Growth Levers
- Begin any marketing at all — with zero marketing and a few thousand users, even modest effort could accelerate growth significantly
- Engage the Stremio community on Reddit, forums, and Discord to build awareness among addon users
- Create video demos showing the native Apple experience vs Stremio's default interface
- Optimize App Store listing with keywords, compelling screenshots, and featured user reviews
- Consider adding a subscription tier for premium features alongside the one-time purchase
- Leverage the 'overwhelmed by positive feedback' into testimonials and social proof on the landing page
First Customer Strategy
Achieved a few thousand users since August with zero marketing effort. Growth was entirely organic, driven by App Store discovery and the Stremio addon community. Positive user feedback has been overwhelming, suggesting strong word-of-mouth dynamics.
Pricing Insight
One-time purchase model. A few thousand users at a one-time price point since August suggests the revenue could be substantial depending on the price. One-time purchases eliminate recurring revenue but reduce churn concerns.
Key Takeaways
- • Strong product-market fit can drive thousands of users with literally zero marketing — the product itself is the growth engine
- • Building for an existing ecosystem (Stremio addons) provides a ready-made user base and addon library
- • Native Apple platform experiences command premium positioning in a market dominated by cross-platform compromises
- • Overwhelming positive feedback with zero marketing is a signal to invest in growth — the product has been validated
- • One-time purchase models can generate strong initial revenue but may limit long-term recurring income
