If it were me, I'd just setup a PPC campaign in Google Ads and not worry about it anymore.

I'd imagine your brand name carries a low CPC, so the cost to ensure potential clients find you would be pretty low.

Use [exact match] keywords, campaign goal of clicks, and a pretty basic/clean ad with some sitelinks.

Worst case, you're really visible and it adds some authority to relevant serps.

Congrats on the launch!

I am wondering about your pricing and how you imagine your tool being used with so few requests... I might manually use 150 GPT4 requests in a day... but your $97/mo plan includes 150/mo?

I think we need pasture... some interesting perspectives in this piece. I think we should probably stay focused on nourishment, as a society. Not the opposite, but thank you for sharing this propaganda.

Sounds awesome!

Man, 3 days is nothing!

Give me some time to fall in love, and I'll happily pay. It seems so shortsighted, as if I'd somehow use up all the usefulness of your app in 7 days or perhaps even 30 days.

Its a tool for work, and if it can reduce my load in any significant way I'd pay $500 for it. Now, I'll never really know. Too bad... for both of us.

Hrm, I use Spaces and Chrome with no problems. This isn't the case for everyone.

Everything fun in life boils down to that, eh?

I would say the act of "Pinning" an article of digital content is an act of comment. It is shorthand for "This is really interesting to me. Maybe you'll like it too?"

Just go for it. Don't worry so much about things like this. Give your project passion, that's all it needs.

In my mind, this is the same as asking if its okay to not use linen for my biz cards.. it doesn't matter.

I've worked with numerous retailers who use something like this. Usually an eMail server just makes a ping when a payment notification comes in.

During peak seasons (read: December) at an ecommerce company of mine a few years ago, we did pretty much exactly this. We used a cash register sound, though. Played it into the office and warehouse so everybody knew how fast things needed to be going. Totally worked, the faster the register went, the harder everyone worked.
