He shipped features continuously in the days after launch and tweeted every addition, generating a steady drip of new sales with each tweet.

“Every time I add a new feature, I tweet about it, and more sales come in”

He attributes it to years of prior audience-building, not the launch tweet itself: he had spent roughly two years growing his X following and newsletter before TypingMind existed, so the launch tweet reached a warm, pre-built audience rather than starting from zero.

“I spent a lot of time and effort over the past 2 years building an audience”

Launched on Product Hunt five days after the initial Twitter release, timed as the second leg of launch week.

“On 11 March, I launched the product on Product Hunt”

He credits the same pre-built Twitter and newsletter audience for driving the votes that got TypingMind to #1 Product of the Day, not the Product Hunt platform working on its own.

“With a lot of help from my audience on Twitter and in this newsletter, TypingMind got to #1 product of the day”

No deliberate Reddit campaign; TypingMind gets discussed unprompted by users on Reddit as one of the more comprehensive LLM frontends, which he treats as free, ongoing distribution roughly 20 months after launch.

“It gets mentioned positively on Reddit almost every day”

He tried both paid ads and newsletter/creator sponsorships to grow TypingMind and abandoned both; he does not explain what specifically made the results bad, only that they were.

“I tried to run paid ads and sponsorships, but the results were terrible, so I stopped”

Resellers who understand AI and have local business connections sell TypingMind Custom under their own brand, pay Tony a platform fee, and layer their own consulting/training/onboarding on top for their own margin.

“I will negotiate a deal with the resellers to sell TypingMind under their own brand while I act as the technical partner”

He reports it as validated, with active relationships already running in some regions, though without a number attached.

“I have successful reseller relationships in some regions and am looking to expand this further”
