@elena_opreag I am happy to join. We can discuss how to do it. I can also moderate it and technically set it up.
Launching soon!
@elena_opreag, you are right, it's YES. You have to approach it the right way and you have to be careful how things evolve from that. It can backfire, but it can also help you find product-market fit. One more thing, money is not the right reason to do it. But we can discuss more about it, maybe you can host a webinar and invite a panel of people willing to share their stories. 🤩
@savian_boroanca That sounds interesting! Do you will to share your experiences in such panel?
Launching soon!
@savian_boroanca I love the idea with the webinar! let's do it. @sajad_k would you join?
@elena_opreag wow 2m is crazy!
What are your thoughts? Anyone with experience ?
I have tried, I didn't get a single sign up from there - so No for me
@shabb_katoch Hi Shabnam!
What was/is your product ?
YES - if it's the right fit for your product. Timing + deal structure are key. Make sure your onboarding is super smooth to handle the flood of new users. Provide awesome support to turn them into long-term fans. Appsumo can jumpstart your growth but you gotta retain those users!
@jessicalaurendavis What would make the users to upgrade? Excluding new features from their package ?
YES, Appsumo can be great for launching, but timing is key. I launched my SaaS app there and did over $500k in sales, but I waited until I had strong initial traction and social proof. Definitely consider it once your product is solid and you're ready to scale, but probably not for a MVP. Make sure your product and support are ready for an influx of users.
YES - AppSumo can be a great channel, but timing is key. I launched on AppSumo last year and did over $1M in revenue. Happy to share more tips if anyone's interested!
@emilyrosejohnson super interesting. We may make a webinar. Would you like to join ? And I would love to hear more about your experience and strategies.
