Hi folks! Just in 8 months, we grow our Slack bot from zero to $25,000/mo. Moreover, it keeps growing like crazy. Based on our learnings we prepared a step-by-step guide on how we did that. I hope it will be useful to you. Feel free to ask me questions here.

Not a question, but some advice: you might want to add a sentence or two to that page describing what Standuply actually is or does.

thanks, I didn't want to be too pushy =)

congrats on your success! Can we see your baremetrics panel? I think for non technical founders you skipped a very important part of the story - how did you find your initial devs and how did you figure out how to work with them? how much should people set aside for this kind of thing? that really matters.

We haven't decided yet to be among Open Startups, but if you have a particular question, reach out to me at alex at standuply.com

As for developers, we have some background working in tech. So it wasn't a problem.

What's the solution to the problem of hating the Content Marketing game? I think the fear of having to deal with writing spam blogs/emails is one of the bigger mental hurdles to my eagerness to build a product like this.

Stop thinking of it as spam and start thinking of it as customer outreach?

I mean you have to let people know about this magical thing you've built somehow.

I love your story! I also have a bootstrapped Slack bot that's been growing well organically.

Question – what's been the best way to find customers aside from the Slack App Directory? And, is the Slack App Directory still your #1 driver of new customers?
