Ask HN: Spent thousands, got no customers. What's wrong with my site?

8•petebay•14h ago
With the recent surge in AI-generated content, I built a website called Voloshow that generates images and videos using AI. However, it has been live for almost a month and still hasn’t attracted a single user. I’m not sure what I did wrong. website is called Voloshow (https://voloshow.com/).

I entered a prompt, was then asked to sign in, signed in using Google, then had to choose a completely different prompt which I couldn't scroll through on mobile, for it to tell me I have no credits. I then opened a tab to Gemini and entered my prompt to get an image for free.

I can't even register, it tells me "Something went wrong on our side. Please try again later.".

And from a quick scan of the website, I don't see how yours is different from the million other websites that generate AI videos and images. Except I have to register to even try it, which is already a huge point of friction that many other websites don't have.

You need a chrystal clear usp. The site looks like it is for everybody, it is for everything, all at once and without any specialty compared to the thousands of other ai websites and service. The generic questions always are, who should use it and why.. That needa to be answered within the first 3 seconds. E.g. Animation Artists use it for getting from idea to clip in 5 minutes instead of 5 hours...

You’ve built a generic, be all for everyone product while requiring your user to be technical enough to understand what model to pick and why. This basically means your target audience is the exact same person who’s willing (and likely prefers) to do this on their local machine. They’re not going to be sold to, have their data resold, or have to worry about a rug pull on their local machine.

It’s almost like you’re offering a taxi service to people who want to own cars. Now, here’s the thing, even when people own cars, they still outsource driving in certain situations: taxi home from the bar, limo/party bus for evens, rides to the airport, group tours, long distance, etc, etc.

Instead, of general, focus in on a specific use case and make it as simple as possible to get good results with that specific use case.

Even, then, I’m doubtful of the ability to get traction in this space. People don’t really appreciate AI generated art. The only place obviously AI generated art seems to get traction is terrible FB ads and NSFW content.

If it's any consolation, I got 500+ people to use my similar site (a bit more niche, telegram bot that generates photoshoots from a selfie) but not a single one converted to the $5 upgrade so I just spent some money on Gemini credits for nothing.

I’m not sure why I’d use any of the AI wrapper sites instead of just going to the source. They all feel like cash-grabs to me.

How did you spend thousands on the website if you have no users?
Dfiesl•18m ago
Even though on closer inspection the site is about more than just image generation, at first glance, it seems like its just an AI image generator. That's not a novel idea these days.

My interaction was, try to generate an image, get hit by a sign in screen, my enthusiasm has gone, close tab.

Is it even Google indexed?
