So you know, that's, that's fine.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Credo Hits $300k Revenue By Paying $2m to SEO Consultants

And we account for that in our growth models.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Credo Hits $300k Revenue By Paying $2m to SEO Consultants

Yeah, so we're willing to pay to get a new project through our system.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Credo Hits $300k Revenue By Paying $2m to SEO Consultants

So as I said at the start, our model starts off with, right now it's a $100 deposit when they first come in the door.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

And then it's too early to tell what a total client is worth to us.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Credo Hits $300k Revenue By Paying $2m to SEO Consultants

It's somewhere in the couple thousand dollar range.

Um, is what we can afford to pay to acquire a new client.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Credo Hits $300k Revenue By Paying $2m to SEO Consultants

No, no, no.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
Credo Hits $300k Revenue By Paying $2m to SEO Consultants

We're spending way less simply because most of our, uh, most of our projects, most of the clients come through SEO at this point.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So what are you spending?

1404 He was fired then went all in, now $30k/mo

Yeah, we're a marketplace, but we're a high-touch marketplace above an Upwork or a Fiverr.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1404 He was fired then went all in, now $30k/mo

We don't concentrate on the smaller budgets, the $200, I need four blog posts a month.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1404 He was fired then went all in, now $30k/mo

We concentrate on the people that have $3,000, $5,000 a month to spend on high-quality SEO, email marketing, Facebook ads, that sort of thing, and match them up with the agencies that can do that.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders
1404 He was fired then went all in, now $30k/mo

So we have a dual retainer plus commission model.

SaaS Interviews with CEOs, Startups, Founders

So the agencies that we're sending work to directly pay us on a monthly retainer, various levels.
