AI Social Media Automation for Print-On-Demand Businesses
wanted to give this version to someone to test, besides me
sent emails to 70-80 people on waitlist - 0 responses
generated some buzz and traffic on Facebook and reddit
got my first user and gathered valuable feedback from others
I'm doing another round of improvements, but the todo list is getting big. Put a voting system, with canny.io where users can vote on features.
waitlist wasn't doing well and I thought it was not enough to communicate value proposition properly
so I started building an MVP
used opensaas.sh and DSL (wasp-lang.dev) to speed things up
underestimated the effort and had a lot of scope creep
What was supposed to take one month, was only 30% complete three months in.😤 But at least I had a tool that automated 100% of what I was doing for my stores manually, saving me hours every week. 🥳
created a make.com automation that replicates my manual flow
became semi-manual, as I still had to copy-paste links for each product and adjust the prompt a bit
tried ads again and failed spectacularly - got banned on google ads for "circumventing systems", no idea why 🤷♂️
but now I was running the flow manually every day
Even though time per post was reduced from 30 to 5 minutes, I had to baby sit it and do a lot of copy pasting. Made a mistake of not promoting this or trying to offer it as a done-for-you service for potential customers. 😑
built a landing page with unicornplatform.com, explaining the idea
drafted screens with AntDesign components in Figma and added to the landing page
connected to seobotai.com to generate blog articles on autopilot
collected about 60 emails by running ads for a few days
its continued collecting emails, but organically
I'm still posting manually by this point and it is generating traffic, which was my only goal for the stores at this point. 🥳
