The Startup Ideas Podcast · The blueprint to build a $340k/mo premium dating app · 16 Oct 2024 podcast

I don't know, like less than five bucks.

I think so too. It's like a game, you know, it's just like a game. Basically you have to like, obviously you got to like hook people to want to use it at least for a couple of times, but totally. Yeah.

So that's, it's not the type of thing that I generally would spend my time doing, but I think there are a lot of people who are really good at this and like really enjoy doing this and would be better than me at doing this. And like you said, I think there's like a lot of versions of this that could be done.

Do I have a question for you?

Um, well, you tell me all the secretive stuff that you're working on right now that you don't want to tell, tell anybody that you're working on.

I mean, that's the question. That's the question I would ask you if we weren't recording the podcast.

No, for yourself, but I don't love it. Like to, to actually ask a user to do this.

Okay.

I just, I think this, like, I think the subscription fatigue thing is real, like, and I think that it's primarily about monthly subscriptions. I think that, like, I think I made some tweet about this or whatever, like, I usually like say one sentence things about things that I'm like thinking a lot more about.

And then later we'll probably write something longer about or do something with, but I said something like monthly subscriptions are like situationships basically. And like a lot of users that are signing up for monthly subscriptions are just like, okay, I want to try this thing. I don't really know if I want to commit to it.

Like either they're trying to kind of do a free trial and cancel it right away. Or they're like, don't end up doing that. And later they're like, shh, oh man, I didn't mean to actually be subscribed. It's just really irritating, I think, for people, and they're kind of in a limbo state.

So I do kind of feel like things are going to be pushing towards either, obviously free, people love free, but I think one-time payments, which I think you've talked about before, is a very appealing option. I think lifetime subscriptions, which basically is a one-time payment, is like another way to market that, which is very appealing. I think annual subscriptions are fine too.

Like I would love to not even have a monthly option. Like if I were... like selling something on a subscription basis, I'd be like, it's annual or nothing, basically. And I think a lot of people are going to start doing that more. I think there's also this like pay what you want trend that's been happening as well.

And I think it's like all from the root of the fact that monthly subscriptions are just like, don't feel good to users anymore. And you want to push people to either like, still be uncommitted entirely or committed entirely in some way. And then obviously, ideally you want them to feel like they got a lot more value than they actually paid.

So yeah, I have this, like any product that I'm pricing, I would not be at all interested in doing a monthly subscription. Like if I could avoid it.

So that's my... Is there an example of that? It doesn't have to be a tool you're making. But what do you think would be a tool that would fit that business model?

That's not SaaS, right? It's not exactly software. Is it more like content or?

Yeah.

Yeah. Selfishly, I have like... I want people to make a lot more interesting content like than just new podcasts. Like yours is at least like a new format, but I feel like most people are just doing like, let's try to recreate the all in podcast or let's try to like, so you've been doing a lot more live stuff or you were, which is very cool. I think live is actually still very underdone.

like particular from growing channels like and then obviously you can start doing a lot more asynchronous content as well um but i want people to like do more novel formats and that could either be like towards live and like much more unscripted which i think you're doing or it can be like more produced and like more high fidelity to some extent which i don't think people are really touching because it requires a lot i don't know it kind of like requires you to like
