Are you considering adding any other payments types? Not a fan of paypal.

Either am I. That's why the app uses Stripe to process our own payments. What others do you suggest to add?

Dwolla might be a good alternative

Congrats for launching! I remember from thefastlaneforum.com you were developing Fendza, what happened to that project?

Thanks for sharing your launch story! Would you be willing to share the stats on the 310 emails you collected over the past 7 months? I would be interested in seeing the open & bounce rates specifically.

Shoot me an email james@freelancify.com.

I think one of the big take-aways for me was do more substantial testing before pulling all the tricks out of your hat to get traffic. Imagine if his email list had been 10,000 people, how many would have been turned off by that first impression?

Yes, true. The urge to get user validation was too much.. besides, I can always email the list again in a few weeks to let them know of fixes and enhancements. Like a 'we listened to you and here's what we did... ' email
