"Charge 3x what you think — then add a free tier"
Pieter Levels shares his counterintuitive pricing strategy: price your SaaS 3x higher than you're comfortable with, then add a generous free tier. The free tier captures top-of-funnel, and the premium price filters for serious customers with high willingness to pay. He saw a 40% revenue increase after raising PhotoAI's price from $29 → $99/mo.
Tactic: Audit your pricing this week. What would happen if you 3x'd it?
The "boring utility" SEO play that drives 80k visits/mo
Build a free tool that solves one micro-problem (JSON formatter, color converter, etc.) and embed it on a page optimized for that keyword. This "boring utility" strategy compounds — each tool becomes a permanent traffic source. One founder scaled from 0 → 80k monthly visits in 9 months with 12 simple tools.
Tactic: Identify one micro-problem your audience Googles. Build a free tool page this weekend.
Why your onboarding kills conversion (and the 3-email fix)
