A comment on How I got my first thousand users.

Congrats to the OP, but I am assuming that these are 1000 users who are on a 'free' account? If so, I'd be interested in hearing about strategies to convert these free accounts into paid subscriptions in the future, or monetising them in some other way. I assume that is the end goal of SiteGuru? To be profitable in some way?

About 90% are on a free account, most others on a paid account through StackCommerce or similar tools.

Monetization is my next goal - and probably should have been much earlier. I'm thinking about 1 month free trials automatically converting people to a paid account after that. I would ask for their creditcard details during sign up. I'm still trying to figure out what would be the best approach.

More on that in my next post, How I Make $50 Million A Day Without Working.
