How I get customers for $0 with Product Hunt
I launched 20+ startups on Product Hunt.
At first, no one would notice... But I kept repeating and learning.
In 2 years, I drove 100,000+ visitors to my websites thanks to Product Hunt. I earned 14 product badges and got the Maker of the Year 2023 Award.
Here's how to use Product Hunt to grow your SaaS, AI tool, or any digital product.

The EASY way to set recurring payments (Stripe subscriptions)
Переглядів 18 тис.14 днів тому
🧑‍💻 ALL the code: github.com/marclou/stripe-sub Stripe subscriptions are a pain (API, webhook, lifecycle...). But there's an easy way. And it requires a few dozen lines of code! We'll build a monthly/yearly pricing table for a SaaS, and let customers subscribe and handle their subscriptions.

    I understand the logic behind mistake #1 about the free plan, but the example of free vs paid didn't add up for me. Am I wrong ? or am I missing something ? or perhaps just nit picky. Free plan vs 10$/month plan example: Core variables: New visitors per month: 10,000 Conversion rate to paid plan: 3% The example: 1st month: 10,000 * 3% = 3,000$ 2nd month: 10,000 * 3% = 3,000$ + 3,000$ (from existing users) = 6,000$ 3nd month: 10,000 * 3% = 3,000$ + 6,000$ (from existing users) = 9,000$ etc... (And of course I'm leaving out people that cancel and maintenance cost out of the example)

    Real question: is it possible to launch a successfull product if you dont use twitter, are not part of some online community, don't have an audience these days? I like building stuff but really hate social media and having to grow an "online presence"...

    No hate but the fact that your product that sells the most is the product that teaches you how to sell... lol. You're no different from course gurus, making more money selling courses than actually selling products. Again no hate but that tells me all I need to know.
