Just a thought, but maybe consider offering the ladies a bigger percentage? They're the ones doing the actual answering and you're taking 50%... Or, maybe increase the cost per que…

Thanks for your response. I actually don't know how wealthy the group is/will be because I haven't actually figured out the target just yet. I have an idea of who the product will …

Thanks for that, they'll definitely be additional plans! :)

It's more subtle than that: you need to discover what the current features are worth to people. You might be surprised to find that value is higher than what you would think, regar…
