Tell HN: My startup just got its first paying customer - woohoo
Over the past few years, I've written about 60 small Facebook applications -- mostly having to do with enhancing productivity -- and recently, I gathered the 10 most useful and packaged them in a bundle:

Yesterday, I got my first paying customer.
They say the first customer is the toughest to acquire, so I'm glad I've cleared that hurdle!
Now, it's time to attract the next 999,999.

- luckyisgood 15y agoCongratulations! You must be very excited, I know I would be. I wonder, did you think about positioning your product for Facebook Page owners only? I guess you could price your product a bit higher then if you did. Or maybe you are aiming at individuals?
- bakhlawa 15y agoThat's great, congratulations. I took a look at your pricing page and you may want to consider putting the annual price in like terms, i.e. say $12/year instead of $0.99/month. When I read annual, I expect the price to be stated in that unit. Maybe you can tack on a "Pay for 6 months, get a year's worth of service if you get the annual plan" line somewhere.
- Brewer 15y agoI agree with bakhlawa on this one. Don't make your poor customers do math, they will hate you.
- Peroni 15y agoCongrats! A bit of aesthetic feedback: I'm using ie8 with a 1382 X 864 screen res and your header on your pricing page appears as follows: http://i.imgur.com/yeUCZ.png http://i.imgur.com/yeUCZ.png
- jvdmeij 15y agoGreat collection of Facebook apps! Try spreading your work, or even better good stories from people who use it, on relevant Facebook marketing blogs.
- grah4 15y agoCongrats! You have some really nice apps. Perhaps you should try charging more?
