Great, sounds like you found a perfect product for your use case.

OK, that makes sense. I'm sure you've thought of this, but you are inline with your lead generators terms of service by charging for your product? I'd hate to see you get in trouble since you are getting some social traction here.

To add onto this, how much manual intervention is required in creating the list and contacting them? I feel like there's a reason the competition costs so much more. Seems like, even with "AI" involved, there would be quite a bit of leg work.

Not sure why someone would do this, but even without a plugin you can go to General Settings and set New User Default Role to Author. This would give any new accounts the ability to exploit this.

I've always thought Crock Pot was a brand. It's the Kleenex of slow cookers. I call my slow cooker a crock pot even though it's made by some Target brand.

I googled it. What I found is "the belief that the tech industry isn’t diverse because of a scarcity of available talent".

I guess aren't all files "data files"? When I think data files I think of a file that contains data points (CSV, tabular, etc).

Yup, I was using chrome and was totally lost.

You pay per second of usage and the ACU starts and shuts down automatically. If your DB is only actually accessed a occasionally then you are not paying for 24hrs of usage. I think the auto-scaling is the draw though, not necessarily the price. So you are only getting charged the the database is being accessed. I think the examples on the pricing page make it a little more clear.

I think a change to the license model to make it subscription based and then the subsequent changes to the software along with a license server would have been just as effective. No need to rewrite everything and figure out the cloud related stuff. Worked for Adobe and Microsoft.

Did you mean COBOL or did he misspell it and that's why he couldn't find one?

SEO, cold email, etc. I'm sure even linkedin would be a good target for something like this since it's a pool of recruiters.

This is going to be dependent on a few factors (market, product, etc.) but I'd rather be an affiliate for a product with a proven track record of conversions unless I really love a product and just want to promote it. If I know a product already has a high conversion rate and $20k+ MRR then I feel better about the prospects of sending 20k people there and getting a hefty percentage than I would about a new product bringing in $50. Maybe my thinking is wrong though.

You're on HN though. When I used to do websites I would give options with tiered prices. Something on SquareSpace (or similar) would be a cheaper option but I would let them know why. A custom, scratch built site would be 3-4x more money so they would usually go with the cheaper option. Very few clients truly cared about the website. They just knew they needed one and didn't really care about the method used to achieve it.

What are the selling points? It's been a really, really long time since I used one but I feel like side by side work would be constrained by it.
