SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
MySwimPro Hit 15k Customers, $1m in ARR Selling Swim Instructions

So that really helps the word of mouth.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
MySwimPro Hit 15k Customers, $1m in ARR Selling Swim Instructions

And so I think snowball effect is probably the most fitting way to do it.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
MySwimPro Hit 15k Customers, $1m in ARR Selling Swim Instructions

Because I always tell people, year one, we were getting like 20 to 30 downloads a day.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
MySwimPro Hit 15k Customers, $1m in ARR Selling Swim Instructions

And then fast forward and all of a sudden that's two to 300 downloads per day.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
MySwimPro Hit 15k Customers, $1m in ARR Selling Swim Instructions

And then it's like a thousand downloads per day, but it wasn't, you snap your fingers and you instantly go, you know, if you were to spend a lot of money on marketing, you could theoretically, you know, buy, you know, that exposure, but we didn't really go that route.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
MySwimPro Hit 15k Customers, $1m in ARR Selling Swim Instructions

It was more organic content, word of mouth.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
MySwimPro Hit 15k Customers, $1m in ARR Selling Swim Instructions

So in 20, yeah, we'll go year by year.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
MySwimPro Hit 15k Customers, $1m in ARR Selling Swim Instructions

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
MySwimPro Hit 15k Customers, $1m in ARR Selling Swim Instructions

In 2016 to 2017, we about 10x that over that, you know, 12 to 18 month window.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
MySwimPro Hit 15k Customers, $1m in ARR Selling Swim Instructions

So now we're, you know, 2017, now we're looking at two, 300 downloads per day.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
MySwimPro Hit 15k Customers, $1m in ARR Selling Swim Instructions

2018, 2019, we've gotten up to about, you know, 800 to 1200 downloads per day.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
MySwimPro Hit 15k Customers, $1m in ARR Selling Swim Instructions

And the unfortunate thing about the pandemic of 2020, you know, with pool access being shut down for 30 to 50%, we've actually been cut back pretty significantly.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
MySwimPro Hit 15k Customers, $1m in ARR Selling Swim Instructions

You know, now today in 2020, if we're looking at three to 500 downloads per day, just because the pools aren't open and people aren't trying to go swimming right now, but I'm very confident that

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
MySwimPro Hit 15k Customers, $1m in ARR Selling Swim Instructions

2021, when the Olympics comes back around, you know, hopefully next year we'll start to see that traffic go back to normal.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
MySwimPro Hit 15k Customers, $1m in ARR Selling Swim Instructions

Yeah, we have about between seven, 8,000 paying across both of those.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
MySwimPro Hit 15k Customers, $1m in ARR Selling Swim Instructions

And how much, how many was that last year?

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
MySwimPro Hit 15k Customers, $1m in ARR Selling Swim Instructions

We're about flat from last year because of the pandemic.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
MySwimPro Hit 15k Customers, $1m in ARR Selling Swim Instructions

It's pretty consistent, despite actually getting less traffic incoming.
