Q: Hi, Sumit!
I've been reading the reviews about your product as well as the your thorough and timely replies to questions :-) I'm very impressed and I'm in on this product for sure, but need more scalability for my agency. The majority of my clients are restaurants and I want to create amazing and "interactive" menus (as a subscription SaaS platform) that can be viewed on mobile devices by scanning a QR code. It appears your platform has the bells and whistles that restaurants would love to keep customers engaged; CTA, lead capture, etc. I know this might be a stretch, but is there a QR code feature with FlipLink? I want to avoid having to use a separate tool for creating the QR code that then points to the flipbook.
As I scale beyond my restaurant clients, do you have a plan for unlimited flipbooks. Even at the highest tier here on AppSumo, 200 of them would not be sufficient for me :-( I need ability to monetize this product and scalability is important for me as I'm sure it will be for our broader community.
Looking forward to your timely reply :-) Thanks.

May 15, 2024A: Hi AppMeister,
True ; Trust is very important ; lucky I did not only got 1 but 3 dev heads with different products. I struggled a lot; but lucky me I got my partners :)
It is an amazing feeling; I was even scared to give up my decent paying monthly job.. but than it was 11th Jan and I I was like..I do not want to service client anymore after my Bday. (it was on 12th) and I had 2 months notice to serve.. did it.. finished the thing ; and now SaaS only.
+ Appsumo is super amazing the type feedback I got from here made me improve both MyleadFox and FlipLink; there are 5 products in line this year; all product 5-6 months of running on Appsumo; than go MRR. Always thankful to all the feedback and reviews I got here, and I am super keen to implement them :) Fliplink is 70% built on here :)
I will plan something special with Appsumo users when I will take off my products from Appsumo.
Be amazing thank you for the wishes; I hope you will find a partner to build your products.
Sumit :)
Hello AppMeister,
Thank you for your kinds words; Yes I like to have the first POV with my customers; not just fliplink ; MyLeadFox and other SaaS have same level of support.
Today, currently I am in transit ; typing this reply using phone; I think you question deserves right and thorough answers; Allow me till I come back and reply you from my desktop within 12 hrs. Hope that works.
Just FYI ; each Fliplink have it's own QR code auto generated ; just click on Share and you will have the link and QR code :)
Will get back to your other question soon!
Have lovely weekend ahead!

Looking forward to it, Sumit.
Does the QR feature have an analytics component, whereby it provides reporting on scans, etc.?
Also, is the platform only capable of creating flipbooks from existing PDF files or can it convert PDFs from docs such as: Word, PPT, etc., that can then be made into flipbooks?
Please take a look at this platform, which offers an abundance of compelling features for creating flipbooks similar to yours: https://simplebooklet.com
I had been using their platform for several months, but canceled out because they were not able to offer a true CNAME/white label option. In other words, their domain/URL was still present in the source code; "view source code" option so some of my savvy techie clients could easily go directly to them and bypass me; thus killing my subscriptions.
Hello AppMeister,
Here you go ! First, Thank you for asking the question and showing interest in Fliplink.
Does the QR feature have an analytics component, whereby it provides reporting on scans, etc;
🌮🌮 No; it does not provide how many QR scans; it does provide how many time in Total your fliplink is opened with link + QR.
Also, is the platform only capable of creating flipbooks from existing PDF files or can it convert PDFs from docs such as: Word, PPT, etc., that can then be made into flipbooks?
🌮🌮 ; for now it does only PDF ; in future versions it is planned to add on other file formates to fliplinks.

🌮🌮 They are wonderful ; they have extra features Sell Your Booklet, Per Page Analytics which we have already planned to lunch in coming versions.
I had been using their platform......their domain/URL was still present in the source code; "view source code" option so some of my savvy techie .... killing my subscriptions.
🌮🌮 for this I would say ; there will always be edge cases ; in the age to internet you can not control information; if someone is that curious to know they will know the source form IP if not source code; so if those by passed you means; either they are not your target clients, or you are charging something different that they are that keen to know the source. In our case as well there will be traces of fliplink in the code 100% ; as you can think of that killing your business same way simplebooklet.com will think you are killing there business.. haha a lot of killings
As I scale beyond my restaurant clients, ....... community.
🌮🌮 Unfortunately NO; there will not be a plan that goes for unlimited fliplinks; it is not a sustainable business model to provide unlimited fliplinks; you know it better than I do as you are selling subscriptions; Fliplink is still on Startup LTD mode.
If you want more than 200; for Appsumo customers; top will be available at the same rate on site later; Start working on it and We are here to support ; almost $0.50 a fliplink is a steal deal I believe and with many other present competitions changes extra just for you to add analytics in it. So try it out ; if you want to use it on customer mobile devices for menu; I would suggest to go with Document creation rather than flipbook.
If you have tablets in restaurants ; than use flipbooks; as the flipbooks is more effective with bigger screen; in mobile it's not that efficient to flip an make decision; Flipbook are more effective for visual objectives like real estate; photography; showcase ideas ; brand booklet etc.
I hope you find my answer useful, if not fulfilling.
Sorry for the unlimited part; that will not let fliplink to keep the promises. so it will be stacked mostly here and after our campaign here. Try it.
Lovely week ahead.

Thanks for taking the time to put together your thorough response. I've already added the top tier in my AppSumo basket to try it out :-). You also bring up a good point about the source code curiosity that might come up with customers. Maybe I'm being paranoid, but you're right. Anyone that goes that far is definitely not my target customer and the incidents will probably be so small. I will definitely give the platform a try and hopefully it meets my expectations from a CNAME white label standpoint. Keep checking out and analyzing the Simplebooklet features. I think they have an awesome product and if you copy (ahem...I mean "benchmark") their features, you will crush it on AppSumo and everywhere else. I love working with product "innovators" and not just product creators :-). By the way, I bought MyLeadFox and posted a well deserved 5 taco review. Love the product and hopefully I will have the same love for FlipLink :-)

🌮🌮
I would not say paranoid, but the market is BIIIGGG imagine so many flipbook softwares, but fliplink is still making it good! Why ? because I exactly know who m I should be selling; there are softwares in market from 3 years still selling LTD, and they do not have feature Tht we have. so in general fo your case is ; sell/provide service who are your queslified customers not everyone is your customer. Thank you for understanding.

I was on a full time Job when I launched Fliplink ; Now since last 6 months I have made 6 SaaS all in different categories. all doing good. Now coming on Full time and crushing it :)
Of course we do have the beachmark and even better ; we have some things which are crazy enough in the flipbook market ; + new type of document sharing. Also I have not published all the video tutorials of many new features; expect them all on YouTube by 14th April.

I applaud and salute your efforts in going from full time employment and on your own. That's an amazing accomplishment and kudos to you. There's nothing more rewarding and I'm trying to follow the same path. I have a couple of ideas for my own SaaS products, but I'm not feeling comfortable yet with a developer that I can trust to build my product and not steal my ideas, coding, etc. If I can even get my products off the ground, I will surely put them up on AppSumo :-) I think it's a great marketplace for startup SaaS businesses.
Congrats again on your successes :-)
