Would you pay 50€ to get a video of practical UX feedback + advice for your product? (from a 8y experienced designer)

This is a good "top of the funnel" service that lets you show your value and sign up some clients for longer-term consulting engagements.

This is a fairly inexpensive way for a startup to pay a small fee for some quick, first-impression advice from a credible source. For you, the asynch nature of the service makes it easy to work around your existing job/clients.

I think this is a nice replacement for the traditional "intro meeting free" that consultants usually do. Charge something so you qualify the prospect, make it asynch so it's not a drain on your schedule, and if you can provide valuable advice then you're setting up a longer consulting engagement when the startup can afford it.

It also builds up your list for courses, e-books, newsletters, and whatever else you're doing.

Hey Jim, I think I would pay for this. When I read the title, I thought you were talking about a generic video targeted to a non-specific audience, but getting a customized video for the product I want makes total sense and it's really valuable.

What I would suggest, is to emphasize the fact that you're an industry expert and have the experience. To be honest, I don't think I got that feeling from watching the example video.

I could get the same type of advice from a friend. Your value proposition is that you have the authority and know what you're talking about, that's what you need to convince me of first before I give you my money.

The quick answer is that people ARE paying for this productized service. I used to offer it as part of an introductory service to larger SaaS enterprise projects. I've let the SSL expire, so don't be scared if you're warned about accessing the page, but go ahead and check it out on how I've positioned it and season it to taste: http://userx.io/the-ux-audit/.

Good luck, Jim!

I wouldn't pay 50€ for a 2 minute video like that.

IMO, the feedback was a bit generic. Basically you told him to add a search field to the company list page. I could've provided the same info, if not more.

A better deliverable from an expert in UX would have been a quick wireframe or mock-up that showed a search field, how the search would be performed, how the user would select the companies, and how that would look/function.

2 minutes != 50€ ($60 USD)

Though, if you can get a list of satisfied customers providing 2 minute videos for that amount, let me be your partner :) I'll do that kinda work all day long!

I would be interested.

I think you could build a general video going through practical UX tips and improvements from a bunch of different projects and sell that for 50€.

While doing a fortune with that you can do per project consulting at a much higher rate from the requests you'll receive as a byproduct of the general video.

Once you get rich please remember of this comment and buy me a beer.

Hey Jim! I think I would pay for this. A quick review from a UX expert that can quickly detect low-hanging fruits to improve the UX of my product would be helpful. I'm sure my product (which is still not a v1 yet) has lots of 'UX facepalms moments', but it's hard to notice them being in the trenches. I would also pay for the same concept but to receive feedback from the copy.

I think you're selling yourself short. Yeah it's cheap, but how much value could that really bring? I know that UX designers are particularly data-driven and it would be much more impactful to the saas founder to get optimization suggestions that has a high chance of making a meaningful impact over just 10 minutes of random commentary.
You have 8 years of experience man! I would much rather to pay $300 for you to give me actionable insights (that aren't too time intensive for you to produce) over $50 for commentary.
In the end, you could easily end up with dozens/hundreds of success stories due to much stronger and deeper suggestions.
