The increase in revenue was primarily attributed to an increase in sales of virtual goods revenue from Paltalk, increased revenue from Vumber as well as an increase in ManyCam revenue
The first question, what is driving subscription revenue growth and is it sustainable? What percent of growth comes from existing subscribers spending more time and money on your platform, for example, ManyCam or is it reflective of new subscribers and new room topics? Jason Katz We attribute the revenue growth to better revenue per user from existing registered users and more efficient use of paid acquisition of new users
Our near-term business objectives are the following with a keen eye on profitability and enhancing shareholder value, leveraging our integration of the ManyCam product into Paltalk through up-selling initiatives, further optimizing marketing spend to effectively realize a positive return on our investment, evaluating ways to optimize and reduce expenses, continuing to explore strategic opportunities, including, but not limited to, potential mergers or acquisitions of other assets or entities that are synergistic to our businesses, continuing to defend our intellectual property
