Hey everyone — Matt here, Co-Founder of Thinkific. Since launching The Leap's beta last October, our team has learned a lot and has been busy building something even bigger. Today I’m excited to announce the official launch of The Leap, the all-in-one creator store made for selling digital products to mobile audiences. During the beta, we introduced new, game-changing features like customizable store themes and email marketing, plus dozens of enhancements to make your creator journey successful. At The Leap, we believe that social-first creators need a different approach than what’s offered by traditional creator platforms. Social audiences deserve social products (and experiences). That’s why The Leap helps you create a seamless, mobile journey that lets your followers engage and buy all in one place. With The Leap, you can: 🔗 Turn followers into customers. Your link-in-bio becomes a mobile-optimized store where all of your products and services are brought together in one central hub. 💌 Connect with your audience directly. Bypass social media platforms and their fickle algorithms with built-in email marketing features like flows and broadcasts. ✨ Build bite-sized products with AI. Create digital products that feel like watching an Instagram Story — and are just as binge-able! Our data shows that creators who have mobile products earn 64% more 🤯 than creators selling standalone ebooks, templates, and other digital downloads. The best part? We're offering full functionality on the Free plan and you keep 100% of what you earn. More than 25,000 creators have already used The Leap to build and sell digital products. Give The Leap a try at https://www.theleap.co and let us know what you think. We can’t wait to see what you build! -Matt

Congrats on the launch, Matt! The link-in-bio feature sounds like a game changer for creators. Can you share more about how The Leap helps increase conversion rates from social media followers to paying customers?
Keanen Buckley
@sankeerth_julapally Hi Sankeerth! Great question. Couples of points: 1. Social media isn't the best place to "close" the sale — social algos don't love sales-focused content. So what we do is encourage creators to continue publishing value-first content that ties into a lead magnet (that we help them set up). Once they start moving that social audience into their email list, our email marketing features give them a direct line of communication for more conversion-focused messaging. 2. Leap products are meant to feel like an extension of social media usage patterns. Creating a journey that is fully mobile removes a lot of friction for a social media user, and that goes a long way for helping conversions.

Congrats on the launch! I personally DO really love the product from both idea, tech, and design sides! Our team at Givell (https://www.producthunt.com/post...) sees The Leap as a perfect partner. It’s a potential win-win. Would you be interested in discussing the details further?

The Leap by Thinkific simplifies the process of selling digital products on social platforms. You can quickly turn followers into customers and engage your audience directly. How could this platform streamline your social selling strategy? @symana

@oleksandra_vasiukhnyk Hi Oleksandra! The Leap helps you build a fully automated social sales funnel. You can create lead magnets and paid products, then use automated email flows to nurture and convert leads into customers. You can do all of the directly in The Leap, really quickly. Once that's built, your social strategy can be purely focused on discovery and driving viewers to your lead magnet.

The AI-powered feature for building bite-sized products sounds intriguing. Can you explain how this feature works and what kind of products it can help create? Great launch!
Keanen Buckley
@ramya_pk Hi Ramya! We have a product builder in The Leap that allows you to create digital products like mini-courses, guides, tutorials, challenges, and more. The end-user experience feels a lot like watching an Instagram Story. We integrated AI into the building experience to help creators get started quicker. The AI takes your area of expertise and recommends products for you to create, and will even create it for you!

BIG DAY! The Leap is our of beta. I want to thank all 25,000 users from our beta phase, you provided invaluable feedback along the way. I am blown away at how The Leap's functionality has grown since we launched the beta hre in October. I also want to thank The Leap team, the Product Hunt community will understand how challenging it is to build a new product. The Leap team has really embraced building in public and have been obsessed with provided customer value. We are just getting started.

Congratulations on the official launch of The Leap! I'm fascinated by platforms that empower creators in innovative ways. The Leap's focus on mobile-first digital products is not only timely but also crucial for today's evolving digital landscape. I'm curious, how does The Leap's AI technology personalize the creation of bite-sized products? Excited to explore this new frontier!
Keanen Buckley
Hi @cynthia_bolasina! What we’ve found the secret sauce to be is using the AI to build the structure and base content of their products and then injecting your own “unique genius” manually.

Congrats team! Great work

Congratulations on the launch, Matt! How do you see the customizable store themes enhancing the user experience for both creators and their audiences?
Matt Smith
@anastasia_chakileva_ Thank you, Anastasia! Making your store feel like an extension of your social media profile and overall brand was a common theme we heard in creator interviews. A lot of our users treat their Leap link-in-bio store as an alternative to creating a website. The customizable themes give them the confidence in knowing they can create something unique that'll leave a great first impression with their audience.
Dmytro Semonov
The Leap by Thinkific team, this platform looks amazing for creators! The simplicity and efficiency are impressive. I'm curious, how does The Leap support creators in building and managing their customer base, and what tools does it provide to track and analyze sales performance over time? 📈🛒
Keanen Buckley
Hi @dmytro_semonov - Thanks for the kind words! Creators can build lead magnets directly within The Leap and set up landing pages / email capture forms for distributing them. All contacts are stored in a lightweight CRM where creators can see purchases, downloads, subscription status, etc.
Benjamin Sloutsky
Seems like an interesting idea. The logo is pretty cool. Congrats on the launch!
