You don't think $10 for someone's opinion is a tad pricey?

That's what, the cost of a drink (a pricey drink, but nonetheless)... It's not bad value. For a well thought out, written opinion...

Asking him to be brutally honest about himself. I like it.

It reminds me of this: (´･ω･`)

Since this is a product over email, would be less friction to support payments over Square Cash. Just ask the question and cc cash@square.com. No need to visit the website and can be done from mobile easily :)

Or it could be too cheap, maybe charging $99 is the way to go.

I can get brutal honesty on Reddit for free. (And polite honesty, also for free, from Dear Abby.)

But will it be a thoughtful, well written response?

exactly what kind of thoughtful, well written response can I expect from the landing page's example question of "Am I socially awkward?" or "Why isn't she texting me back?"

What kind of a stranger could give me actual answers to those questions?

I can imagine a few good (applicable) answers to someone who'd pay ten dollars to email someone those questions... but I can't imagine any answers that are actually worth than ten bucks.

The only thing he should be telling people willing to pay for his opinion on anything is "sucker."

I actually think this is a great idea. It's like a focus group of one (and we all know focus groups are big business).

I look forward to hearing how this goes for you.
