Hey Product Hunt! I’m Nick, one of the co-founders of Norby. A little over a year ago, we released the very first version of Norby to a small group of beta testers. We’ve spent the last year scaling our beta and today we’re opening up access to everyone and launching Norby publicly – along with some brand new features, a new website, and a new look. How’d we get here? At the beginning of the pandemic, @sam_safer_valentine, @steven_layne and I helped build an online community called Mainstream. When the site took off, we found ourselves scrambling to keep up – stitching together dozens of marketing, messaging, and analytics tools and writing code as fast as we could to make it all work together. We started collaborating with other creator businesses and community-driven brands and quickly realized we were all dealing with the same problems: - Good tools are expensive - Workflows are fragmented - It’s hard to get started and even harder to grow We met incredible founders, makers, and creative entrepreneurs with skills and vision, but who didn’t have the toolkit or know-how to grow a modern, multi-channel brand. So we built Norby to help fill that gap with: - Easy-to-use SMS and email marketing tools - Customizable landing pages for signups, events, and your link in bio - Plug-and-play segmentation and cross-platform analytics - Resources and community to help you at every stage of your journey Our goal is to help you grow — whether you’re just getting started or building on your success. Launching a Shopify shop? Grow your lists by organizing community events. Releasing an album? Build hype with SMS drops. Scaling your coaching business? Streamline your signups and workshop management. We’ve built Norby from the ground up to help you find sustainable success, and that includes our business model. We don’t charge by the contact or follower, we don’t make money from ads, and we don’t sell your data – ever. Our Growth plan is $19/mo and you can try it for free, no credit card required, by clicking the link above. (And if you sign up now, you'll lock in 50% off your first month as a special thank you from our team 🙂) Check it out and drop a comment below. We’d love to hear your feedback, thoughts on features we should add next, or how you’re thinking about community-driven growth! Nick

@sam_safer_valentine @steven_layne @nicholas_gerard We did it! What a journey it has been. I am so proud of what Norby has become, from the inside out. From our team to our product to our incredible customers – we’re changing the game for how people make a living and unlock success. And that feels GOOD.

 As a previous small business owner, I joined this team because I wholeheartedly believe in the need and value of Norby. However, the people behind it and the community that has been built along the way are what amaze me every day. Thank you to everyone who has and continues to support us, and to our customers who always keep it real, give us honest feedback and insight, and enable us to build a better product to create a better future.

 At Norby, we believe anyone with passion and determination should be able to build a successful business. Change takes time, but today, we’re one step closer!! As Nick said, our team will be around all day to chat about all things Norby and community-driven growth. We can’t wait to hear and learn from y’all. Tori

@steven_layne @nicholas_gerard @tori_lazar1 + team Norby we did it - so proud! When we say born from first-hand entrepreneurial experiences - and frustrations, we mean it. We have felt the highs and lows of building a multi-channel brand and community ourselves and we’ve seen and heard it from our users. It’s incredible to be able to build a product that addresses the pain and bring it to market for all to experience. Our team is here for your entrepreneurial journey whether it is just getting started or moving into growth mode - we have your back! A huge shout out to our community for your support, feedback and trust in letting us be part of your journeys -it's why I do, what I do.

@nicholas_gerard congrats on the launch. It seems, you need to work on mobile responsive a little bit. On some pages, the buttons are not visible on Android device. Rest all good.

@n_russell Thanks, Nick! It's the only way to succeed in our increasingly online world! Cross-platform/ channel analytics also unlock some major insights so business owners/ creators can work smarter not harder.

@n_russell Love this Q! Right now, we have a Zoom integration. However, we're currently on the lookout for what integrations we should prioritize next. I'm curious about which webinar platforms you've tried or used before and like the best. Any favorites? I do love Hopin's highly branded experience.

All-in-one can be hard to pull off, but oh so powerful if you nail it. Congratulations! Looking forward to trying it out.

@sven_radavics 100%!! our team did TONS of customer interviews and deep research on what tools were most essential to live up to our all-in-one brand promise. What we found is that a healthy mix of tools that can work for acquisition like landing pages and signups, as well as retention like SMS/ email and events, is what sets our customers up for optimum success. The other key unlock with an all-in-one platform is aggregating all of your audience data so you can truly understand what drives someone to go from passive follower to paying customer!

As a creator and founder myself, Norby has been a game-changer in how I view marketing and community. I loooove having my link in bio ALSO be a fully functional marketing tool where I can track user behavior, host signups, host events, share affiliate links, and create original content such as emails and texts ALL IN ONE. Truly love this product and this team.
