I’m disappointed but confortable with sharing 😊
16 sales = 16 * $2.99 = almost $48
Less Apple cut (30%) = $33.5
That's not a bad start. It shows there's interest.
Have you talked to @AndreyAzimov? He very recently launched his own menu bar app. Perhaps you can exchange ideas on how get PR and get customers.
Hi Max! I agree with you, the WIP community is very friendly and not sexist. Still, there is very few women talking on the chat. I know it can be a bit tricky to create a side group for women, but I though it could also encourage them to express themselves and might give them more confidence. I'd love to hear your ideas of how to fix this though, I'd be very happy to see more women here.
Got it. There should be a better way to organize the WIP channel in general. Right now it's hard to follow what's going on and there are only a thousand of members. Many spammy tasks, irrelevant discussions. Maybe when we discover a better way to communicate at scale, then everyone would be heard.
@marckohlbrugge do I have to cancel to switch to an annual subscription? I tried to reach you but did not get any response and I've been charged yesterday.
Edit: Thanks to the edit link I just discovered I can see I'm still on the older & lower price so I guess that's better I don't switch..?
For Le Bon Coin I don't know if I have the magic solution but here's how I proceed.
** I look for a region in particular and I filter with:
- "Locations & Gites" category
- "house" keyword in the search field (bc I prefer looking for a house if that's possible)
- price (that's up to you obviously): you only have week prices unfortunately; so I look above my price cause I negociate a monthly rate after that
- I look for words "wifi" and "internet" in the ad with a good old cmd+f
- See with photos & description if it looks nice and fit my criteria
** Then if like it, I send a message. I have a little "pitch" where I explain what I do (entrepreneur & nomad) very simply (usually I say I have a software company so people understand... People who rent on LBC often are 50-60 and don't really know what are startups and stuff). I ask if they have a good internet connection and insist by saying this is really important to work for me. And I ask for a monthly price.
** Response: first selection is made by people who don't want to rent for a month. Then if they don't offer a monthly rate I don't bother (like some people tell you: week price * 4 > no thanks). When they tell me the price and it's too high I respond something like "Thanks for your response but that's off budget for me". That's when I can have responses by people asking me my budget, and sometimes they adjust their price. If so, sign contract and that's it (then often want paper and check but I propose mail & bank transfer and they usually accept).
What's really missing: A MAP showing all the results > I can't see where the rental is, except by looking one page at a time. Low prices are often in very small cities and I don't want that but I don't have a way to filter (except setting a minimum price but that's not perfect).
As you can see that's time consuming so I'd like to automate this and also curate places that fit that nomad life with monthly rates.
I point out that I've only been doing this for 4-5 months. I always found something good and affordable for now. But I know that might not work this summer. I also plan to keep people's house who leave on vacation and don't want to leave it empty, that's free :)
I made this tuto, easy and well explained, great to start from 0: cryptozombies.io
