I share a wrap-up of 2024, discussing both successes and challenges with Podsqueeze. I reflect on our disappointing growth compared to 2023 and the importance of sustainable marketing, particularly through SEO, which significantly increased our traffic. I analyze our MRR growth of 18% and the ongoing issue of churn, which remains a focus for 2025. I also touch on personal insights regarding my relationship with my co-founder and the need for confidence in our journey. Lastly, I outline goals for 2025, including reducing churn and exploring new monetization avenues.Contact InformationTwitter: <a href="https://x.com/wbetiago" rel="nofollow">https://x.com/wbetiago</a>Tools and Websites&#34;Podsqueeze&#34;: &#34;00:01:14&#34;&#34;SEO&#34;: &#34;00:03:42&#34;&#34;Flarecut&#34;: &#34;00:18:30&#34;&#34;Auto Shorts&#34;: &#34;00:21:37&#34;Metrics and Concepts&#34;Domain Authority&#34;: &#34;00:04:56&#34;&#34;Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)&#34;: &#34;00:08:30&#34;&#34;Churn Rate&#34;: &#34;00:10:35&#34;&#34;Keyword Research&#34;: &#34;00:04:56&#34;&#34;Backlinks&#34;: &#34;00:04:56&#34;&#34;Conversion Rate&#34;: &#34;00:15:02&#34;Timestamps by PodSqueezePodcast Introduction (00:00:08)  Tiago introduces the episode, reflecting on the year 2024 and sharing lessons learned.Disappointment in Growth (00:01:14)  Tiago discusses feelings of disappointment regarding Podsqueeze&#39;s growth compared to the previous year.Sustainable Marketing Focus (00:03:42)  The realization of needing a sustainable marketing strategy leads to a focus on SEO starting in late 2023.SEO Success (00:04:56)  Tiago shares the achievements in SEO, including significant traffic growth and improved domain authority.Monthly Recurring Revenue Growth (00:07:16)  The company&#39;s MRR grew by 18%, which Tiago considers a decent achievement in a competitive market.Churn Rate Challenges (00:10:35)  Tiago addresses the ongoing challenge of customer churn, which remains a focus for improvement in 2025.Marketing Experimentation (00:12:52)  The team experimented with various marketing channels, including YouTube and TikTok, yielding mixed results.Conversion Rates Insights (00:15:02)  Tiago explains the importance of conversion rates and how they vary by marketing source.Co-founder Relationship Dynamics (00:17:21)  Tiago reflects on the close relationship with his co-founder and the challenges faced during tough times.Seasonality Effects (00:18:30)  The impact of seasonality on business performance becomes evident, particularly during the summer months.Lessons from New Product Attempts (00:19:23)  Attempts to replicate success with new products prove difficult, highlighting the unpredictability of entrepreneurship.Market Timing Realizations (00:20:28)  Tiago discusses the significance of market timing and how competition affects new product launches.Mindset and Perspective (00:22:47)  Tiago emphasizes the importance of mindset in evaluating business performance and overcoming feelings of inadequacy.Podcast TimestampsConfidence and Mindset (00:24:54)  Tiago discusses the importance of maintaining a positive mindset and confidence in the company&#39;s growth.Time as an Asset (00:25:53)  He emphasizes that time is the most valuable asset for entrepreneurs, more than money.Delegation and Investment (00:26:57)  Tiago reflects on the importance of delegating tasks to expedite growth and improve quality.Future Goals for 2025 (00:28:04)  He shares his aspirations for 2025, including salary goals and reducing customer churn.Self-Reflection and Learning (00:29:07)  Tiago expresses his growth as an entrepreneur and the lessons learned throughout the year.Excitement for the Future (00:30:17)  He concludes with enthusiasm for the upcoming year and invites listeners to engage with the podcast.
