Ask HN: How do we go from 1K subscribers to 10K?

by daverad on 6/24/16, 3:46 PM with 9 comments

At Holstee we have about 1k paying members for our monthly subscription, we have an nps of 87 (and climbing), our monthly churn is about 4%, our site converts at about 0.6% of visitors and the qualitative feedback from our customers is really positive - are these enough data points to say we have product market fit? If so what are the most effective ways to get us from 1K to 10K subscribers?

    I'm asking because I have the same question, just on a smaller scale.

    Is it more than a matter of just repeating what you did to get your first 1K customers? Because it seems like you're killing it, already, to get to 1000. I'd LOVE to be in that situation, but it's a different model of business.

    It'd be interesting to hear how you got from 0 to 1000. In any case, best of luck. :)

    Do you have any paid acquisition channels that work, or is all growth currently through word of mouth?
