I'm trying to validate a content-research tool for Indian creators before building it. Roast my landing page

Quick context: 7 years in marketing, building a few things on the side. Spotted what feels like a real gap: every Indian creator I know studies Hormozi/Sahil Bloom/Mark Manson and adapts their structures, but the tools that surface 'what's working' (Eden, Taplio, ContentStudio) are either too expensive (₹2,500-₹16,500/mo) or indexed almost entirely on Western creators.

Idea: a research library of outlier posts from Indian creators only. LinkedIn, IG, YouTube. Searchable by niche. Priced under ₹1,000/month.

Before I commit 6 weeks to building it, I want to validate demand. Built a one-page interactive demo with an embedded survey. 3 questions, takes 60 seconds, shows live signal as more people respond.

What I'd love feedback on:

- Does the positioning land or sound generic?

- Pricing tiers — am I anchoring too low?

- The demo itself — is the 'pick a niche, see top posts' loop compelling, or does it feel like a glorified Notion template?

- Anything that makes you want to close the tab

Link in the first comment. Honest takes welcome, especially the harsh ones — that's why I'm here and not on LinkedIn for this one.

Indian creators — what's your actual process for finding what to post about?

I've been studying how the top 1% of Indian creators on LinkedIn and Instagram (Warikoo, Akshat Shrivastava, Saheli, Ananya, Kunal) actually generate ideas, vs how everyone else does it.

The gap is bigger than I expected.

Most people I talked to (myself included until recently) do one of three things:

- Scroll the feed hoping for inspiration

- Recycle their own old hooks

- Generic ChatGPT output

The top creators all do the same thing instead: they maintain a private swipe file of posts that already crushed in their niche, study the structure, then write their own version. Hormozi does it. Warikoo does it. Saheli writes about doing it.

There's a US tool called Eden (eden.so) that productized this for Western creators. $29-$199 a month. No Indian equivalent.

I'm thinking of building one for India. Before I do, I'd genuinely like to know:

  1. How do you currently decide what to post?

  2. Have you ever paid for a content-research tool? Which one, and did it stick?

  3. If a tool indexed Indian creator outliers across LinkedIn/IG/YouTube, what would you reasonably pay?

I built a quick interactive page that shows the concept and captures answers — link in first comment to keep this from being flagged as promo. Genuinely just trying to figure out if this is worth building or not.
