This seems like a much needed service for independent content creators. Nico's background is just right for solving this problem.
Excited to keep following the progress on Twitter!
Interesting product and congrats on your launch! Love that it came with a ad profit calculating tool.
I used to run a news site and I had to cold-email sponsors one by one. Think Open For Ads would have been a wonderful way to shortcut the process if it has a good amount of willing sponsors!
@verasun Oh, glad someone noticed it π
I didn't find any tool that was doing it properly so I made my own, hopefully, it will help indie makers figure out what metrics they need to run ads properly (and improve if needed)
And yes, the goal is to quickly find media. For now there is no messaging feature, just the email, but that's something I could add on the long term, making mass offers etc
I'm super excited to make Open For Ads for the community!
Here is a fun story: 3 weeks ago I gave myself a little challenge of making the whole product in one week. I scheduled the Product Hunt launch before making the actual app. I only had a landing page and a few media on the waitlist. I was ready to launch, but then...
...I ate a bad burrito, had really bad food poisoning, and ended up in the hospital due to extreme dehydration. π₯΅
Since the launch was scheduled, it launched while I was away. But fortunately, Product Hunt's team was kind enough to delete it and allow me to launch again. So, here we are! π
Why Open For Ads?
For Medias:
As a media, you know how hard it is to get advertisers. You have to make research, send lots of emails, and most of the time, you donβt even get a response. But not anymore. Open For Ads is a platform that allows you to get in touch with advertisers in a few clicks. Just create an account, add your media, and start getting advertisers!
For Advertisers:
So, you have a great product, got some validation, but now it's time to scale things up. How do you do that?
Sure, organic is always a good way, but it takes time. Sure, you could use Google Ads, Meta and other big platforms, but you'd have to spend weeks learning how it works and pray not to get banned instantly.
β¨ Open For Ads β¨ is a platform that will allow you to quickly find the most relevant media to promote your product.
Filter by size, budget, and many more criteria, to find the perfect audiences π
For now it's 100% free for everyone, but I'm not excluding adding paid features in the future. I will see based on the feedback I get.
And that's it! I hope you'll like it, and I can't wait to see all the ads you'll make! π
BONUS: Free Tool
I also made adsprofitcalculator.com, a free tool that allows you to quickly calculate if you can make a profit with ads. It will also give you personalized tips based on your numbers!
