0:00.0 | All right, so we are going to talk about what a good free-to-paid conversion rate is, |
0:04.8 | but first and foremost, what do we mean by free-to-paid conversion rate? |
0:09.1 | Sure. So what I mean by a good free-to-paid conversion rate is when someone ends up buying your |
0:15.6 | product or service or software, and they're signing up for a free version, and then how many of |
0:22.0 | those people actually convert into a paid user or paying customer. Yep. This is written by |
0:28.3 | his name. It's hard to pronounce his last name. It's Lenny Richitsky. So he's a product guy. |
0:33.6 | He's got a great newsletter. A lot of people in tech subscribed to him, and he's got a lot of |
0:37.4 | data to share. He actually interviews a lot of people working in tech. And so here is a table |
