SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

Number two, if your marginal cost per additional user is low enough to sort of support the freemium model.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So there's a ton of different ways that people come.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1151 Weebly CEO: 50m Users, North of .5% Conversion to $8/mo

I will say that for the most part, it's never been a simple sort of growth hacking trick.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1151 Weebly CEO: 50m Users, North of .5% Conversion to $8/mo

There hasn't been a single sort of trick that's caused.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1151 Weebly CEO: 50m Users, North of .5% Conversion to $8/mo

I would say the very large majority of our growth has just come from, to the best we can tell, dinner table conversations, conversations over a cocktail at the bar, just people who are saying, hey, here's where I am, talking to their friends about their needs.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

and someone saying, hey, have you tried Weebly, right?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1151 Weebly CEO: 50m Users, North of .5% Conversion to $8/mo

And so the very large majority of our growth has come from effectively untrackable, you know, either hits our homepage directly or searches Weebly on Google.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1151 Weebly CEO: 50m Users, North of .5% Conversion to $8/mo

And that's where the large majority of it comes from.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1151 Weebly CEO: 50m Users, North of .5% Conversion to $8/mo

Yeah, I mean, so that's obviously something that we look at very carefully.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1151 Weebly CEO: 50m Users, North of .5% Conversion to $8/mo

I'll say that, you know, the specific numbers, you know, for our business obviously are proprietary being a private company.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1151 Weebly CEO: 50m Users, North of .5% Conversion to $8/mo

But the things that we do really look at, I think the freemium model is really interesting because not only do you have your traditional sort of cohort cash flows over time that you would see in a SaaS business.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1151 Weebly CEO: 50m Users, North of .5% Conversion to $8/mo

time from a signup cohort perspective.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1151 Weebly CEO: 50m Users, North of .5% Conversion to $8/mo

Right.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So that adds like a really interesting layer, but what it does is it adds a lot of sort of historical momentum in the business.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1151 Weebly CEO: 50m Users, North of .5% Conversion to $8/mo

So, you know, for us, it's quite predictable how many of, uh, you know, the, you know, the patterns are basically pretty consistent of how many people come to the door and how they'll convert over time.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1151 Weebly CEO: 50m Users, North of .5% Conversion to $8/mo

It entirely depends what you're looking at in terms of cohorts or seasonality in the business.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1151 Weebly CEO: 50m Users, North of .5% Conversion to $8/mo

It also depends on the customer type.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1151 Weebly CEO: 50m Users, North of .5% Conversion to $8/mo

Are you looking at someone who's doing more commerce?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1151 Weebly CEO: 50m Users, North of .5% Conversion to $8/mo

Are you looking at someone who's doing maybe a website for their classroom and they're a teacher?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1151 Weebly CEO: 50m Users, North of .5% Conversion to $8/mo

Um, I think that, uh, you know, again, that those numbers are like fairly proprietary for us.
