I Built a Database in 2 Hours that Made me $10,385

I created a database to help startups launch their product and spread the word on their launch day.

The database is; 500+ Places to promote your startup

Link: datanerd.gumroad.com/l/jbpoy/

I offered them an upsell where I submit to all these places on their behalf since most founders and busy and don’t have time to submit themselves.

My upsell: https://datanerd.gumroad.com/l/wwylp?layout=profile

    FYI - The link on the page after the sentence "I will manually submit your startup to over 100 directorie" is broken

    147 downloads * 165 ratings = $24,255

    I thought Gumroad only allow to rate if you make a purchase.

    Are you also getting paid for the Featured Resources?

      You can give yourself a 100% discount code, use it on another account and upvote the poop out of your own product. I don't know if the 100% discount code still counts as a 'download'.

      I don't use Gumroad. But it would make sense that a product has more downloads than rating I would say.

    Great idea for a service Kate!

    Would a startup that's in the ideation phase, or mockup phase get value out of this service? Or do you think it's best to wait until you reach MVP?

    That's a great idea

    Good stuff! As the list grows do you still automatically submit?

    Hi Kate, this is really cool thanks for sharing. Might look into this down the line.

  6. 1

    Great idea! A lot of these places require accounts though e.g.Product Hunt Do you just use your own or ask for the users?

    Definitely giving this a thought as well.
