Pick up the phone and call potential customers or even better you could meet with them in person. Cold calling / meeting is tough in the beginning if you are introverted like I once was, but in my case the motivation to pick up the phone wa

For our small software company's email, we use Google's Postini service that runs $12/mail account/year. Emails are routed to Postini which filters the spam and then passes the good messages on to our mail server. It was pretty straight f

Nice job on the design. I never was impressed with many Pligg sites because they were just so busy - lots of links to do lots of things. You've removed those extras and now the focus is on the content rather than doing things with the con

I think the answer is "it depends". $50 isn't a a lot of money to many people so your product could still considered an impulse buy. If you look at a product that runs $25/mo, a user would look at $625 one-time fee. I'd imagine the one-tim

I agree that people prefer a sense of ownership rather than renting, even if renting is in their best interest. However, the problem with a one-time payment is that the vendor loses incentive to continue supporting the buyer after the trans

I think it's a novelty, however, I would not use a domain hack for a business unless I knew I could plug the leaks in traffic. For example, del.icio.us was a domain hack but they ended up buying delicious.com. The average Hacker News read
