Have you validated there is a market for this and which segment of bloggers that is? And that people would be willing to pay for reviews of drafts?<p>I'd imagine people like blogging for many reasons including:<p>* it's free-form and easy<p>* it's immediate, i .e. my thoughts on the interweb now<p>* it's free or relatively cheap (less hosting/domain)<p>This concept might fly in the face of some of these reasons so market need would be the first thing I'd validate.<p>Also, I'd likely want someone reviewing my drafts who has relevant domain expertise. So if I write about business, a blogger writing about celeb/pop culture may not be the best fit.<p>I'm unsure there is a large need, but I may just fall way outside of the target demo so just my $.02. Good luck.<p>BTW - Agree with JangoSteve that a 12 min intro video is way too long.
I think this is a good idea, as it's something I've struggled with. I started watching the video thinking I'd get the usual 2-3 minute intro, but instead was greeted with a 12 minute video for a Wordpress plugin!<p>It took 3 minutes just to recap the couple hundred words in the paragraphs leading into the video. You could probably skip the instructions on how to install a Wordpress plugin. Combined with the sub-par audio quality, I just ran out of patience.<p>I'll probably give it a soon though when I get back to the computer.
The concept is good.<p>* Get a clear simple landing page - take wordy.com as a guideline<p>* Focus more on repuation / P2P and less on paying in the explanation<p>* Let customers pay quicker pickup and response or if they insist to have it just reviewed by the "best" of the community<p>* Intro categorization of users if you haven't already (sorry video too long)
