First paying user after 100 emails

Inksprout is the second product I'm working on and I wanted to validate the idea from the very beginning.

I ran 2 experiments:

  1. Paywall
  2. Freemium

Both times, I sent out 100 emails that I found through LinkedIn.

For the paywall, I got one user who signed up for $2.99/mo plan. I also had one guy complain about having a paywall (but oh well).

For the second batch, I had 4 signups to free plan (no upgrade yet).

What do you think?

I think indiehakers shoud start with paywall to validate the idea initially.
