Hard to day without details about what the project is, how you get traffic, what you spend the $3k on etc.
Is there any chance you can give a bit more information?
Based on what you have said I would try to talk to some of your end users. There are numerous JS plugins that allow your users to give feedback, chat to you in real time, track mouse movements.
In addition you can email your list of subscribers with a personable and friendly email asking for help. Maybe something like this:

Hi Dom

The general point is gather information from your user base. Work out who they are, where they hang out. You may figure out better ways to market your site based on this to get better conversion rates and more subscribers.
Also check that the free version is positioned right so there is incentive to upgrade. Patio11 wrote a good blog post about this topic once - I can't remember the url but somewhere in here: http://www.kalzumeus.com/blog/ http://www.kalzumeus.com/blog/
- killthisacc 12y agoThank you for your reply. I spent $2k for high-quality content and $1k for designs. I expect users to generate content, but right now all of them are just readers. I get traffic from reddit, twitter, etc. Basically, people read articles and that's it. They share content, like it on facebook, etc, but never actually comment nor produce its own content.
- bbcbasic 12y agoSo you need to find out why they are not commenting or adding content. Can you reveal the url? Or if you don't want to post here, email me the url on my profile (https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=bbcbasic https://news.ycombinator.com/user?id=bbcbasic)
