Immediately after reading this post I thought: "Damn, I use them for half a year and I'm really happy, I should support them" and went to website to upgrade to premium and... I couldn't find it! It was hidden as 4th option from top menu under small settings cogwheel on bottom.
Instead of all those useless (for me) statistics on front page you should put a small note like "Like us? Go premium!" to remind us that making something great needs support.
- KJasper 13y agoThe entire frontpage should be A/B-tested with some conversion experts. There is a lot of room for improvement if you look at the CTA's, buttons, comparison between free and premium, etc.
- graeme 13y agoI agree. If I stumbled on the Newsblur landing page, I wouldn't have even recognized it as a replacement for Google Reader. For instance, my eyes end on "Training". I now get that the software can be trained, but at first you wonder if Newsblur offers training. I also expect the pricing is too low. RSS is no longer mass market, but the people who use it tend to use it professionally. I will pay a LOT for something business critical that works well. As an aside, anything that is a business expense can be 50% higher, assuming a 33% average tax rate. You must earn $150 to buy a $100 consumer good, but only $100 to buy a $100 business item.
