Hello Fellow Entrepreneurs,
I made https://writeitapp.co.uk - I soft launched two years ago… What a wild journey it has been- From getting blackmailed by devs to being scammed by marketing firms. At the launch we got over 2000 organic users and over 1000 stories posted - within the first few months. After bugs + being totally scammed by a marketing company I hit the drawing board again to revamp the app. Now the app has a totally new design, faster, less bugs and has more features like the ability to listen to stories.
I may be crazy, but I genuinely believe in my product…So Im sticking with it. Recently hit a brick wall, thinking its too much of a mountain for me to climb…How do I get users on board without going completely broke? That’s the real question. The App is free so marketing is a cost with no financial kickback.
It is however a mountain I will continue to climb, yes things have gone against me but I have spent too many years of working hard to even make the app a real thing.
Would love some feedback and some advice on how to kickstart a community on the platform, and how I should go about getting real downloads going!
That’s my brick wall. How!
Thanks guys
Not getting paid, want the app to be free- Future would like to have the categories sponsored, i.e sports stories across the app will be sponsored by nike for e.g. Haven’t made a penny off the app yet. That’s a good idea start up founders!
Not trying to discourage, but be sure to get some money quickly, targeting companies like Nike is a difficult goal. I would recommend you to watch some YC videos, specially this one https://youtu.be/GMIawSAygO4?feature=shared
