I did it for my personal website hosted at https://www.milanmotavar.com/.

I think it came out well.

I can think of one - BHRD from s2018 batch can be copied by someone in a different market as it will take a lot of time for them to start sales.

Can we find out something from it?
No. This is some unknown email address.
Is there anyway to recover that money?
It's not just a random spoof email. Someone was aware of the entire conversation and send a spoof email at the exact situation resulting in my loss.
Email headers of the fake email I received are below. Can anyone identify anything out it?

Ok here's the feedback:

1: Really huge font of the punchline. I will make it little smaller as my focus is not going to the scrolling text below it. 2: Message is somewhat clear. I am confused whether it is a sales product or a CRM product. 3: It says that convert subscribers into revenue. But doesn't mention "How" anywhere. You need a section of "How it works" somewhere. 4: Can I see a demo implementation somewhere?

Where are you based?

Oh god. An article on things going right is returning a 500 error. :-)
Re:Ask HN: How to come up with monetizable side project ideas? on Monday September 24, 2018 @07:14AM (#18056687)
I launched a SaaS startup called "SalezTalk" with the same exact strategy. The problem with this strategy is that it assumes that reaching to a customer is an easy thing.

One of the most difficult thing in a SaaS is reaching to a customer in a cost-effective manner. It's common nowadays to have a CAC of $100+. So paid acquisition channels would be impossible if your prices are low.

If you already have a community or a user-base, then probably you can make a few hundred dollars out of it. But if you are starting from scratch, I would rather suggest going for a big idea instead of a smaller one because your marketing efforts in both the case would be almost same.

Winfify, the company which made the successful A/B testing SaaS product Visual Website Optimizer(VWO) is bootstrapped and successful with $18 millions in revenue.

Their first submission was in 2010: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=876141

Thank you very much for the feedback.

Ask HN: As a job seeker or a recruiter, do you like video resume?

I am exploring an idea of a job portal where video resume would be a key aspect. Before I plunge into the development side of it, I want to know in general on how comfortable people are with a video resume.I have two specific questions.1: As a potential job seeker, are you comfortable creating a video resume and will you create one? 2: As a potential recruiter, will you prefer receiving a video...

I really like the website and the concept. All the best for it.

Just one feedback. The font on the pricing section is too blurred and not readable.

Yes, it is.
Corrected. Thanks for pointing that out.

HN: Who wants to be hired in a new avatar

I saw that many people submit their profile for getting jobs on the "who wants to be hired" section of Hacker News.Unfortunately searching a profile in that section is very difficult. So I am building a completely new website for people to submit their profile for a Job search.Link: https://www.jobroz.con

Hi,

In last few months, I have seen many people posting status and updates on Twitter and LinkedIn about their job search struggle.

I have been thinking very hard on how I can possibly help them find a job.

At the same time I have been using hacker news and product hunt a lot.

So I thought of building a platform which combines hacker news and producthunt like voting system but for job seekers for endorsing them to find a job.

Here's the link.

Would appreciate some feedback.

Re:5 steps to speed up your image heavy website on Wednesday August 01, 2018 @02:10AM (#17660094)
I tried it with my website. It's really a very good tool but the pricing seems a little on the higher side. For example for around 600GB of bandwidth, Cloudfront cost is around $100. But with your tool, the cost would be around $300.
