Q: Hello I read from the comments that you are currently working on a solution to auto approve comments.
Do you think you can implement a smart Ai moderation system? This way we can program it to delete spam and undesired content like cuss words and approve normal comments automatically?
Yes, we have planned to work on auto-approval of comments to make moderation easier and automated. I think we can implement a smart AI solution for the moderation. Currently, we don't have an AI/ML developer in our team but we will add one soon.
We would love to automate things to make life easier for our users.
We don't have any VC or investors behind BlogHunch at the moment.
The plan we have after AppSumo is to spend the money on the following things 1. Expand the team to help enhance the themes, and build pre-made templates for the upcoming page builder. 2. Build strategic partnerships with brands that align with our customer's needs to help to maximize cross-promotion. 3. Focus more on SEO of our main website to boost our organic traffic. 4. Partner with influencers in the same domain to help make people aware of the product and its benefits. 5. Building BlogHunch Academy. (A unified set of videos, blogs, and podcasts focused on the creator's growth). 6. Prepare to pitch to the investors and secure a seed fund for the next level or growth.
Please feel free to drop your feedback if I have missed something useful. Thank you.
Please create a free account and go to the dashboard -> settings -> themes. I understand the current themes are not up to the mark and are all minimalistic. Please be assured we are working on it and we will definitely do our best to make BlogHunch-powered sites look beautiful.
Q: Hello Bloghunch team,
Can we monitize blogging site with google adsense?
Do you know what you want this app to look like in 6 months, in 12 months?
I realise that you are actively refining your existing features at the moment but what would be some Major updates to your app over the next 12 months if everything goes according to plan?
The vision of BlogHunch is to empower creators worldwide with a set of tools under one roof that makes their lives easier.
In the next 6 months, BlogHunch would look like below.
1. Digital products are up and running with support for selling courses, ebooks, newsletters, and digital services. 2. Multiple local payment gateways integrated for seamless transactions. 3. Page builder is being continuously refined with a huge set of premade templates/sections. 4. More SEO flexibility to rank better. 5. More themes to design your site the way you want. 6. Theme customizer to have more control over the design elements. 7. Content paywall.
In the next 12 months, BlogHunch will look like below. 1. Full-featured API and SDKs ready to build applications on top of it. 2. Better app ecosystem. 3. Plenty of integrations to take AI content generation to the next level. 4. Bundling products. 5. Cross-selling products. 6. Built-in CRM automation. 7. Gamification. 8. Community.
and a few more which will remain as a surprise to delight our users 🥳
Q: You have listed BlogHunch as an alternative to Wordpress.
Will you be continuing to develop more blogging features within BlogHunch? Like drag and drop elements, ability to add ads in different formats. And prebuilt templates etc...
Absolutely, blogging will always remain the core of our services. We already have a templates/themes library. We will continue expanding the library and enhance the existing ones.
In terms of drag-and-drop elements, we will not have support for that in the editor but we are creating a page builder where you will be able to create page using drag-and-drop components/sections/templates.
Regarding the ads in different formats, we do support injecting HTML so it will be super easy to add ads in any format you prefer.
Q: Hi, there was a previous comment about course features enhancements needed; would you consider them in your ...
roadmap (and if yes, could you provide an estimate timeline for each)?
" #1: Add course quizzes & possibly certificates that can automatically be sent to the subscriber who is taking the course.
#2: In the Newsletter section, add the function to be able to select the courses directly into the newsletter, letting us pick and choose which we can embed into the newsletter. This will increase our ability to advertise our new courses.
#3: A course Drip feature is always a good way to keep our subscribers more involed and commited to accomplishing smaller goals to reach the end.
#4: Gamification Give this option to us to help further our subsciber engagement and to reqard
#5: Sometimes when I'm doing something and I hit Save, I'll see an error message. It will be more helpful if the error is somehow identified on the page, so we know where to start looking to fix the error, because guessing what it might be is too many start overs involved. "
Thank you so much for the compliment. It is really an achievement for us to have such awesome feedback about BlogHunch.
Regarding the risk of selling tools after the AppSumo campaign. I have seen that this is happening quite frequently nowadays. I believe from a founder's perspective it usually might have happened due the following reasons
1. There is not much left to develop/innovate in the product 2. They are solopreneurs and can't take up the stress anymore 3. The product niche is too small and not many growth options are there 4. Founder is not ready to take on the challenge and a few more.
Now in terms of BlogHunch, I can assure you that we would never think of selling it out until the goals are met. To justify my words here are the reasons
1. There is a lot to develop and innovate in this domain. We just got started with digital products. 2. We are two full-time founders who are always ready to crush it and take on the challenges. 3. The niche is quite big and there is a solid opportunity to make it big. 4. Our vision is to empower millions of creators worldwide. We are at just a few thousand now, a long way to go before we even think about exiting the company.
Exit is an option once there is nothing left to innovate and we have already empowered millions of creators worldwide. So please be assured we are here until it becomes the Shoify for creators. 🙏
Q: Is it possible to sell subscriptions/memberships with BlogHunch?
No courses, ebooks or products, just access to content. Is it possible to set parts of the website behind a paywall, making it accessible onla for paying members? Thanks for explaining how (if).
We are working on a content paywall currently. Once released in the next month you will be able to create subscription tiers let's say A, B, and C. When publishing a post or newsletter you can choose if it's for everyone or members or any specific tier.
Q: Is it possible to invite team members only to one blog/site, or even better, to some blogs/sites?
I run two organizations and don't want members of one to be able to see the members of the other, especially because the second one is volunteer driven.
Yes, it's absolutely possible to invite team members to each of your blogs separately. Suppose you have two organizations A and B. The members of team A cant access the content or data posted by team B and vice versa,
Based on the user feedback and internal team discussion we have made a massive upgrade to the plan limits. Now we are offering 50x more members on Tier 3.
Thank you.
Q: Thank you for increasing the active members/subscribers!
Q: I see a code inject function in the settings of BlogHunch
Can I embed any custom code in any part of the website?
Example as this code of the countdown timer: <web-component-embed id="8Rpb3a" app_slug="countdown-timer"></web-component-embed><script src="https://app.powr.io/assets/webcomponent.js"></script>
I have added it here. Please check https://wheelsonroad.mybloghunch.com/?ref=bloghunch.com
It's added through the Code Inject in Settings. If you want to add something for the entire site please use Code Inject in settings. If you want to use it for a specific post in any specific position, you can do that from the editor.

Q: I really want to max stack this, but I am hesitant because I am traumatized by founders who always sell their ...
tools after the AppSumo campaign. It feels like a waste of time.
Is there any assurance that you will not sell this tool, or if you do sell it, can you make sure you don't forget us appsumo customers?
By the way, this is an amazing tool, in my opinion and in my experience, better than Storipress, and it's packed with useful apps and features.
