I launched Afforai on AppSumo last week! And we got selected as #1 Hottest Deal of the Week! A big thank you to Sumo-lings for supporting us. As founders, we have been diligently preparing for this opportunity for the past two months, enduring late nights, sacrificing personal time, and facing the challenges and stress that come with it. However, all of these efforts have proven to be worthwhile in light of the traction we're getting now.

Congratulations! What do you think helped you the most with bringing people's attention to Afforai? Did you find ProductHunt helpful?
Alec Nguyen
@davol Thanks Daniel, Product Hunt definitely helped. We launched on PH before launching on AppSumo. Because feedback from PH helped us prepare a lot.

Hi! Can you give some tips on how you launched on app sumo?
Alec Nguyen
@mihai_puiu Of course, my best tip is be customer obsessed. Literally replying to everyone and take care of your users.
Mihai Puiu
@alec_afforai thank you for the answer! One more question: do you have any metrics to know when you have your proper community in order to launch? Like that perfect moment, not too early, not too late!
Sandra Djajic
Amazing result, congratulations!! What do you think were the main reasons behind this success?
Alec Nguyen
@sandradjajic I think the biggest thing is showing that we care, the founders directly engaging with customers send a really good message.

Congratulations! what was the turning point that gave you #1 Hotest Deal of the Week!?
Alec Nguyen
@erick_philbert I think being customer obbsessed? I replied to everyone, 100%.
Anton Gera
that's insane, congrats!!! Can you share details - were you doing any marketing promo for AppSumo listing?
Anton Gera
@alec_afforai that is great. Was it a campaign run by AppSumo, where they get a bigger cut and promote everywhere or was your product listed at the marketplace on a moderate cut to AppSumo favor? If you don't mind me asking.

hahah, saw this on AppSumo a bit ago. Link for anyone else curious - https://appsumo.com/products/aff... As a super heavy AppSumo user, awesome to see this there. When I saw it, I was like "dang that's niche", then "Wow, that's a bunch of solid reviews" haha :) Congrats!!! Love to see this approach.
