I am looking for guidance on building models for subscriber growth to a B2C software app. We have existing channels of distribution (partners) that refer business to us and we provide an offline service today with a cd-rom based deliverable. We are moving to offering less offline service and are building a web app with a monthly subscription. Interest and demand are present however we are trying to build our models and projections to determine how many subscribers we will have at X date, including many factors (i.e. acquisition cost, attrition, etc.)
I thought I remember seeing Sean Ellis talking about how to get"traction" with subscriber growth in a viral approach but cannot find the post. Any input on how to project subscriber growth, attrition, refund rate, etc would be appreciated. We do not expect to use a lot of marketing dollars on advertising but rather use existing channels to fuel growth. Thanks, @gesco
