Is there a good AI plugin for Obsidian yet?
mrtsepelev · 8 days ago
While not a plugin, I've had a great experience using the free tier of Gemini CLI over my md-repository. It's rarely run out of context, unlike with code repositories, and it's super easy to feed relevant context just by mentioning files.

Guys, you need people that use landing pages all day long and have enough traffic.

Your market is huge(I know that because I was selling products for this niche), from solo internet marketers with big email lists to media buying agencies. You just need a few case studies to show them it's working.

Do you have any case studies?

mrtsepelev · 9 years ago
We had some tests setup and run (some of them were a clear success, some -- not that much). And we're currently working with one huge Russian company, but still could not publish a case yet (but surely will as soon as possible).

We know that cases are one of the most important things in this game, but the problem is that the process is very slow (like starting a campaign could take up to 2 months), so this makes everything a little bit complicated.

Can't find the documentation. Your site gives me no idea of how you actually integrate it or how it works at all. Wouldn't sign up without that information.
mrtsepelev · 9 years ago
Reasonable concern. We have a basic FAQ, but it does not say anything about integration (which is actually pretty simple and require only to add our js script). Will try to fix it.

Ok, can you share how you tried to market it?

When a product generates ROI, people will use it. Target the marketers who use leadpages, unbounce, etc, if it works, they will use it.

Register to StackThatMoney forum, the biggest private affiliate marketing forum, they work with landing pages all day long. Post your product there, I guarantee 50 sales in 2 months from there.

You need to target people with high traffic on their landers, i think the product is good(if it delivers), but you failed at sales and marketing....not on the idea.

Nobody wants your product because you are targeting the wrong people, that's my thought.

Sure. Ofk we used PH & HN and Reddit in the beginning (and many others startup platforms). Tried to reach industry bloggers (had some effect) and reporters (did not succeed here). Tried a content (which brought high quality leads, but quantity was pretty small), tried to reach some local marketing communities. Also tried to reach agencies (failed here).

Even if we received very positive feedback on product / idea and plans on integration - the process of generating hypothesis and creating different variations was pretty time-consuming and in the end people did not complete it.

Posting to StackThatMoney definitely sounds like something worth trying, and we’ll give it a shot. Thank you!

I think this is a great product. Most people may not be at the level where they are ready for this, or they may not understand this in ways that can create value for their business. I think you need to market it a little differently. This has potential.
mrtsepelev · 9 years ago
And what do you mean by "market it a little differently". We played with positioning/wording for a few months and while it affects our registration numbers, it did not help to activate users.

Maybe we did it all wrong - we tried to build a slick product, collect leads, carefully onboard them, nurture with content, optimize our funnels and so on. Perhaps we should just concentrate on collecting phone numbers and selling directly, but this is the thing that we tried to avoid all the time.

I have a website that generates leads. I have keywords, ads, landing page text, question wizard. How much traffic do I need to optimize for this?
mrtsepelev · 9 years ago
The scheme is simple: the more -- the better. Though, you should not be put back by the false assumption of your traffic flow being too weak -- give it a try and see how it goes.

Usually it requires about 10k unique visitors per month to start with. Concrete answer on your question hugely depends on your audience structure and number of variations.

I was disappointed that the landing page wasn't personalized as a demonstration
mrtsepelev · 9 years ago
Actually, it is. We're currently running simple personalization campaign with two versions of landing pages which has different design, messaging, etc.
