Hi Zach,
Thanks for the kind response.
I have hundreds using the product right now β very early days β and totally side of desk for me as I have a REAL job.
Not everyone of course would join a community and the purpose of the community may drive whether they do or not.
Gotta say, excited about this and how you've put this together Tightknit team
A few thoughts/comments:
Momentum feels like a big jump for a bootstrapped product founder (definitely ok for early startups at seed+). At bootstrapped you're capital is thin to none. I think Growth could be a better starting point for many sticking their toes into the water of community.
My side hustle at https://jobtrawlers.com would be a great fit for this, but I'm honestly maxed and the idea of another surface to manage (even though I've used Tightknit multiple times, worked in the community space, and love what it brings to a product) β feels like too much right now as a solo bootstrapped founder with a full-time day job too.
What could a skinnier version of this look like? β maybe it's the 4 weeks of programming to level up founders and get them thinking strategically about how and when community can fit in best
Wonder if an idea here could be a combo of early startups and bootstrapped product founders alongside graduates of a "build your first community" cohort that could help those founders execute on and run their communities (even lightly part-time) when capital is tight and resources thin
Running into an issue in ProductBCβs community. Tightknit Hub is displaying bold as if there is a message, but going into it, there is no message. Tried clearing Slack cache but doesn't resolve it.
It's often surprisingly accurate Shannon O.. The goal should be to move from one to another, and to figure out how to get them.
Surprising how often folks want better engagement than most SaaS typically convert at. For example:
Free to visitor β Typically 2β5%. Top-performing SaaS sites push 7β10%
Visitor β Paid Customer: Much lower β usually 1β2% of total site visitors.
Free Trial β Paid: This is where the real game is. Opt-in free trials convert around 8β15%. Opt-out trials (credit card required upfront) hit 25β60%, but attract fewer signups to begin with.
