11/100 testers. What 90 outreach messages taught me

60 cold emails, 29 DMs on TikTok and IG, 1 on Telegram. Result: 11 TestFlight installs, a few real users. My first real tester came from here: I tested her project, gave detailed feedback, and she tried mine back. Give first, then ask. Big creators are priced for brands: €3,500–7,000 per video, €2,000 with a discount. Small, niche creators (study, language, med and law students) reply more often. The emails that worked quoted something specific from the creator’s content. Inside the app, new users weren’t saving a first word, so build 31 asks for a reminder instead of showing Premium. Next: a small test with a financial education initiative after Oct 22.

Good morning ☀️ Buildside!

Glad to see all the new builders that have joined recently and all the new products. I’m taking this weekend easy. These past few days have been busy for me; working hard on a revamped marketing plan for Trayage, updated website for it, few new app and SaaS product ideas. My worn out. Going through spend it with family and watching some TV. Catch y’all on Monday! ✌🏼
