It looks like Denis is actually supporting russian government and their lies about this war - https://twitter.com/roman01la/status/1625254253156528147 . He literally spreads russian propaganda points and blames Ukraine for being attacked.
If your ID has your address printed on it, then you are lucky and can just take a photo of the ID and yourself holding the ID. If you don't, then you need to go to a notary and sign a special form provided by Sectigo.
Sectigo doesn't even need to call you anymore, as it was about 5-10 years ago.
The downside of the OV certificate is that Windows Defender will show a blue pop-up saying that your app might put the user's PC at risk. Good thing is that it will eventually go away after some time. For my app it took about a year.
I was lucky to get featured in a blog post by a french blogger, who was subscribed to the betalist and noticed my app.
(What is also cool with niche audience, is that they are usually more eager to adopt your product in the early stage and give you feedback, which is great if you are only starting and need some solid feedback from couple people but not from hundreds)
From my experience, you should first understand your audience, who they are and then find places where they hang out.
Find groups on Reddit, LinkedIn and Facebook and post about your product.
Another thing you could try is services like Betalist. For my last project it worked pretty well: i spent 120 EUR on paid promotion and got around 250 signups. I can't say that they were all relevant to my product, but around 30% signed up for the app and used it at least ones.
What is the point of releasing so many good movies on HBO Max if it is only available is US?
Wouldn't it make more sense to first introduce it in more countries and then use these movies to incentivise more subscriptions?
I approach this question slightly differently, and I guess this only works while your product is small enough. I develop and sell a desktop app and I try to build as much relationship with my users as possible, and then ask them for feedback.
- I have installed a chat popup on my landing page and I always try to answer any question within 1 hour, and then follow up with those users afterward.
- I have a feedback portal (similar to canny). Whenever anyone leaves any kind of feedback, I write them a thank you email and try to elaborate more on the feedback they left, no matter if this is negative, positive feedback or feature request. For example, if they ask for a feature, I tell them when I plan to develop it.
- Whenever user purchases a license for my app, I also write them a thank you email, and ask for a small feedback. I try to do a short investigation on what user is doing and include some personal touch in it. Usually, 50% of such emails get an answer.
- If I see some bug report coming from a known user I immediately send them an email explaining why that bug has happened, how and when I'm gonna fix it.
I also keep a page in my notes called 'Followups' where I put the user's name and the reason why I should follow up with them. For example next week I'm preparing a new release of the app that has changes which I know are used heavily by a couple of users and I will reach out to them this week, give them an alpha build and ask for their feedback. Whenever I get an idea of how I can bring someone's attention to the product, I add their name to this list.
I worked on a desktop app to create step by step guides and tutorials. Perfect solution for easily creating visual documentation and use guides https://folge.me . Would love to hear any feedback!
