middleman90on How to earn customers for life [video]

I did expect them to talk because I read, and also listened in this video, that users are thrilled to talk with the founders of the product they use.

I can understand what you say about unhappy users, they are the hardest to establish a conversation with, in fact, I had yet no luck with them.

I also try to contact my most engaged and paying users, very little luck there.

So, either everyone is laying (very unlikely), or I'm doing something wrong.

People like to talk to the founder of companies

It's not working for me. I own a mobile app (B2C) with paying users and this is the hardest part: Talking to users.

I'm literally offering money to my users to talk to them but nobody wants to.

What am I doing wrong?

Currently, we have not actively pursued marketing efforts, but have gained users through searches on app and play stores.

middleman90on An algorithm that recreates 3D objects from tiny 2D images

I agree. I think that the AI has knowledge of those objects.

The fact that all the objects are symmetric (at least in the examples) helps a lot.

He says that the copywriter writes 1 or 2 articles every week. He gets paid an average of 100$ per article. That's' not bad if you consider that the writer, for sure, is working for other people as well.
