Paywall explainer

Why the heck do we have a Paywall if we don’t charge any money?

 

 

Hi there!


If you have reached this page, it’s clear that you are puzzled. You might be thinking “Why the heck are these guys using a paywall to get me to sign up for an account… if they don’t charge me any money? Sounds shady…” 


It’s a valid thought. If I were in your shoes, I would think the same. So please allow me to explain.


Firstly, as the person behind SavvyMates, I can honestly say that I am not independently wealthy. Quite the opposite.
I want to grow the SavvyMates audience and I believe the way to increase the follower base of SavvyMates is by understanding who consumes our content. My thinking is that knowing who you all are will allow me to produce better content. The typical pay-to-play game stops this.

Sounds reasonable, right?


Secondly- and with total honesty - I am also driven by profit!
I am a bootstrapped founder trying to grow a SaaS business. You, signing up with your email, allows me to have a better idea of who you are exactly. And if in the future, we launch an app that I think might be of interest to someone with your profile, I can send you an email with an attractive offer. 


That’s it.
I know - this is not your typical “say nothing, but use a lot of words to cover our ass, and pray that your audience has no idea what is going on'' type of legal document.
Blame it on me being Dutch and thus very blunt in my communication.

 

Stay profitable.

 

Kind regards,
Reginald - Founder @ SavvyMates
