I have an app that sells data, it’s in a niche and there’s a real need for it. The data is priced per record and is a credit system where the price goes down if you buy in bulk. The cost is in line with similar services in my niche. I offer 5 free credits to test the service. Right now I’m running into a couple of issues on conversions.

1. People sign up but never user their free credits
2. People use one or all of their free credits but never place a paid order
3. People place an order and get a quote but never approve the order (this is when you actually buy credits)

The free credits are supposed to be a risk reversal so you can test the service and see that the data is good. Another risk reversal I added is that we will refund credits for any data we aren’t able to get.

To clarify, for a side hustle the business is doing ok, we’ve delivered over 5k+ in paid credit orders (5 figure revenues), but I know it can be optimized more.

I’ve also set up different nurture emails to go out for various stages like new account created but order not placed, order placed but not converted, and ordered with free credits but not converted.

Would love some recommendations on what I should do to get more real orders. People are coming in the door which is great, now I just need them to spend money!

My shed is finally built! I didn’t think about what to do for ceiling insulation and I realized there’s no ventilation. I used rockwool on the underside, and was planning on doing batts on the inside, but now I’m questioning it since there won’t be any airflow on the ceiling. Is spray foam the only option?

After a ton of research on different threads and over a year of thinking it wasn't possible, I finally got it to work. Sharing this setup for anyone else who has Sonos and wants to be able to use their DJ table on it.

It hinges on having a Sonos soundbar. I have the Arc, but I suspect it might work with other Sonos soundbars that have an HDMI input.

1. Run the RCA output cables from the deck to an Analog to Digital Audio converter.
2. Use the Optical to HDMI converter cable that comes with the Sonos soundbar.
3. Plug the HDMI cable into the soundbar and into the Optical to HDMI converter cable.
4. Plug in the Analog to Digital converter to the power source and play some music. With luck, it will work right off the bat. If not, no worries, you have to trick the Sonos into thinking it's hooked up to a TV. You may have to re-run the Sonos TV Setup. In your Sonos app, go to settings->system -> (your speaker or room) -> TV Setup. This fixed any issues I had. Make sure to keep playing music so you know when it's working.
5. Once it's working on the soundbar, you can select that input to play on other speakers you have as well.

Hope this helps someone. I searched everywhere and couldn't find this solution detailed. People just say you have to deal with the latency.
