Part of me thinks if you made "starting contests" free for customers, you'd get more traction. On the other hand the other part of me thinks that you've already tried this approach, or at least thought about it. So, which part of me is right?

Also two tiny notes about your front page:

1. I, personally, get really pissed when I'm informed about fees of a service in any step of the process other than the first one. So, I'd suggest show the fees somewhere above the fold.

2. This is more of a UX thing. In the "How it works" box, make the titles clickable.

I love the idea. Simple, yet has a lot of potential. Will be start my own contest someday soon.

Rock on.



Hi Hamid, (full disc: we've worked alongside Hamid, awesome coder).

1. Good point about knowing about the fees upfront. Will update in our next release. Somehow went missing after experimenting with pricing too often.

2. They are clickable. Aren't they? Uh, oh... What OS/browser? Opens Vbox

Would love to iterate faster with more engineers. Any chance we can poach you from setkick.com?

Thanks again.


The titles such as "Award a Winner" are not clickable for me either on Windows 7 Chrome 17.


> They are clickable. Aren't they?

Nope.

> Uh, oh... What OS/browser?

Windows 7: Chrome 17, Firefox 10, Firefox 11, IE9


Definitely agree with #2, I spent a little too long trying to click the titles. The "Next Step" button should also be a color other than white so it stands out more.

I think this is an awesome idea, though! Will definitely use it in the future.
