Using tools like Amplitude or Mixpanel can help visualize user signups and other metrics effectively, allowing you to track growth and engagement.

Track the number of paying customers to measure growth; increasing customer acquisition rates can demonstrate to investors how quickly you're scaling.

When measuring customer acquisition cost (CAC), focus on active, monetized users rather than just sign-ups, as many may drop off shortly after registration. This ensures you're tracking the cost of retaining valuable users.

To collect data, instrument your tracking by defining user events, such as signups and video plays, to understand user behavior and engagement.

The virality of a product can be assessed by its conversion rates at each step of the user journey, from invites to sign-ups.

For consumer startups, tracking headline user growth is crucial because monetization often comes later, and a good growth rate is 15% month-over-month, which can lead to a 5x increase in user base annually.

Track the right metrics, focusing on returning usage, NPS, and paying customer renewal rates to gauge product market fit.

Monetization metrics should reflect how much revenue you generate weekly, comparing it to previous weeks to gauge growth.

Returning usage is a key indicator of product success; track how many users return within various time frames after signing up.
