It's a niche market so you need to be aggressive if you want it to be sustainable. You might consider zeroing in on that Business tier and see if you can quietly sell it to ~10 customers as beta users. That would give you a revenue stream to grow the rest of the business.
The cheapie accounts will be very low return / high maintenance. The real sustainability of the business is all going to be $100/mo and up (even that is too cheap).
last but not least, you might use this as an opportunity to build your personal social presence. Start tweeting/blogging your entrepreneurial journey. might consider starting a DevOps podcast, sponsored by your app.
- karmakaze 8y agoThanks for your perspective. I think I just wanted to 'release' and get it into many hands quickly without as much consideration for operating the business. The cheap accounts were either to help spread the word or if it didn't offer enough value for the $100+ plan. I thought of doing the blog/tweet thing after launch, but your suggestion sharing the journey first makes for good marketing. [Co-incidentally my day-job makes a live podcast-like platform getdialog.am which can promote each other.]
