'Earn while browsing' app hits 1,300+ waitlist signups in 2.5 weeks
A shared a progress update 2.5 weeks into building a new product. The core idea is simple: users earn money just by browsing. Launch is planned for August, and the current focus is growing the waitlist and testing which work.
The waitlist has passed 1,300 signups, with adding roughly 20-30 new users per day. One unexpectedly drove over 620,000 , while other platforms each brought in around 5,000 . The founder recently started posting in Discord communities to gather feedback, and the response has been positive so far.
Based on subjective observations, X (Twitter) Ads have been one of the cheapest paid for this audience, and Quora has also performed reasonably well. The founder is now trying to figure out where else this audience spends their time to find the next channel.
