10words.io and a New Copy Tool Making 30k MRR
Another place to promote! This newsletter edition we are looking at another startup directory with a bonus tip on an absolute rocket of a startup saving people time by generating marketing copy in seconds.
We start by looking at 10words.io. It allows you to present your project in 10 words or less through a free option or paid option:
Free Promotion
The free option gives you visibility in several places, the discover section, browser extensions, and placed in the queue to be featured on the homepage and daily newsletter.
You find the Submit Your Startup button in the top right corner:
After you’ve clicked Submit your Startup, it takes you to the submission page:
The submission consists of five main steps:
-
Email
-
Project Name
-
Link to Project
-
Project Twitter Handle (Optional)
-
Description (10 words or less)
Let’s complete the steps.
Name, Email, Link and Description of your Project
Paid Promotion
The paid option allows you to become a sponsor at a rate of $50 a week. With the sponsorship you get premium placement in several places.
- Premium placement in all emails (1500+ active subscribers)
- Daily startup emails
- Weekly digest email
- Welcome emails to new subscribers
- A shout-out on Twitter (600+ followers)
- Premium placement on their website (500+ uniques/week)
You enter your email to receive more information on becoming a sponsor.
Done
Finished in no more than 10 minutes and now your project’s on a site with a consistent viewership.
Bonus Tip
Transparency moment, I struggle with coming up with catchy headlines and descriptions for my projects. Copy.ai has been a lifesaver for me because it generates high quality suggestions in seconds. You don’t get to 30k MRR in 3 months without doing something right and founders Paul Yacoubian and Chris Lu share their journey by building in public.
Copy.ai consists of four simple steps:
- Create a campaign
- Choose a tone
- Choose a tool
- Create Copy
The tools are categorized to make your life easier.
The Digital Ad Copy category has tools for several different social media platforms.
For the Facebook Primary Text tool you just have to enter the name of your project, a description and then click Make Copy!
Here’s some results for WhereToPost (Pretty Good Right !?!):
Let me know what Copy.ai produces for your project when you try it out !
