We got our churn rate from a whopping 12.3% peak down to 2.7%.
I'm the founder of Stagetimer, a bootstrapped $10k+ MRR B2B app and this is how we reduced our churn sustainably in 3 steps, and the lesson learned... 👇
Step 1:
Analyzed why people churn. Found no. 1 reason is usage pattern of our product. Most people use it for a single event and then cancel.
We already had a dedicated 10-day "Event" plan, but users preferred the 30 days of the monthly plan.

We grew our Google clicks from 0 to 3,500/month in ~1.5 years.
In hindsight, easy.
But what if you are at 0 right now? What should you do?
I didn't have funding. I didn't have experience. We only had our wits.
This is how we did it ... 1. The first problem was not keyword research, or article word count, or a content calendars.
No.
Just one simple question: Who needs my thing?
Stagetimer was hideous and had only a single feature: Count time in the browser.
My assumption: Video producers and event managers!

I'm going to get rich and this is how I’m going to do it.
Now don’t take me wrong, I’m not rich yet.
I did my CS degree and worked as a software developer just like my parents expected.
Every day I worked for my 80k/y startup job.
Then last month I was laid off.
...
Because of that I started looking for another job. But I don't want to have another job. Working for someone else makes me miserable.
So I canceled my interviews.
