It's quite amazing to me that people are willing to pay ~$11 for proofreading ~100 words and won't pay 1 cent for far more technologically advanced services. This is why you have to figure out what people will pay for before you build it. Best of luck to you on this project.
- patio11 17y agoPeople do not pay for technical advancement. They pay for solving their problems. If you need 500 well written words to nail a job, a promotion, a contract, or a term paper, you will darn well pay to make sure they are perfect. People would pay for Twitter if it credibly promised jobs, promotions, contracts, and term papers.
- Mc_Big_G 17y agoPeople do not pay for technical advancement. They pay for solving their problems. Yeah, I get it. My point was that it isn't easy to find something people are willing to pay you for, no matter how simple that sounds. Also, technical advancement typically involves making something difficult and costly, easy and cheap, so I thought it was reasonable to assume that people would pay for it. I was either wrong, timed the market wrong or failed in my marketing efforts, which is admittedly not my strong point.
