- mtmail 10y agoMake it a proper sales pitch and submit it without "Ask HN" in the title.
- gk1 10y agoYou can ask about cases where companies use a smaller product or company (by building in-house or through acquisition) as an acquisition channel for the main product. Now that could be an interesting discussion with many examples. Maybe you can add an aside to that discussion mentioning your offer. What you did here is write a sales pitch with the broader question as an aside.
- pcunite 10y agoThis is actually something I did with one of my products. I was not sure how valuable it would be, so I made a smaller product, gave it away with the intention of it driving sales to my main offering. As it turned out, this loss leader was able to stand on it's own and generate revenue. That is why I'm thinking my whole business could be useful to someone with the right skills. I don't have the knack for this sort of thing.
