Review my startup: BoxRockit - a simple way to sell on Twitter

10 pointsby SeanNieuwoudtover 13 years ago
We decided to put together an MVP of an idea we had about selling digital products on Twitter and hopefully other social networks. We launched it 3 days ago.<p>It's a simple product that allows you to sell your digital products on Twitter.<p>Traffic to the site has been quite intense, but conversions are somewhat low and the bounce rate is higher than it should be.<p>We definitely think that there is a market for it, but we'd love to hear thoughts &#38; suggestions from our favorite community :)<p>http://boxrockit.com

I have a digital product that I sell it's a PHP script.<p>I can see the advantages of using you guys to manage the download and payment process.<p>But the twitter thing confuses me, my only twitter followers are customers anyway and I don't have many. If I was sending out a tweet I'd prefer them to go to my landing page anyway.<p>So if I were you guys I'd tone down the twitter thing and make the mesasge more about managing digital downloads.<p>"A simple way to sell your digital products on Twitter"<p>becomes<p>"A simple way to sell your digital products"<p>But maybe this is targeted at people with lots of followers and lots of digital products.

From a quick look I see two things: digital product delivery and twitter tools.<p>Both of these products already exist and I've seen some pretty refined ones in each industry. Why are you sticking them together? I am with ianpurton on twitter confusing the issue. By expanding past twitter, it looks like your focus is more on digital product delivery, what makes you any better than what's out there now?

Small typo: "Upgrade for $15/pm" should either be "Upgrade for $15/month" or better to be clear with "Upgrade for $15 per month".<p>"conversions are somewhat low and the bounce rate is higher than it should be." But "We definitely think that there is a market for it"<p>Why do you think that?

Cool idea. I might not have a use for it just yet, but maybe in the future. Just a small tip: there's a typo in the 1st answer of the FAQ: "Boxrockit is a simple way to sell digital good on Twitter." It should be "digital goods".
