land that gig by making a great first impression. Feedback appreciated.

http://impressar.io Another 'scratch your own itch' MVP, bear with me. I'm a long-time telecommuter, and my gig-hunting success depends on two critical elements: an email cover letter that is visually appealing, and a corresponding portfolio landing page with content tailored to that specific email.

    our MVP landinggear.me for building landing pages2014 · ▲5

    Hello HN, www.LandingGear.me is designed specifically for building single page landing pages. Our first MVP got a good response with a few hundred people visiting and downloading templates. So we've taken it to the next level of development, added more features and functions and added an option to pay. We're now wanting to get a little more validation and feedback. Would you mind please having a look and posting your feedback here? thanks! Anton Winter

    Hey HN, I've just begun my solopreneur journey. I've been a "serial starter" - often starting projects and never seeing them through, and I have finally finished my first project! Maybe this sentiment resonants with some of you, let me know in the comments below I built this tool as a simple no-risk method for turning more visitors into customers by A/B testing your sale promotions and automatically displaying the promotion with the highest conversion rate. Did you know that increasing your conversion rate by just half a percent can have a dramatic impact on your sales without needing…
