Opinion about aggregators like Betalist, Betapage a.o

[galaxybug]

As a startup founder, I am completely disappointed with rubbish aggregator services like Betalist and others, which bring absolutely no benefit in terms of traffic or brand awareness, but even dare to demand money for their zero service.

Have you ever had a positive experience with such listing sites for startups?

@galaxybug Ask me. I was the marketing head of such startup.

These startups will promise you all visibility, all sales numbers etc.

But it won't work.

AppSumo and Product Hunt are the only two places.

But AppSumo is also a bully that takes 80% revenue of yours.

All the best.

@galaxybug Felt the same, switched to direct outreach. Better results?

@galaxybug Have you tried tapping into startup community forums and events instead? Those tend to provide more value for getting your name out there.

@freyrtheslayerwolfe hmmm!! THat's a cool idea! THank you!
