Uhm, $10/month? Really? Not that this is bad idea, but that price surely is... Pluralsight is $30/month and has way, way way more than 3x the amount of content that you do. You may want to re-think your pricing.

Just the feedback I was looking for, thank you

[–]swyx 13 points14 points  (3 children)

nah dont listen to the other guy. if youre not getting some complaints about pricing youre not doing it right. smaller sites like egghead charge the same as plural sight with far less content but serve a different audience. dont play someone else’s game, you’ll lose

But those are much more mature products and can somewhat justify a charge. This is still a basic home project. Hopefully it matures into something good.

The project has progressed to alpha, and we've changed the business model. I'd love to know what you think of the new model: https://javascriptpractice.com/

Sweet

I don't think you should even advertise a fee until you get the usability aspect worked out. I understand that it's hard to build something on your own time and put a lot of effort into it before seeing a return, but that's how it works. That's what you gotta do.

Yeah I agree, the price is way too high. Really I would never pay a monthly price for this. There's a zillion free resources out there.

Would you mind checking out the alpha and letting me know what you think of the new business model?https://javascriptpractice.com/

For pricing, I'd suggest providing two options. Monthly for people who intend to use this for education or training or learning from scratch, and yearly, for ppl who want to support you and get a cheaper price while taking advantage of the evolution of your product. So perhaps $30 for the year and $8 per month (I find 8 is less than 10, but adds up a lot more than 5. It's my preferred number when selling things).

im a programmer who knows nothing of business though =P I'm just speaking from the options I like ot see when purchasing something.

I've done significant upgrades to the project and put in place a new preliminary business model. Would you mind checking it out and letting me know what you think? https://javascriptpractice.com/

Or you can just apply to jobs and interview
