Taishi 🇯🇵🇨🇦 · From Japan to the world: Building a profitable product

I keep updating Penelope AI!

Penelope AI is a markdown editor with AI power. I made it for n&w s2.

I launched a new feature of Penelope AI - Chat with YouTube videos.

Users can chat with YouTube videos just like they do with ChatGPT.

Then I sent an email to 15k users.

The results are below.

  • Open rate: 16%

  • Click rate 1.0%

  • Unsubscribe rate: 2.65%

The click rate is almost dead.

Only one user who uses Penelope a lot tried this new feature :/

Maybe ppl don’t want this feature, but it’s really difficult to get reply back from them to hear their opinion/thoughts before building.

I’m gonna add features those are already validated in the market.

Good news…?!

The traffic grew from 1.5k to 1.7k! Noice. I think email blast helped a lot.

after almost a year since I launched Penelope, I finally got one! lol

This is something inevitable when you try to make money on the Internet.

So what should I do? just accept and refund…?

Obv there are good and bad side for things.

I tend to pay attention to a bad side, which could be a good habit but most of the time it eats my mental.

I started to work on Penelope again since November, adding new feature, sending emails, etc, then I got more churns and my first dispute.

I was like fuck me.

But I could also view this same situation this way.
“I still have X people paying for my product!”.

In this way my mental is fine and I can keep working on it at least.

The channel “Help me” is my fav lately. Supa chill and I love their dark ambient vibes.

Now you know I love ambient music (also I love dubstep lol).

I started to make ambient cinematic reel videos these days.

If you are interested :D
