Show HN: I made a directory of Mac apps and tools and made $126 after 24 hours (mactools.pro)
6 points by mohitvaswani 707 days ago
One week ago, I launched a new directory, which is a curated list of useful and cool Mac apps and tools that are not available on the app store. Initially, I wasn't sure if it was a good idea, but I managed to create it in just one day. I started promoting it on Twitter and some communities, and although I got some views, I didn't make any sales.

Then the next day, I wrote a post on a subreddit related to Mac apps about the directory I launched. People loved it so much, and I got 39k views on that post, leading to around 2.5k visitors on my site. Thanks to this exposure, I made my first 4 sales.

I hope to get more sales soon. I'm also working on the SEO to attract organic traffic to the site.

Any feedback on the site will be great from your side.
