Welcome to the two new people joining this week! Feel free to reply to this email and let me know how I can make this newsletter more useful.
How to monetize Free Chrome Extension users
You can check the page here.
You can learn a lot from Adblock’s approach here. It’s a masterclass.
I love how they are starting with the value they have added to your life.
“We have blocked 49,143 ads for you.”
Another smart move is asking for a one-time contribution as well.
People avoid contributing if they see that they would have to make a long-term commitment.
And they are putting everyone on the honor system who is trying to leave their page.
Recap:
Start with the value you have added to their life.
Ask for a one-time contribution as well.
Use the exit intent pop-up and put everyone on the honor system.
Check the page and let me know what stands out to you.
Idea #1
A Chrome extension that removes AI results from Google image search
If anyone wants to create a browser addon that removes AI results from your google image search, I will passionately kiss you on sight.
People have been asking for this for a while.
It shouldn’t be hard to make.
Most of the results come from pages dedicated to just posting AI art.
All it needs to do is make a list of those pages and remove them from the image results.
Another way would be to add the following tags at the end of your search query:
-"stable diffusion"
-"ai"
-"midjourney"
-"open art"
-"prompt hunt"
GapExt Update
It may land us in legal trouble if we scrape the Chrome store and build GapExt.
I want to avoid such kind of trouble so we have decided not to build it.
Thank you to everyone who bought it and helped us validate the idea.
We are refunding everyone.
If you have not received your refund yet, My sincere apologies.
Reply to this email, and I will make you a special offer as an apology.
Idea #2
A Chrome extension that shows blocked Tweets
If I could code, I'd write a little chrome extension that retreived blocked tweets and inserted them in the display. He blocked me years ago, though I don't recall every interacting with him, I wonder if he's used a shared block list
