Right now we do not have paid accounts, but are accepting user donations. I am counting donors as people that will signup for a paid account which is obviously a big under-estimation of what I believe our true percent of paid accounts will be.
Out of 11143 total accounts, I have 179 donors in PayPal, which is 1.6% 'paying' users.
We also receives checks in the mail from bike groups occasionally (random $100-200 checks in the mail are nice!) so I would guess that brings us to around 200-220 donors total, or just under 2%.
- DenisM 16y agoWhat is your impression of the mountain bike community in general? do they like spending money? I'm thinking about writing an iPhone app for WA state mountain bikers with trail info, but there is only so many of them (e.g. 2300 registered here http://evergreenmtb.org/ http://evergreenmtb.org/) and I wonder how many would actually pay for apps.
- cullenking 16y agoWell, think of it this way: how many of the 10,000 or so active mountain bikers in washington have an iphone, and how many that do bother taking it with them on a trail? My guess is many mountain bikers that would spend money on the sport already know the trails they like to ride, or participate in online communities to find new ones. Not sure how much market there is for an iphone app to do it. Our service doesn't have much for mountain bikers (yet), so I don't have any numbers to share. This week I am building out better tracking/identification of riders, so should be able to get better insight into how different types of riders interact/value our service.
