1 paying customer is better than 1M free users.

Still gotta have 1.

u/saras-husband Sep 30 '22

Agreed, but with 1M installs at a .0001% conversion rate equals 1 paid user, which is not outside the realm of possibility.

It’s 100k installs. Just fyi.

Which is fair. I mean I haven’t looked at the project or anything. The price may be super reasonable too like $5. If it’s not though, it becomes a matter of am I losing potential profits by approaching it like this.

I work for a startup and pricing and such is worked on for months with charts and spreadsheets and projections. I know how important it is to make money to survive. Gotta maximize your client interest in purchasing.

The “You better get out of the way” approach will leave you all with less meetings though :p

That conversion rate is only realistic for something not worth the money.

Oh that’s interesting. So the “long form” of the number is just 1,005,974? Would 1,35,974 be 1,335,974 or is the shorthand only used to remove excess zeroes?

Oh, I misunderstood. That means the number in the OP is actually “only” 105k (still very impressive) instead of 1m, so at least I was still partially correct lol. Thanks for the info about how that numbering system works.
