PLG Definition
- Product-led growth (PLG) uses your product for customer acquisition, engagement, and monetization.
- It's a multi-dimensional approach impacting the entire business, not just a free trial.
Real-World PLG
- Cologne and perfume are real-world examples of PLG.
- Customers can try the product (e.g., with scent samples) before purchasing.
Free Trial and PLG
- A free trial is considered PLG if users achieve real value within the trial period.
- True PLG prioritizes value delivery before monetization.
