Swipe Files - 📂 Launch a parody product

Today's newsletter is proudly supported by Agorapulse 🙌

You can tell a lot about a company based on its customer support practices. Zappos is famous for going to extremes for its customers, even ordering pizza at 11 p.m. for a caller. And Agorapulse is the Zappos of social media management platforms.

Did you know they have the #1 rated customer support on G2, Capterra, and TrustRadius? With other platforms you could wait 12 hours for a response; with Agorapulse, the average wait is just 30 minutes! If the customer support is that good, then you know the product is absolutely killer. Create a free account and see how Agorapulse can help you grow your following today.


Here's one for the books... launch a parody product to get attention for your real product.

That's what Josh Pigford did with Beardmetrics to promote Baremetrics.

The Product Hunt launch flopped, but it did muster up several laughs on Twitter!
