Don’t lock pricing on day one. Evolve it with the product. 1. Open signup. Generous free tier. Watch session recordings. Beg for feedback everywhere. When someone pays or starts a trial, reach out directly. 2. Once you have traffic and the worst product kinks are gone, gate signup behind a free trial with CC down. They have to cancel with a feedback fom if they don’t want to stay. This is where you learn the gap between perceived value and received value. 3. After the UX and payment journey are actually dialed in, you can optionally open free signup back up if costs are under control. More people will convert now. Free users still spread word of mouth. But free becomes very basic, with paywalls around the features you already know convert. Just what has worked for me. The product takes time to evolve. The payment structure should evolve with it.

Might as well pick a niche where you enjoy talking to them (or risk losing interest) 🚀 Growing audience - high risk, high reward. Pick an audience at the right time, and own the market 🤑 Wealthy audience - pick those who aren't price sensitive, and ideally have your service be something that makes them more money All 3 aren't essential to build a successful business, but of course that wouldn't hurt
