I'm an online marketing old-timer / serial entrepreneur at this point; full backstory here: https://medium.com/the-ascent/why-i-left-a-250k-yr-cmo-position-to-found-a-startup-fd9f617a8319

You might note something from that post...that's right, 2016. I've been through this before. Intellifluence had a successful launch on Appsumo 3 years ago, offering deals on two plans at the time: Intro and Standard. We were proud of the launch and have continued to grandfather features into those plans, even as our prices continue to climb due to demand and offerings. Right now that Intro plan maps to feature set on our 'Starter' plan, whereas the Standard plan maps to our 'Regular'. A $79 LTD 3 years ago now is now worth $249+/mo...not too shabby.

Well, we're back at it again, this time with a freebie. Why? A few reasons:
1. Because I can. As an entrepreneur it's great to be able to say that! That's the reality though. I've wanted to give back to the deals community as a whole for a while and we're going to be raising a Series A later this year for our scaling plans; we're easily the largest bootstrapped influencer network and we're the largest warm contact influencer network. The typical VC would shudder at what we're doing, creating a plan and giving it away as a 1 year freebie...so we're doing it before any VC can try and talk us out of it.
2. Because our influencers will be happier. Intellifluence is a thriving marketplace, and like all marketplaces it needs healthy buyers and sellers. We have been growing influencers very quickly lately (over 76000 as I type this), so dumping in another 10000+ brands that want to hire them for blog posts, social reviews, or whatever you have in mind, will put smiles on their faces.
3. Because I have an awesome team. It may seem cliched, but Intellifluence wouldn't exist without its people. Given the influx of users we're expecting over this, I wouldn't even dream of doing an Appsumo freebie without the support of my influencer marketing A-team. Not all of them will be in the thread over the course of this deal, but you can count on help from Andrew_Intellifluence, Jon_Intellifluence, Sammi_Intellifluence, and Tom_Intellifluence to get you the answers you need...don't tell them I said this, but they'll answer your questions much better than I probably will (queue in-depth links to FAQ pages and video responses).

That's it for now. The product has matured significantly over the past several years and increased in capabilities. We have a lot more planned on our dev list and are eager to deliver it to you now and over the many years that I hope to see you in our network.
