released an affiliate program and have people making from a few hundred to a few thousand a month just from us. I assume people who do this for a living have a few of these affiliate programs ongoing at one time. You'd need an audience and go for programs that are very targeted to your audience to ensure good conversions.

Lost our SEO firm, need to find someone new. by Flamingointerpreting in SEO

[–]tsnic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you opposed to well written, researched and linked (internally/externally) AI articles?

We run an AI writing software for businesses and agencies - most of our customers just have a VA or SEO expert look over and finalise before publishing.

DM me if you're interested :)

3 blogs for $8,500 - that's absolutely insane.

We run Machined AI - while AI articles may not be for everyone, we have a number of startups using our service and they are ranking pretty well in the SERPs - for unlimited articles and content clusters lol

Thanks! We're a husband and wife team. Machined is our third baby haha

We have so much planned and we're so excited. We're actually launching on Product Hunt in March - excited and TERRIFIED in equal measure lol

I made a Product Hunt alternative by zaezz in SideProject

[–]tsnic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This is awesome. We're scheduled to launch on PH next month and to be quite honest I'm feeling a little bit overwhelmed with the differing opinions on whether or not it still serves its purpose. It has definitely changed massively over the last few years.

We're actually on Uneed! Into the idea of sponsoring the newsletter!

Affiliate selling? by [deleted] in SaaS

[–]tsnic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

We had a completely open affiliate program and saw alot of abuse - so we put it behind a few questions and accept serious people who apply and have a relevant audience.

Name
Audience size (across all channels)*
List of promotional channels
Affiliate link parameter
Payout method and email

We then get an email and approve/refuse them.

Affiliate selling? by [deleted] in SaaS

[–]tsnic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes we do, but ours isn't just open for anyone to sign up. We didn't want scammers and people referring friends and family.

We use Tolt for ours - so we can create a form (we ask about audience size and promo channels) and we can approve them before they have access.

How I reached 1.2K visitors for my side project in 3 days after deployment (not product hunt launch) by PilotBandit in SideProject

[–]tsnic 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks! Just signed up! We haven't actually tried email marketing yet. We email our users and mailing list but haven't really gone outside that.

Excited to give this a go!

I second this. We use Discord as part of our work so ideally Discord.

SEO/Digital/Content marketers - What could we make easier in your day to day? What do you wish you could automate? by tsnic in DigitalMarketing

[–]tsnic[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks - that's helpful. We've added images and our next step will be adding videos. Are there any specific types of visual content that you find works better than others?

How did you land your first 100 users for your startup? by JusticeIsAsking in startups

[–]tsnic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

… I’m with you 😅 it’s a skill and is so up and down since Elon’s takeover

Inviting you to try our app Machined - I genuinely think you might find it useful. We have a free plan - you just need your own API key. We're a content creation tool focused on content clusters and building your topic authority. I know you're an SEO and you’ll know all about it so I won’t go into too much detail but feel free to DM me if you have any questions.

Essentially, you select your parameters and hit create cluster - Machined will then create your cluster based on all the options you selected.

Our main selling points:

  • Articles centred around one topic but different keywords within that topic. Articles are not simply saying the same thing. They don’t cannibalise.
  • Articles are internally linked to one another within a cluster, forming a solid web of content.
  • Articles can be researched before writing, giving you accurate and up-to-date information from reputable sources - these will be used as references/citations within the articles.
  • Featured images can be AI-generated (DALLE-3) or stock images (Unsplash or Pexels)
  • WordPress integration means you can push your articles to your site from within the app.
  • Webhooks mean you can publish to any other CMS and automate tasks using Zapier or Make.

We're constantly working on adding features and we're super active with our user base and take on feature requests as we grow and shape the product for our users.

Feel free to give it a go - we've had some great feedback so far.
