    I signed up thinking it's free, only to be asked 27$. Nowhere was this mentioned. Feels pretty sneaky. How can I delete my account?

      Hey @indreklasn Sorry for the misunderstanding, I'm gonna delete your account right away. For my comprehension, what led you to think that it was free?

        Pricing is clearly showed in the landing page. Where do you think I should also put the price to be more clear?

          PS fyi, I deleted your account and now when you click "Get Life Time Access" at the top of the page, the page scrolls to the pricing. My bad, and thanks for your feedback

    Great work, congrats on launching!

    Some feedback on your transcript:
    I think you should turn the story around into an inverted pyramid shape. First say the most important thing and then go into details, especially with an audio introduction it's not possible to skim. Building up towards a conclusion will probably just lead to people dropping out of the story more.

    I think the fourth paragraph

    My name is Matteo, I’m the founder of Painland.
    A community where entrepreneurs can share and discuss pain points instead of ideas, a place where new world issues and inefficiencies can be discovered, and the background information needed to kick-off a great business can be collected.

    should be your opening, which you can then follow by the first (We’re surrounded by failing startups, ...) . Then maybe point the user to an article that has more details about the motivation (to keep it short).

    Hope this helps!
