Is Kick owned by, affiliated with, or invested in by Bench in any way?

Also are any of the C-Level execs from Bench involved in Kick in any way?

Kick is not affiliated with Bench in any way. We've onboarded a significant number of customers from Bench onto Kick before this happened, so this may have been why were were mentioned.

We're working fast right now to try to provide resources and help Bench users migrate and will be sharing updates here: https://x.co/kickfinance

The fact that they are recommending Kick makes me view that company with suspicion. This whole thing is really leaving a bad taste in my mouth.

I can’t imagine the frustration you’re going through if you’re a Bench user.

Paying for a service and not getting what you expect, especially when it comes to your taxes is no joke.

Instead of having to start from scratch, our team at Kick is moved quickly to build these resources to help prior Bench customers:

1. Free Bench migration

2. Free 2024 Bookkeeping review calls

3. Free Daily Live Q&As (coming soon)

We’re moving fast and sharing additional resources and updates in real time here:

- https://kick.co/bench

- https://x.com/kickfinance

Other resources on the way include a Tax Extension Guide and Accountant Directory to make sure folks get a soft landing is this difficult time.

If you're running into issues, my email me at conrad@kick.co and I’ll do the best I can to route you to the right place.

Hey all, a lot of people I speak with imagine a "launch" as a single email you send to your audience. The effect of this is quite suboptimal–it doesn't build anticipation or give you data about what's resonating.

We recently went through 100's of online course launch email sequences and pulled the best types in one place (I've seen data on hundreds in the past year). I'd argue a similar set of emails could apply to any online product you're launching. That said let me know what you think here.

Except yours isn't free.

Your "free" tier costs $1 + 10% per transaction, which is ridiculously expensive. Even Paypal doesn't rip me off that bad.

We actually drop the transaction fee once you're actually making money. Check it out: usefedora.com/pricing.

To your point, if there's a free tier with a transaction fee, doesn't that mean it's totally free to use? We handle all the hosting for you, so it's a little misleading to call this system free.

With Fedora, we make money when you do - which is an amazing alignment of incentives if you ask me. This really helps people who are just starting out and want to use a robust product. Right now folks using Fedora teach near 400,000 students in any language you can imagine.

Disclaimer, I Co-Founded Fedora and you have any questions, feel free to reach out conrad@usefedora.com.
