Those are good points.
I don't think the goal is to have a massive user base or make a lot of money right away. It's more about signing up enough users so that the app can start marketing itself (by word of mouth). We were doing ok at $11, but we think there's a psychological difference between $11 and $5, with $5 being within the "sure, why not" territory.
- revorad 16y agoIf you want to spread by word-of-mouth, you do need to give your users something worth telling about to their friends. Any constraint is ok. Look at Instagram (filters) or Path (limited number of friends). From my perspective, you are a DailyBooth which costs money. Why not tap into all the photo apps already out there? Hook into their APIs and automatically generate albums for people. This is a great time to sell "My life in 2010" albums. Once you get people to pay you money for something, you can ask them again and they will gladly pay for other stuff too.
