A mistake I made early on was trying to provide a product as cheap as possible. Constantly worried that no one would pay what we asked for.
Basically being afraid to ask for the value it was really worth.
I think there was a comma/period swap, but if I'm reading correctly it looked like the product was positioned at $30 / mo?
Assuming that's correct - it's really not a meaningful amount to any company that has enough employees and management to actually be a user of the product.
I think a $30 / mo with a free 30 day trial period (once product launches and they can actually try it ;) ) that requires a credit card for the trail could have worked.
Would still need a product to actually try, but that's not much different than saying get a free trial and just taking in email addresses.
If anyone remembers the Minimalytics / Small HQ folks - I thought they did a good job with their signups. The only thing for me was I disappointed by how minimal their product was in beta. It was so basic I didn't have any use for it, and running our own startup, didn't have time to wait. We ended up building it internally.
I probably would have converted to a paying user if it was more developed at beta. Not their fault though, they did a good job I thought(if you're reading Small HQ).
