I'm learning (slowly) about the importance of marketing your product. (I am probably one of todays 10,000 around guerrilla marketing) So last night I hacked together https://purposefulpoop.com/ to see if it could drive some leads for my product. I'm going to launch the playful tool next monday and use this thread to give a plot synopsis on how it all goes.
Prior to launch though, I'm curious if anyone has any feedback that might make the hook stronger? I added (a poorly designed) OG image, so the shareable is at least somewhat tasteful:
I've been creating Press (The Internet Press), an exclusive profit sharing social network. I see a lot of posts out there advising to not "go after a billion $ unicorn" but are we really going to be stuck with Meta forever?
I want to make what people want! I intend for Press to have limited curated ads to enable profit sharing and people can buy their profile names like a .com for $14 / year and resell at any amount, any time. Posts are crafted with a WYSIWYG editor to post anything from plain text, to your flyers' wildest dreams.
I'm seeing a growing trend of B2C products actively advertising their AI features as a USP, claiming AI being the prime solution.
However, being back in my hometown for a weekend, I've heard a lot of apprehension around data privacy and a general lack of understanding "what happens in that blackbox". Nothing I hear very often back in Berlin, so demographic differences are clearly playing a big role in user receptiveness.
Transparency is crucial, no doubt. Advertising AI on platforms like producthunt or in decks for investors makes a lot of sense - that's the right audience. But are we far enough along the AI adoption curve for "AI-powered" to be a major selling point on the customer-facing side? Or are we scaring off potential users with concerns about data usage and complexity? Let's discuss!
Have you seen AI transparency hurt or help your user acquisition efforts?
