Some feedback:<p>Your site repeatedly crashed my phone browser. I had to check it out on a tablet to see it at all.<p>I don&#x27;t see any means for writers to sign up.<p>I don&#x27;t see prices.<p>As others have noted, your site has grammatical errors and misspelled words. Given that your product is writing, this is just deal breaking.<p>I work for a different service that I really like. I am skeptical of your business model here. In a nutshell, it seems rather canned and inflexible.<p>It also looks very controlling. I realize you are framing that as a feature, not a bug. It looks like a bad model to me. It also looks like a black box.<p>It also comes across as egomaniacal and braggarty. This just makes me feel like you are full of hot air.

After finding this ~2-months old Medium post* strongly advocating for showing pricing upfront, I&#x27;m now curious to know why they changed their &quot;philosophy&quot; and if and in what way it affected their pricing.<p>* <a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;thepub&#x2F;publoft-has-upfront-pricing-heres-why-fb6bc7670182" rel="nofollow">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;medium.com&#x2F;thepub&#x2F;publoft-has-upfront-pricing-heres-...</a>

I will never understand ads for and blogs about writing that aren&#x27;t themselves proofread first.

As someone who already does the service you’re offering as a freelancer, I’m curious what you’re paying writers.<p>In my experience, agencies of this sort are almost always low-grade content mills that pay writers next to nothing.

Looks interesting. Given your service is all about writing, you should fix the spelling errors in your landing page (&quot;luckilly&quot; was one that jumped out at me).

YMMV but personally, I never use (or even consider) a service that doesn&#x27;t show it&#x27;s price up front.

How much does it cost? Usually if a website does not reveal the price or even offer a range I just close it and move on.<p>&quot;If I have to ask, I can&#x27;t afford it&quot;

„We manage blogs ... so the owners don&#x27;t have to.“<p>On a first look someone who has not run content-marketing before will say: „WOW...great...no work for me“.<p>My experience in having run content-marketing campaigns for various products is that you really have to define what you want to achieve with the content. Otherwise it is a waste of time (huge factor) and obviously money which you would have better spend running ads.<p>Do you want to purely do SEO content to drive traffic to your site? Possible with an outsourced service.<p>„You don&#x27;t need a rocket scientist to plan out your content.“ Wrong. Wrong. Wrong.<p>Do you want to build an audience around your company&#x2F;brand? First: this is a gigantic time&#x2F;resource commitment which MIGHT pay off longterm in a big way. From my experience this is very hard to do right using someone external who is not in someway affiliated with the company itself.

I’m one of your prospective customers. But I have no idea how much the service costs!

How much are you planning to charge.<p>Also in my past experiences, there needs to be retrospective of what worked and what did not. Provision to include analysis to arrive at data driven decisions will add a lot of value to your service.
