Thanks for all your encouragement and kind words! Currently, I'm investing a little in Google Ads — not a lot daily, but it adds up to quite a significant amount each month as a solo developer. I can see some traffic coming from there, but not many conversions so far.

As for cold DMs and emails, I was a bit reluctant to go down that path at first. As you mentioned, the success rate is very low — which matches my personal experience too. But you’re right, maybe I can look for more targeted users and try approaching them.

Once again, thanks for everything!


Thanks for your great feedback! I’ve replaced all the server- or technical-related highlights in the central highlights area with more user-friendly needs.

Regarding the free tier — I don’t have many free users at the moment. Since most competitors are offering it, I might consider dropping it when the costs for free users become more significant.

I really like your idea of reaching out to each new signup to see what can be improved. I’ll add that to my task list.

Thanks again!


Cool, glad it was helpful! Thanks for following up!


Thanks for your feedback — I really appreciate it. I agree with you that the headline and description didn’t address the needs well. I’ve already updated them right away. Do you think they’re better now?

Regarding the video, I did include the steps and some screenshots of the PDF generation process. That said, I agree it’s a bit too long, even for a tutorial. I didn’t polish it further or make it more compact earlier due to time constraints. I’ll consider creating a better one later.

Thanks again!

I appreciate your feedback regarding backlink building and free trials. I thought they were essential because most others are doing it. I guess I’ll need to re-evaluate the value of pursuing them — especially organic backlinking, since there’s no effective way to scale it up.
