Hi folks, would love to get your thoughts on our tool rebuilt from scratch and just re-launched. Was completely no-code when we launched the MVP last year and got to 30k/mo.
Please report bugs by submitting a support ticket too. I know it's not perfect right now, but I'm obsessed with cleaning the code up whenever something gets reported.
Keen on seeing if people can use it for things beyond sales outreach, like emailing hiring managers for job applications or finding donors for non-profits.
Since each email looks handwritten instead the same "Hi {first name} I see you're {title} at {company}" email campaigns, the reply rate is actually as high as 20% instead of the usual <1%. Still sitting on 100% inbox reputation at the moment.
Warming up your inbox (we use Warmbox) makes a huge difference.
Getting your DMARC and SPF records setup also makes a huge difference with the new requirements from Google and Outlook, as well as not including attachments or ads.
Very skeptical of things like this generally but that does make me appreciate the concept a lot more. The issue with glorified spamming, the pain point I care about as a sender (specifically in marketing) is the low open and response rate. Not just for deliverability > spam punishments, but for the recipient's experience.
That's the USP I care about the most - am I annoying anyone? If not, then yes I'd be interested in the laundry list of features I'd expect as a given from such a tool - ease of use, integrations, value. To be fair I'm not even interested in volume, email marketing has been adjusting to quality over quantity since GDPR/CCPA.
The feedback from your site would revolve around that for me - focus on those pain points of mass emailers, not the raw specs of your product. Even the name 'Hyperscale' is a red flag for me.
'Verified business contact details instead of personal Gmail or Hotmail' that's a great USP too.
It's a bit of effort to go to each place, but it does drive a good set of initial users. Some of it becomes evergreen, but most of it (e.g. Slack channel post to a niche group) gets lost within a few days.
The following is not intended to be an ad, but I created a series of scripts that essentially created a large repository of AI-generated blogs/articles related to each one of my products and published them to a CMS. On average, these alone drive between 100-1000 organic clicks per day.
Then I turned this script into a product that less-technical founders/SMEs can use for their own website: https://www.typeup.ai/ It's not a product that makes me rich, but helps keep the lights on.
You can also build this yourself with clever daisy-chaining of code/no-code solutions as long as you're comfortable with API calls, prompting, and scripting.
OpenAI is a good start for generating blogs, but I recommend experimenting with the other models as well as the open source ones to get the right writing style and output that best fits your CMS.
Despite search engines saying they'll de-rank AI generated content, it has not impacted traffic at all. Probably too large scale of a problem to handle for the time being.
This is a really great resource thank you! Honestly time to value is extremely efficient with you site so also definitely something we will explore thank you for sharing.
Bay Are is better for money, progression, network, capital, and all things related to big tech and startups.
It also gets boring. Everything is now way more expensive. Disposable income gets consumed way faster now than before. There's not much diversity compared to other metropolitan areas that American expats have moved to.
Make filthy money there first, then live the life you want elsewhere.
Completely agree. Moved from Cupertino about 8 years ago to central London. The pace, work ethic, ambition/drive is in a completely different league despite London being the best option in this part of the world.
Nevertheless, it's safer and more diverse here. The people you meet seem to have more interesting conversations in general.
Being poorer also keeps us humble. "Hungry dogs run faster"
