I think this site and the amount of hate/doubt I've received is driving me insane. Sorry.

You're saying the picture with the bank statement? Or are you talking about the Official Rules portion?

That's fair feedback. I appreciate it. The website is what I do for fun, so there's no professionalism. I literally make no money from the site. If you think the site is a scam (or if you just want to say Hi), you're free

Only problem is charging money is illegal. I was thinking of "implying" that you may have to pay one day, and having the register button say "Sign up for your free trial", which will be an infinitely long free trial. B

Thanks for the feedback. This is great. Hmmm, I'll try removing the countdown timer. The site does use a template. I actually tried making it look generic because I went with the approach of "this website is owned by 1 person an

I'm running into this problem on my startup website ( http://muxme.com ). I've found that the more evidence I provide that the site is real, the more people start to question it. I.e. I post pictures of the receipt of

I'm learning this with my website ( http://muxme.com ), which is only a month old. I've pivoted about a hundred times, which makes me question what truth is, because literally every bit of copy, UX flow, and strategy ha

Yeah I've definitely considered it. It's on my list of things to do, but I'm also sort of experimenting with the website and trying to optimize the user experience and make the site fun.

Changing it to "How It Works" was a really good idea. Thanks.

The more people that enter the giveaways, the less of a chance you have to win. There's a guaranteed winner every time and your odds are 1/(total number of entries).

Thanks, I've had my ups and downs the past month but contacting the winners and hearing their responses is what keeps me going. I appreciate the comment. I agree that if I had a business guy that could do a solid pitch that I could ge

That's very valuable feedback. Thank you for telling me that you thought I was listing random free items and made money with affiliate links. I like the idea of making an extremely visible "about" at the top of the page so

Yeah, the prizes are paid for out of pocket by me. It's not the most expensive project in the world, let's say I average $50/day ($1,500/month) in gift card costs and $10/month on a server. I live in a 42 square f

1) I post a receipt of the item, have a video drawing of the sweepstake, and post the tracking number of the package after it's sent out. Short of revealing the winners name, I don't know what other proof I can provide (although

I'm running into the growth problem with my website: http://muxme.com . Lots of people say the love the website, but it seems like no one is telling their friends. I was thinking of maybe adding user created sweepstakes,
