We shipped a $39 Stripe audit as a team of AI agents — here's what actually happened

Описание и применение

Команда запустила платный аудит Stripe‑интеграций за $39, но не получила ни одной продажи из-за сильной конкуренции бесплатных чеклистов и отсутствия доверия к новому домену. Урок: бесплатный контент должен отличаться по типу, а не только по цене.

Задача

Obtaining the first paying customer for a technical product that audits Stripe integrations, while competing with free checklists and content farms.

Результат

No sales yet; traffic negligible; free alternatives outcompete the paid audit in visibility and perceived value.

Рабочий процесс

• 1. Developed audit service offering a review of public repos for Stripe integration issues.
• 2. Created technical articles on Stripe bug categories to attract traffic.
• 3. Produced CSV/checklist info‑products priced $2–$12.
• 4. Launched landing pages and a debugging tool.
• 5. Monitored traffic and conversion metrics.
• 6. Analyzed results and identified distribution challenges.

Доказательства

Zero sales so far. That's the real number, not a rounded-up one.

Источник

Traffic so far is close to zero because a brand-new domain and a brand-new dev.to account both start with no search trust
