Went live on June 9th, so I'm happy with what we've achieved in less than 2 months 🚀

Yesterday I started running a Google Ads search campaign for @katlinks_

So far there have been 2 trial signups from 4 clicks. 50% conversion rate is pretty good if you ask me ⚡

#BuildinPublic #indiehackers

Today I'm going to start contacting @katlinks_ expired trial users ⚡️

I want to get feedback about their experience and see if there's a way I can provide enough value for them to consider upgrading.

Any suggestions on what I should say or ask? 🤔

#BuildinPublic confession 😨

Today I broke @katlinks_ for about 30 min

We added a feature to show the ratio between DoFollow & NoFollow backlinks

There was a bug that crashed the page 🤯

We fixed it pretty fast ⚡

Mistakes will happen. Own them, fix them and all will be good

A beautiful thing happened yesterday

A user suggested a price increase on the @katlinks_ Indie Plan

Love the idea because it will

👉 increase future sale revenue

but most importantly

⚡ improve user-perceived value

The question is, when should I do it? 🤔

#buildinpublic

I know this may seem like close to nothing for most, but it feels amazing to me 🤩

Is it worth the investment?

#BuildinPublic

5 first onboarding videos for @katlinks_ are live.

I plan on doing a full video walkthrough this weekend. Something like a pre-recorded demo.

Breaking 📰 @katlinks_ is live!

We've been working around the clock for over a month now building an SEO tool that can help non-SEO experts improve rankings and boost organic traffic.

Start your free trial: katlinks.io 🚀

Would love your feedback 🤩 #buildinpublic

Just created the youtube channel for @katlinks_

I'm now recording a couple of quick video guides for the user onboarding checklist.

Videos are not coming out perfect, but later on, I can record them again 👌

#buildinpublic

Writing the welcome email for new @katlinks_ users. I guess simple is better. Any suggestions?

#BuildinPublic

It's a little scary when you're hours away from a software launch, even if it's going to be low key.

Will people sign up? Will they like it? Will they hate it? Oh well, let's see what happens 😅😳

How do you deal with the conversations going on in your head? 🤔

#BuildinPublic

We were planning on opening @katlinks_ for early users today, but we are finishing the backlink gap feature. Should be ready to go tomorrow 🤞 #BuildinPublic

I have to admit that the whole #BuildinPublic thing is hard. What should I share?

The story? That challenges? The wins? Not everyday something interesting happens 🤔

Implementing SEO keyword rank tracker features in @katlinks_. This will be a game changer 🚀

#BuildinPublic #seo

Thinking of offering a $1 7 day trial of @katlinks_. Does anyone have any data about this approach? TIA #BuildinPublic

@robertbalazsi @arvidkahl @csaba_kissi If I'm not mistaken, the idea behind #buildinpublic is to create community and connect with people who are on the same journey as you. I believe a personal account is better for that purpose. At least that's how I do it 😁

Finishing up anchor text ratio calculations for @katlinks_. Tomorrow we will implement the entire backlink data API infrastructure.

It's starting to look less like an MVP 🚀

DM me if you want to try it before the official release 😉

#BuildinPublic

I just realized that pulling API data can get expensive really fast 😱

Trying to optimize @katlinks_ API calls to keep costs as low as possible.

Unfortunately, we need 3rd party backlink data. No way around that. #BuildinPublic
