Right now I have a handful of customers on the $29/mo plan. I feel like there's more potential though, but it's a tricky product to market. Any suggestions on how I can grow revenue without substantial investments in the product itself? I'm considering adding a cheaper plan ($7/mo) with a lower member limit (e.g. max 25 members) to get more people in the door. I'm even considering adding a free plan with mandatory "Powered by Faces" branding, but free subscriptions might be more trouble than they are worth. Then there's some potential to market it to specific niches such as co-working spaces. Any other suggestions?

How about offering them long-term trials (such as half a year) so that you can write some case studies? Probably your potential users hesitate to signup your #faces because they don't see how it can improve their businesses 🤔

I want to add a chat box to my product site to catch sales questions. I've got three requirements: - It needs to be free (I don't have a lot of financial room at the moment). - I need to be able to steer customers towards sales questions and prevent support questions (that's what GH and CodeCanyon support are for). I found Drift, Crips, and Freshchat. Any others I should take a look at?

Crisp is awesome, even on the free plan

I'm searching for the most reliable flow to do that outside the Mac App Store.

There is also [Paddle](https://paddle.com/) that was mention by some WIP member but I didn't try it. - Good: They are supporting Payoneer withdraw. Good for people from Easter Europe who don't have PayPal (Gumroad do not support PayPal) - Bad: Hight fee: 5% + $0.5 vs 3.5% + 0.3$ Gumroad

Or: where can I learn online sales for SaaS?

@jonathankosgei sent me this link here and it's very enlightening https://www.julian.com/learn/growth/b2b-sales

I had built a basic but functional museum inventory management software. It exists both as web SaaS and desktop app for all OS. The basic idea is you can track what "inventory" you've got in the museum, descriptions of these products based on various attributes, different pictures of it, log requests for repairs etc. There are a few different admin roles mainly differentiating what data they can see/add/edit. How else could I re-position this product in a different industry? e.g I came up with: a tech biz with ~500 employees might rent the software to track all sorts of inventory / repairs etc. All suggestions welcome!

Hey Sarup, there is one story that may be interesting to you: https://www.indiehackers.com/interview/amplifr-b802261cda http://amplifr.com/ It looks like their situation was similar to yours. TL;DR they looked at what features were used the most and removed everything else. Only then scaled it.

I am based in the UK. And while it is true that I am planning to launch my product in the UK first, I eventually gonna expand this globally. So should I charge my members in dollar or in pound?

Can't you set up prices individually for different countries? I know that's possible with https://paddle.com, don't know what payment processor you're using though

I was thinking about how traditional sales have changed because of the Internet and the mindset of customers have changed to an active approach ("looking for what I need" instead of "being sold"). Wondering how do you approach the sales process for your products in this age of 'smart' customers

One simple question you can always ask yourself is: "Who are the "influencers" and how do I show them what I've made?" In my case I'm selling "Design Your Own" Twitter Canvas', so I sent a batch of A1 canvas to the PoBox of different You Tubers who do , "Mail Time" where they open mail from fans. Our product was particular good for this as the tweets are all personalised so we don't appear just like 'another company'. If one gets opened on camera: 300,000+ views for £35 pound spent. _________________________________________________________________________________ The thing with targeting influencers is that your conversion rate is 10X higher than if you go through conventional ad channels: a) 300,000 people scrolling past a Facebook Ad. b) 300,000 people watch 20 second clip of their fav YouTuber talk about how 'unique and cool' a product is. __________________________________________________________________________________ This technique of targeting influencers does not always require this much effort. Here is two other examples I've come across which have worked well: Make a new web animation framework. Send the beta version to WebDev magazines / Bloggers. Write a book about how to get a good night sleep. Ask 10 'famous' sleep experts to write a forward to the book. They then promote the book which their name is now on.
