How much should I charge for a database?
Hi,
I recently launched OutreachSpot. It's a guest post database, consisting of 1100+ websites that currently accepts guest post submission.
I have priced it at $29/mo, and I also ran a few deals here and there for $19/mo. But nothing worked.
So, I am thinking of increasing the free trial to 7 days and reducing the price to $8.99/mo.
I am charging a monthly fee because, I actually add extra guest post websites for your particular niche every month, without any extra cost. So, if you can't find guest post submission sites from a particular niche, just send me a message and I will get it added.
I am just confused as to how much should I price it for?

People in guest-posting/link building niche already knows how to find and reach their potential places. Your business model is based on few google search operators with specific keywords which returns loads of sites where guest posting is possible (and in lot of cases they want something back, money or reciprocal article with a link). Google doesn't like it, it's under their "non-natural links" umbrella. You would probably had more success if you do some serious time-saving service, for example expand your service to something like matching people who want outreach (post articles) and people that would accept those articles, focus on several main niches and if it works, start to expand niches and earn somewhere in the process, 5usd-10 usd per successfully posted article or whatever.
Thanks for the reply @Dotz. I totally understand what you are saying. But, not every guest post submission site is involved in "non-natural links". I can do the time-saving service that you recommend but the competition is just so fierce that people are actually trying to sell "bulk guest post submissions" just to make any "good profit". The tool that I have made is mainly for marketing agencies or people operating different websites in different niches. I have done the filtering using Ahrefs data so that the spammy sites couldn't make their way into the database (at least that's what I am trying to do). Anyways, thanks for the points, appreciate your concern!
