You should probably have, somewhere on the homepage, a quick snippit of what the site actually is/does. "Take your Group Project or Classroom to the Next Level" doesn't really explain anything, its more of a sales pitch. Something like "Ent

I'm not sure how accurate your assumption that new users are voters on the homepage is. As a new user, most of my votes are on the "New" section rather than the homepage. I vote up the things that I think other people should (on New), rathe

Hopefully with the amount of hits and new users the site is getting, quality doesn't decline. HN has (In a matter of 4 days) taken the #1 spot on my "TechNews" bookmark folder, so as of now the article quality is great. As a new user, I'm q

Would there be a way to connect with a bank account (that way transactions would be added automatically). I don't know if banks allow you into that or not for security purposes. Nice design, and love the video. The ease of use seems to be k

I don't know the exact details of your situation, and I can't say I've ever experienced what you're going through but I think it can be boiled down to a simple question. Are you doing what you love? I think dealing with the frustrations is

Well, I think it is. If you have 100,000 users on your website, and no way of making money , you're in pretty good position. Some brainstorming and figuring out how to implement ads and you're set. If you have 1,000 users and a great way of

I think each one has a different model for making money. A lot of them dont have one at all. The value in their business is having a lot of people using their website (twitter for example). Twitter has a very limited way of making money as

Id say your first point is correct. I mis-wrote when I said "right". Anyone can say think or feel whatever they want. The problem here is people are up in arms as if neo nazis ran a racist advertisement, when in reality Groupon made a comme

Contact a lawyer. I'm not one, but there are laws that protect you (probably... Do you have any trademarks, patents?). Also, You have intellectual property rights to your app regardless of patents or trademarks. If its a blatant copy, you p

I agree with the gist of what the article is saying. For example, I can understand if a person from Tibet is upset about the Groupon commercial, but a person from America? You're not upset! You just want people to think you're upset. You're

I'd say do something like this. Flat rate on initial signup + % of every recurring payment after (this way you can get away with giving them a smaller percent than if you just did straight %) $20 on Initial signup and payment + 15% of recur

Yeah, its definitely possible (I own an affiliate network). Depending on how robust the tracking software your using is, you should have that option available. Typical cut is a tougher question. What price are you thinking for as monthly su

by Jsarokin 16y ago
I'm guessing the problem is that since you dont know how long users will stay on the monthly contract for, you dont know how much each user , on avg, will make you ergo don't know what to pay affiliates for commission? Easy solution. Have y

I think that hash tags are a great way to sort through information on a website (Especially if you can do some dual hashtag where you could have #Topic1 #Topic2, and it will return queries that only have both). Not patented, they started in

Once the core product is built, launch it. There are endless ideas and features you can add. Sometimes its better for the users to watch the company grow than have the perfect product launched.

What do you have to lose? Nothing. I guess this could be analogous to applying for college. Everyone wants to know what their chances of getting in are, etc. The best thing to do is just apply and let things fall into place. You never know,

Fear of failure? If you never finish the project, you can always think / say what it could be. If you actually make it, then you have a chance to fail. I'd say write 1 of the many features your trying to work on. It could be because you're
