Let's keep rocking!
During September 2021, the 160,800 users of systeme.io (free and paid) generated total sales of:
£50,125
$165, 923
CAD$235, 581
€4,759,952
And we kept getting amazing feedback like this one from Alex on Trustpilot:
"I switched from clickfunnels to systeme.io. I couldn’t be happier. My courses, funnels and affiliate programs are at the same place. The customer service is excellent. Highly recommended. And much cheaper !!"
https://www.trustpilot.com/review/systeme.io
Well actually it's been a while since the count stands at 144,763 (up 19% from 30 days ago).
More important we keep getting amazing feedback like this review on capterra:
"this product is by far, hands down the best in its class as of the time of me writing this review"
https://www.capterra.com/p/198994/Systeme/#reviews
It took us over 3 years to go from 1 to 1,000 customers in the English market (total active customers is 8,500), but it should take us less than 6 months to go from 1,000 to 2,000 customers
(the number of signups for the free plan in the English market has increased by 60% in the last month)

I think this is an interesting idea, and it is certainly not a bad way to get kids involved in business. However, I do have some concerns about the viability of the plan. First, it's likely that many customers will be unwilling to pay a premium for a product like this. Try this Cisco Meraki Security For Small Business New Orleans for best ideas. It's not just that they're cheap and don't want to spend more money than they need to; it's also that people aren't very good at evaluating whether something is worth paying more for.
After working on it for 6 months, we launched our free plan.
It offers most of the features we have for free:
- sales funnels builder
- unlimited file hosting
- blog builder
- unlimited email marketing for up to 1,000 contacts
- affiliate program management
- workflows
- upsells, downsells and order bumps
- membership sites

(we doubled our revenue in 2018, 2019 and 2020)
Today we have:
- 5,700 customers in the French, English, Portuguese, Italian and Spanish markets
- 30 team members in 7 different countries (our company is 100% remote)
Our goal is to get to 50 team members in 6 months, and to 80 team members at the end of 2021
In August systeme.io went from €165.571 to €174.039 in MRR (+5% increase)
It's a good result as the previous month we increased MRR by $7,500
Right now my goal is to increase MRR by at least €10,000 per month
Growth in the English market has been the strongest with an increase of 28% of the number of customers (up to 312, most of our customers are from the French market)

is Systeme.io is about funnels, creation?

yassss

Really awesome! What changed?
-
1
Not much, we've been growing by 4%-12% month over month for 2 years, so it's just the compound effect
-
We went from 250 to 281 English speaking customers in July
(right now most of our customer base is in the French market)
It's a 12% increase in a month so it's good, but since it's such a low number it's actually not that great
What do you think of this result?
Our goal for August is to grow by 22% in the English market (to get to 343 customers)
-
1
12% is pretty cool. Well done. Your Revenue seems to be decreasing. What could be the cause, people are downgrading?
-
1
We got a huge boost because of the lockdown (we grew our revenue by 50% in 3 months). Sales of online courses and coaching programs have lowered since then, but MRR due to systeme.io subscriptions keeps going up (although, slower than during the lockdown)
-
1
I see. Besides the subscriptions what are your other revenue sources?
-
2
Like I said above, apart from systeme.io subscriptions we sell online courses and coaching programs
-
2
Revenue breakdown is roughly like this:
- software subscriptions: €165k per month
- online courses: €35k per month
- coaching programs: €50k per month
-
-
-
-
We now have 5,000 paying customers of systeme.io
It's great considering that we passed 2,000 customers in September of 2019
It means a 150% growth in 10 months
I now manage a team of 24 persons in 6 different countries, all remote
We are gonna do $3M in revenue this year, my goal for 2021 is to do $5M (+66%)
Let's keep rocking!

Wow! 1.8M visits every month (https://www.similarweb.com/website/systeme.io/) How have you managed to reach that number? what is the biggest source of your traffic? Go on share some of that secret sauce for traffic/customer acquisition🤯
-

Looks like French traffic is still a dominant source of referrals according to SimilarWeb.
Any plans to expand to Asian contries such as South Korean and Japan?
How do you power your website multilingual switcher? Self-coded solution? Tried ConveyThis before? -

This is not true. Looks like they take into account all traffic going to our users pages (they can use a subdomain of systeme.io for their own pages)

Very inspired by the focus of all your marketing and messaging. I literally don’t understand what it’s about but it seems to strike a nerve with your audience very strongly. Great job!

Thank you for your feedback
Our new home page says:
"Sales funnels. Email marketing. Online courses.
Affiliate program management. Marketing automations"
Doesn't it explain what our tool does?-
1
It doesn't show how it does it. Amazed that people sign up without that.

We do have a features page though: https://systeme.io/features

I don't see any of that. Maybe because I'm in France and get a specific landing page.

Congratulations! What’s your one piece of advice that is key to this success?
-
1
Honestly it's just impossible to summarize this success to one piece of advice
I would recommend you to listen to this interview to learn the whole story:
https://mixergy.com/interviews/systeme-io-with-aurelien-amacker/
That being said, if I had to recap the main milestones it would be:- don't be afraid to dream big
- find the right developers
- create a great product
- create a great offer
- build your audience
- build a successful affiliate program

Out of 19 sales funnels: blogger outreach, SEM, SEO, affiliate, PR stunts, direct sales - just to name a few, which one was the most effective in moving the needle of attracting paid users?
My understanding is in order to attract 5,000 paid users, you need to attract 500,000 free users signing up for a free trial (100 to 1 ratio). Which marketing source did you successfully tap into in order to bring them?
In the beginning, press coverage at small niche blogs could yield some sign ups. I get that. That's Phase 1. However, at 5,000 paid users, you're at Phase 3 - the scaling process. Thus, you've already found another effective source of traffic. Affiliate? If yes, would you share any suggestions?-
1
70% of our sales come from our affiliates
-
1
You pay 40% to your affiliates for lifetime. How do you think to sustain that in the long term?
Can you elaborate on the team structure to bring in new affiliates? Who does the outreach. How is it structured? You coordinate that?-
1
I think that the more value we deliver to our affiliates, the more they promote us, so there is no plan to lower affiliate commissions
In the French market (where we have most of our affiliates) we don't do outreach (it's a self-serve affiliate program). It's all by communicating on our email list and on our Facebook group
In the English market we have a person doing outreach because we launched more recently and it's more competitive-
1
I tried to do self-served affiliate programs before, but failed. If you build it, they won't come. You still need to market it.
Thus, the question, how is your program marketed in order to become so successful? Is it #1 SEO optimized to be #1 on French Google? Is it endorsed by a French president on Twitter? How did you achieve that?-
1
Indeed if you just build it they won't come. Like any marketing channel it takes time and effort to succeed.
The key is to get your affiliates to make money, and then they keep promoting you and they tell their friends about it (we have a second tiers, which means that our affiliates are incentivized to promote our affiliate program as well)-

What's the most used feature by the 5,000 customers?
I know your customers are using all of the features but among all, one feature must be leading the others?
Sales funnels or Email marketing or Online courses or
Affiliate program management or Marketing automation? -

Congrats that's really interesting to see, but I found your tool quite hard to use, I have tested it and there's compared to wordpress or any other tool much easier to set up. There need to be easier steps to add stuff and more walkthroughs.
a bit feedback I hope you don't mind :)
Anyway again congrats and keep it up!

I am surprised because the feedback we get all the time is the opposite.
Just today someone posted this on our FB group:
"Can I just say after struggling with Kartra for the past couple months, I have taken out the trial with Systemeio and am delighted with it's simplicity so far. Brilliant! "
https://www.facebook.com/groups/251145835476950/permalink/664307114160818/
What is the feature that you didn't find easy to use? The sales funnels ? The blog builder ? Another one?
-
1
That's interesting. I've heard about kartra, but i haven't tried it. When you register and login .. you are "alone" have no clue what to click on and what to do.
Maybe Kartra is even worse, but good example of UI / UX is Thinkfic try to test once you are in.
You have like green tab, what you've done (green) and grey for other part. Get started 1/4 steps complete.. Launch your new course! The 13 steps below will teach you how to successfully launch your first course.,, and so on.
...and on your site you are like BOOM! just click on what ever you need to. Hmmm..
-

I think you are confusing UI/UX and onboarding.
Indeed there is no onboarding in place, but the feedback we keep getting over and over again about systeme.io is "it's very easy to use" and "it's easier to use than your competitors"
(including Clickfunnels, which is a $120M per year company)
Yes I know in the future we should add some onboarding but for now we have other priorities (plus if people really need it they can find a ton of resources online: tutorials, Facebook group, customer support, help pages, etc)

Sorry about that. Some of our affiliates are customers, some are people who make money online by promoting products as an affiliate. It takes time to build a successful affiliate program. We launched ours in 2017. The cool thing is that with systeme.io every person on our email list is an affiliate, so once someone is on our list we can send him his affiliate link and entice him to promote our affiliate program.
If you have more questions just let me know-

When we launched systeme.io in the French market, I split tested a classic SaaS homepage against a squeeze page-style homepage (similar to the one at timedoctor.com).
The squeeze page-style homepage was converting at 14% vs. 7% for the classic SaaS homepage!
So we went ahead with the better converting landing page. However, in the English market, where we have less street credibility and less affiliates, it just wasn't working.
So we hired an agency recently, and they came up with a really nice design.
Now we have a lot more details about our features, and a much better design.
We are gonna do a lot of split testing in order to make sure it converts well

Nice work Aurelien. Like the squeeze page style!
