What's your monetization strategy? (Really nice pitch deck btw)

i want to charge 1 dollar monthly but this can change on the future, now i have focus on how to scale the produc, my users want to use my product but i can no longer pay for the servers

[toomuchtodo]

Have you considered charging a dollar annually (like WhatsApp previously did) and seeing if current users will pay? If you’re out of funds, and have no seed round lined up, why not attempt to monetize immediately?

Also, have you explored if Amazon has any accelerator programs you’d qualify for to get some AWS credits to tide you over (paging jeffbarr).

The issue with charging early is you might lose that explosive growth.

if i can not get funds so i will monetize my app but i want to try first to get funds and to hire more people and to work together

How long can you survive without funds? If your app dies, all your growth will be wasted.

Edit - I checked out your app and saw that you had to disable some features. If I were in your shoes, I would pull a Whatsapp and monetize immediately. As it stands, you don't have any power and major power imbalances tend not to work out in the founder's favour.

yes, i will think how to monetize do you have tips to have the same monetization like whatsapp on early days? is there a tool or software to monetize easily?

toomuchtodo gave you some excellent advice:

$1 per year might not completely solve your cash flow problems, but it will bring some money in and give you some powerful evidence to help with your fundraising.
