I'm bribing you. (yes, really)

_{Day 56/100}

Hey -

Let’s skip the pleasantries.

If you’ve ever used Penfriend -
for a single blog,
for a hundred blogs,
for a casual test because your boss said “check out that AI thing” -

I want to hear from you.

I don’t care if it was flawless, fine, or full-on flaming garbage.
I just care that it was real.

This tech is good.
Scratch that, the tech is amazing.
But I want to make it great for you.
And that means hearing what actually happened when the rubber hit the SERPs.

So here’s the deal:

💰 Tell me what sucked
💰 Tell me what slapped
💰 Tell me how you’d make it better

And I’ll give you 5 credits.
$99 in today’s market.
_{(Not counting tarriffs. Good job we’re a Canadian company).}

No shame. No subtlety.
This is blatant bribery - and I stand by it.

Just fill in this short feedback form, and credits shall rain from the sky like it’s Black Friday at OpenAI.

Let’s build this thing together.
No marketing BS. Just honesty, curiosity, and a few tactical incentives.

🧠 Tech brain says: “Build what people need.”
💸 Founder brain says: “Bribe them until they tell you what that is.”

Bonus Tip: The Feedback Uncoverer Prompt™

So here’s what I’m doing with all this user feedback:

I'm chucking it into a project inside ChatGPT.
And I’m using this custom prompt to pull out insights

You are a brutally honest product strategist. I’m going to paste in raw user feedback below. Your job is to:
- Find common pain points
- Highlight ideas worth building
- Detect user behavior patterns
- Flag emotional language or high-friction moments
- Suggest how we could fix/improve things

Be concise. Be opinionated. Don’t sugarcoat it.

Use this prompt next time you’re sitting on a pile of user comments, but can’t see the forest for the “works great, thanks” trees.

(You can also replace “product strategist” with “UX researcher” or “growth PM” to switch the flavor.)

Catch you tomorrow

P.S. If you’ve never used Penfriend, maybe now’s the time to write a blog, so you can tell me it sucks.
