Experience? What was it like?

As a SaaS it will be in the roadmap when we cross the 100 users thresholds

@dzaitzow Not sure, gonna shoot for PH launch first week of Feb. and see how it goes. Maybe a month later? Like everyone, we're just figuring it out as we go?? What are you guys doing?

Daniel Zaitzow · Answer

I haven't but I think we will eventually - let me know if you get any feedback.

Reid C · Answer

@dzaitzow Yeah, thinking about launching there first since they have a built in audience or launch here first and then leverage that into appsumo launch?? What do you think

Reid C · Answer

@dzaitzow After getting feedback like yours, and talking with our team too, we're gonna launch on PH first and get some feedback then go for the bigger one on Appsumo

@jgani We've got a subscription based sales enablement tool. We're thinking of doing a lifetime discount for the annual contract amounts. What is yours like?

Reid C · Answer

@mho22 After getting some feedback here I think we're going to launch first on PH and then use the feedback to prep for the Appsumo one

Rayan Zeggari · Answer

@reid_c Yes from the little research made so far I think it depends on the business model and the plans you're offering. When the pricing strategy is on point Product Hunt seems to be best to launch your product and once you get to 100+ users you get on AppSumo for large exposure

@reid_c Let me know how it goes!

Daniel Zaitzow · Answer

@reid_c I'll be doing - our beta community / mailing list first, Product Hunt second, and AppSumo / Affiliate Ecosystems third .. so on so forth.. But I think if you're earlier in your PH days - it likely makes sense to spend some time in this community building connections before launching - theres still a risk the launches fall flat but it's lower risk if you're really putting in the time on PH.

Not very familiar with Appsumo. Seeing a lot of life time deals there. For certain products having to provide support and pay for infrastructure indefinitely would be terrible for the maker.

What kind of pricing deal are you guys submitting there?

Daniel Zaitzow · Answer

@reid_c Love that - any idea how far apart you're going to space them out?

Reid C · Answer

@rayan_zeggari Want to work out the kinks before launching on Appsumo?

Daniel Zaitzow · Answer

@reid_c I think we'll roll out at some point next week. Was planning for today but we had to get a bunch of dev stuff flushed out.

Also figuring it out as we go.
