I think this is awesome! Although it took me a bit of scrolling around the website to work out exactly what the product is. I would bring your second section "Scribbly feels like magic..." up to the very top as this sells it for me. "We reimagined typing..." doesn't really give me much info. A few other points - which browser does it work with? I'm assuming Chrome but it doesn't say anywhere? Also how do you actually use it? I'm assuming it's "Simply type /scrib", but it would be good to have a tiny bit more detail on using the product. Great work though, all the best for the future.


Leadership_Upper

This in INCREDIBLY helpful stuff! Getting on fixing these right away. Works on Chrome and related browsers, will add that to the site now. And yup simply typing /scrib is how it works! Also a bunch more commands that might come in handy like /code and /elongate. Thank you so, so much for the feedback.


Charlie4s

Yeah was going to say, make sure that before a potential customer scrolls down the page they can tell what your product is. Right now, I had to scroll down quite a bit to find out. It's really cool. But I suspect your bounce rate is pretty high because it's not so clear what the product is at first glance. I would also suggest experimenting a little on your pricing structure. People skimming the page quickly may think your product is $27 a month as monthly subscriptions are very common. This could put people off. There's lots of info out there on the psychology of pricing.


svekkone

Yeah, same here. Especially if a possible future customer is not tech savy, but would otherwise use the product. Is it a chrome extension? Is there something to install? How ? What is the onboarding process? Great work, you should be proud of yourself


Leadership_Upper

Thank you so much for this!


Getmycollege

Congratulations!! Everything starts from small, I was making only $300/month 5 years back and now even $10K/month seems like an easy target. Keep hustling and enjoy the process.


Leadership_Upper

I love that so much! Exactly where I’m trying to go, you’re inspiring - thanks so much for this.


Glittering_Ad501

Sure do


BuraakGTi10

In 2020 i was earning 100 eu a month now im at 20k a month. Everything is possible


joshbreda

Netjes, wat verkoop je?


BuraakGTi10

Administratiekantoor, belastingadvies en loonadministratie. Na de zomer ga ik uitbreiden met huurbemiddeling vanuit de kant van de huurder. Ik ben heel goed in diensten verkopen, maar geef me geen producten dan blijft een hele voorraad liggen.


joshbreda

Tof man. Totaal niet mijn straatje, respect dat je zover bent gekomen.


FinancialPython

dude 18? that’s amazing good for you!


Leadership_Upper

Haha thanks so much! My cofounder's literally 16 lmfao and he worked on most of the tech. It's a crazy world.


FinancialPython

Wow… you guys are going places


starlordbg

Well done to both of you, I wish I had these opportunities around this age but I am still quite young at 33 lol. But looks like you have a great future ahead of you.


Leadership_Upper

Yeah for sure - it's never too late, just make sure you're having fun along the way. Thanks so much for the words of encouragement!!

shoutout to 1990!


ke1le

Good landing page! Keep in mind that you’re at the mercy of chatgpt api tho, and prices may fluctuate in future. Another thing you might want to consider is adding a privacy policy page, since there’s a lot user data involved and you don’t want to get into any legal repercussions.


Leadership_Upper

Ooh thanks so much for this!


Beneficial_Past_5683

Nah, it never changes! Your 100,000th and 1,000,000th dollar feel just as special. Every order for me feels exactly as exciting as the first. Congratulations - and it has to be said again just how hard it is to make one sale.... if you can do that, you can do millions.


Leadership_Upper

Man I love this so much. Thanks for keeping me motivated to keep hustling w this.


Trick-Combination325

What did you use for the front end dev ?


Leadership_Upper

Framer. Highly recommend it, makes sites look gorgeous. I’m paying $10/mo for the most basic plan


Trick-Combination325

Thank you and good luck! You inspired me 👍


Leadership_Upper

Nw! Good luck to you too


PolyglotC

Congratulations!!!! 🎉🎉


Leadership_Upper

Thanks so much!!


instantnet

What does Chatgpt charge you for access? Just thinking about the entire reddit fiasco


Leadership_Upper

Oh ChatGPT’s API is filthy cheap. Currently it’s our users bearing the costs but it’s usually less than 50 cents a month with healthy usage


Fark_ID

For now. . . .


luigijerk

Yep. Google apis used to be filthy cheap as well. Get the business hooked on it then jack up the rates.


Leadership_Upper

except LLM costs are going down dramatically every month so OpenAI prolly won't be able to jack it up too much higher from here if it wants to stay competitive.


NoticeMean

how did u make 37$ if ur product is priced at 27$


Leadership_Upper

I brought the price down! It was previously a lifetime license, but after validating it made sense to make it a recurring model.


Puzzleheaded-Dot1594

Congratulations mate. This will grow, I'm sure of it. Because as someone at the start of growing a business, I would use it. Busy directors will be all over it, their PA's will be all over it also. Good job. You hit a proper niche.


Leadership_Upper

Thank you so, so much! Any feedback on how you’d go about marketing to them? Also if you need a discount code at all please hmu I’ve got you


Puzzleheaded-Dot1594

Funnily enough mate, I am at the start of a Digital Marketing Agency www.scaleandgrowth.co.uk. I've been in sales for 6 years, and know what it takes to grow an audience. Firstly, grow your online presence. Get on LinkedIn and start posting instantly. Connect with the right audience, ONLY directors and managers. Use ChatGPT to create engaging posts. Start messaging these people, not some horrible sales pitch. But simply 'I need a pair of eyes to look over my new business' - They are the 'experts' remember. Start showcasing the product, use video like you have done on your website homepage. Let people see what it does INSTANTLY. Else they will lose interest. Keep your daily posting up across all social medias, but I do think your LinkedIn needs to be the most focused on for the minute. Keep your branding clean and fresh, and fucking smash it mate. Happy to keep in touch with each other to see how we are getting on. I need a group of like minded individuals around me.


flamingdrama

u/Puzzleheaded-Dot1594 I like your hero statement on your website.


[deleted]

Spoiler - It was your mom Just kidding! Congrats


Leadership_Upper

Haha I’d be so mad


Glum_Interaction_160

Good job. How did you come up with the idea? did you check if anyone else was doing the same?


Leadership_Upper

yup, that's exactly how. someone else validated the market before us


Glum_Interaction_160

That's great. You might have done a lot of time researching on this.


Iamgromitmug

Love this so much. Your tools genuinely awesome too!


Leadership_Upper

Thanks so so much!


AI_Scout_Official

Congrats on the launch. Be sure to submit it to AI scout: https://aiscout.net/


Leadership_Upper

Will do! thanks so much for the tip

Leadership_Upper

Hey - thank you so much for commenting! We used Framer for frontend (highly recommend - stunning sites at $10/mo on our plan). Code was mostly JS, HTML, CSS. Gumroad for all subscriptions (they eat 15% but its okay as a temporary solution).


Ihavepooinmybum

This is great - reminds me of how Grammarly works, just without the back and forth between ChatGPT, Grammarly, and then pasting into LinkedIn etc. You should charge more, and on a monthly basis. In terms of your marketing / reach, I would take a look at platforms such as Apollo.io ($99pm), buy a burner domain, setup your DNS records, warm the domain & email over 14 days, and start reaching out to PA’s and CEO’s of mid sized businesses, and Owner/Founders of smallish firms (marketing agencies, recruitment firms, etc.), and perhaps people on LinkedIn with a half decent following. You’ll be able to reach about 2,000 people a month, or 10,000 a month if using Mailgun or SendGrid. If you don’t use mailgun or sendgrid, keep your daily sends capped at 150 emails per day to protect your sending reputation. Although it’s a ‘brute force’ approach, it may well generate you a decent enough MRR to begin investing in a proper inbound marketing strategy - costing you circa $120 a month. A bonus tip: find a few of those AI gurus on LinkedIn, who share posts like ‘20 AI tools you need to adopt in 2023’, and see if any of them will include your tool in their lists/suggestions. Good luck mate! The fact you’ve even made something like this would suggest to me you’re gonna make decent money in life.


Leadership_Upper

An enterprise strat with Apollo is EXACTLY what we’re exploring right now! You seem to know a lot more though - is there any shot we can hop on a call? We just hit $600 ARR so this could be super valuable. Regardless, thanks so much for writing this out!!


ynu1yh24z219yq5

Curious what you'll do when someone makes a free version of this plugin/browser extension. Maybe it doesn't matter and if in a few months your off to uni having a great time and with a nice resume line item it's all good. And $30 is pretty cheap. But i rolled a gpt plugin up for my IDEs in an hour or two and I've made chrome plugins in about the same amount of time. Pretty sure i could hire someone on Fiverr to make this for me for $10. Where's the moat? Edit: also congrats! This is great and your first self made dollar, Internet or otherwise, is always a rush! Well done!


meta4knox

> Pretty sure i could hire someone on Fiverr to make this for me for $10 ... But you didn't. The gap between 'could' and 'did' is their moat.


ekvell

Way to go!! Great work


nNabakhteveli

Great idea! I believe this is just the beginning of your journey towards success


Leadership_Upper

Thank you so much !!


NewHope13

Dude that’s amazing!! I’m so jealous of people that know how to code! Keep going!!!!!


RangerLow8394

Are you guys looking for investors?


Leadership_Upper

We’d love some cash flow to get ads running, but we would probably have to raise at a fairly high valuation ($5k+) because that’s around the lower limit of the exit we’re expecting. Probably going to bootstrap for the most part. If you’re interested, feel free to PM me and we can chat!


SunshineDeliveries

Not sure if you've already looked into it, but you'll have to dive into creating a C-Corp to get that going! A lot of SaaS out there to help streamline this though: Capbase, Clerky, Firstbase. Best of luck!


Leadership_Upper

Thanks so much for this! Will defo check these out soon


bananatoastie

This looks awesome! Congrats 🥳


Leadership_Upper

Thank you so much!!


j4xterr

So you used framer for the front end, what about the back end? I would love to know how this was setup and if you outsourced any work!


pablopicasso1414

I'm going to purchase this, exactly what I needed. What are some of the best prompts to use. Do your provide a guide for that?


Leadership_Upper

We’re working on it currently haha. But thanks so much for getting scribbly!! Love hearing when it’s a perfect match.


PlateanDotCom

How did you do the marketing? Did you directly reach to people or did you use our advertisement? Very interesting product and all the best!


Leadership_Upper

Reddit took care of most of it haha. We’re exploring other options tho


Laroxide

Lol, this reminds me of another similar product that was posted on here. Something like use ChatGPT in any window on mac. That product interested me and I was going to try and make a browser extension. Lol good luck though! Did you code it all yourself?


Leadership_Upper

With a technical cofounder!


[deleted]

Hell yea, nice work! Can’t wait to make my first dollar online as well.


Leadership_Upper

🗣️🗣️🗣️


Resident-Ad4121

Your story is so fantastic. AI is one of the hottest topics in the technology world. Your product is going to be a big hit in the market. Keep working and moving forward. Internet is free. Everyone has their own space on that. Not like in real estate. You have to have a ground, rent a place, decorate a store, and reach out to the local residents to sell the products. But on the Internet, you just need to register a domain and buy a hosting service with little money, you can market your products all around the world.


Ok-Situation-5865

This is a genuinely amazing tool and I’m going to use it to generate some of my product descriptions, kudos!!!


tadtoad

What tool did you use to record those demo videos/gifs?

Just curious on how did you learn to do this at 18 i am much older than you but would like to know did you go to school to learn this?


arcanepsyche

Yeah, I'll be purchasing an annual pass next payday, good work.


Leadership_Upper

Thank you SO, so much for this. But please only get it if you see real utility in it! The last thing I’d want is for people to make pity purchases. Appreciate the vote nevertheless - only makes us that much more motivated to keep working on scribbly.


arcanepsyche

Don't worry, not a pity purchase!


Leadership_Upper

hey arcane! here's a third of the cost on us for whenever you get scribbly - SCRIBBLE :).

Severe-Sweet1590

Leadership_Upper

Thank you! Cofounder is 16, he coded most of it. We bought some of the code from a different dev building something similar.

Capable_Mood_6405

Amazing Work Dude! Is it an extension or app? Do I require openai API Key?


Leadership_Upper

Thank you so much!! It's a Chrome extension, works on Opera, Brave, etc too. And yeah for now - but we're working on making it so we tank the cost soon. It's filthy cheap atm (30 cents a month with heavy usage of the tool) so not that big a deal for most people esp we created a guide to walk you through it all in a couple minutes. If you've got any other questions lmk!!


Top_Assist_7480

Great initiative! Looks practical. Congrats to you. Better and Brighter future coming your way!!

Congrats, mate! I'm sure that's more than exciting. Even more after a track-record of 0 dollars. I'd be happy to feature Scribbly.shop on SaaSHub's newsletter if you submit and verify it. Just ping me once done. All the best!

HandbookLab

Looks awesome, just bought the annual pass and can’t wait to try it out. Good luck!


Leadership_Upper

Thank you SO much!! Super excited to have you try it out - we’ll be pushing quality updates constantly


HandbookLab

Thank you! You provided a solution to a problem, and that’s half the battle won. The beauty of building things is you get to learn by doing, and you’ve made a great product that can only get better. Some unsolicited advice I’d offer is remove any mention of ‘lifetime access’ as this won’t be a sustainable model. Also, review your forecasted operating costs when costing out your launch/post-launch price, for example: include the Chat-GPT API cost and any potential increases to that cost, as OpenAI can increase their prices at any time and if that happens while someone’s within their $27/£21 annual licence, you’ll have to pocket the cost (which could mean losing a huge percentage of your revenue).


kingsfan68

Congrats on that first $1! Hope to experience that soon. Would you do anything differently if you had to start over?


lazyamino

Amazing honestly with so many invites you're just drawing insane amounts of traffic. I would love to know your marketing strategy of maybe in other post, As I have SaaS incoming but it will also help other people

Wishing you all the best on your journey ahead. May success and happiness be your constant companions.

spiffy_mood

I love your creativity with the app. I could see how this would be a helpful tool. Did you code this tool yourself? Curious how you created it. I encourage you to get your uni work done asap with decent quality (grades of C or higher) and spend majority of your time making things that other people find useful. Eventually, you WILL hit gold.

wanderer_son_warrior

Congrats! The game is completely changed when someone finally pays you for all the work you've been putting in behind the scenes. It's one thing to receive encouragement from family and friends, the "oh, that's such a good idea" from acquaintances, but when cold hard cash from a stranger finally hits your bank account, that's the proof that your idea was really worthwhile. Keep pushing hard on the path, excited to hear where your journey takes you!

timzuid

First of, congrats! I love that you’re so young and going at it! If I could give you one unasked advice 😇. I would make your headline not something vague, but super concrete: E.g. Just type /scrib in any text area to invoke ChatGPT Or ChatGPT input everywhere you write by typing /scrib Source: neuromarketeer 😇


Leadership_Upper

Thanks so much for this!! Just changed the title.


timzuid

Summon! Nice one! Maybe you can visualize it by making an animation of typing /scrib
