First paying customers at $1 Feedback

The feedback toaster launched as an experimental side project but now I have my first paying customers, I'm so happy :)

There is still so much to improve, especially the review videos but the basic concept is up and running. You can order a video review or a feedback text from m

    I think a lot of people are missing the point

    The 1 dollar price is genius...

    its a gimmick..a hook to get you in the door to gauge interest in an EXPERIMENTAL side project..

    And isn't the point of all this to make a few bucks from something we have created to give us independence ?

    McDonalds + Burger King & Wendy's do it - Its call the DOLLAR MENU .

    But when you look to the left..you can see the $10.00 items

    When my newest site

    SOCIALBALLONS goes live..I will spend some money with this guy

    Initial thoughts: This has been attempted before. At $1, you're really devaluing your time. Even if it takes you 10 mins to do a review, that's $6/hr. I'd bet it takes you considerably longer, including all time spent uploading and posting the review. If anybody would pay $1, I'm sure they'd pay more. I'm also not sure feedback from a random stranger, likely not in your target market, is even very valuable. And it will likely lead you to waste time pursuing irrelevant feedback instead of trying to focus on talking to people in your target market.

    Congrats on your launch, but sorry that’s just price dumping and you will see, you won’t be able to hold that price for too long.

    I thought about making a business of giving feedback and I wouldn’t even start under 500€, because the time it takes to go through every point, check performance and seo and responsiveness takes just a lot of time.

    Sorry that I don’t see that so positive. But I will watch one video of your feedback process.

    I like the idea and I am even one of your first customers, would love to know more about this service and how it's working ;)

      Thanks Mehdi, you are almost my first customer :) I'm bootstrapping this service and at the moment I'm doing the reviews on my own. I think tomorrow I can launch the next version where other people can join in to make reviews too.

    damn , I love your site and the concept too

    the price makes it very affordable

    My question is..who does the site reviews..is it just you..or do you have some people ?

    Just asking because I need several pairs of fresh eyes to review my site .

      Hi SUPERViLLAiN,

      at the moment it's just me but I'll get more people on board if the number of requests increases. I'm still trying to find the best style for the reviews, for example I can make "exploration videos" where I sign up to a site and explore it a bit, or I could make short reviews where I first learn about the page and then condense it into a short overview.

      I just took a look at SearchTile.com, it seems pretty cool and I'd totally review that :)

      Hi Josh! For a feedback email it's $1 and for a video review it's $10.
