I saw a tweet by @jason (https://twitter.com/Jason/status...) this morning that triggered my side-project tourette's. so I went ahead and made this.
Would love to know what you think.
@marceglon my gosh you are a talented designer/product manager. This looks epic.... note: people will not pay, so i would go for getting as many people as possible THEN ask them to donate. right now it feels like a paid product and is confusing. just make it free then beg for money.
Thanks for the support @jason - really means a lot. And yep, the conversion data supports your intuition on pricing, so I'm experimenting with dropping the entry price to zero.
Great idea - I just added Baratunde's original audio version of @jason's article that inspired this as an example. Can't promise that it'll be @baratunde that reads 'em though.
So I did $5 right now, but I'd probably pay around $10 or at the maximum $15 per month.
Yea upfront value would be good to see, if I saw a playlist, easy way to request, being able to sample 15 seconds of each - all that would show me the upfront value I think.
My segment profile:
I subscribe to Audible (for the past 4 years), approx. 3 books a month, listen to Tim Ferris's podcasts. I love reading but can't sit still. I like taking notes, code or going for a walk when I listen. Don't have time for any other podcasts, I say I will listen to a16z podcasts but rarely do.
I try to keep up with key blogs (mentioned earlier), I keep saving links from Twitter to Pocket (about 2 each day) but the last time I opened the Pocket app to read was 3 months ago.
So yea hope you make a business out of this; I am sure there are other segment profiles as well (9 to 5 commuters) that are the type that would pay for it.
