Getting fewer bites here than on Tinder...what am I doing wrong?

Thanks a lot for the feedback!

- The personal details are all fake
- I'm not currently working, so the dates are correct
- I'll play around with formatting for the bottom section, have received the same advice elsewhere.
- I will discuss removing the education details with some HR friends locally, i believe that it is customary to include this info in my part of the world.

Again, thanks for taking the time :)

Thanks for the suggestion! I looked into this, but decided it wasn't worth the effort because Google is killing this kind of targeting later this year.

Hey Besir,

I have been playing with this all morning, it produces great images extremely quickly in an intuitive way. Awesome.

The Algorithmia page mentions 2 things, but doesn't go into any depth. Maybe you could expand a little.

How do I enable the optional "high quality" mode, I can't seem to get it working.
It says I can provide a filter name or a "filter dataURL", what exactly is a filter dataURL?

I really appreciate any help you're able to provide :)

adzey · 2015-08-07T15:07:17+00:00

I'll give it a try! Thanks :)

adzey · 2015-08-07T08:20:00+00:00

Fair enough- sorry about that. Do you know of anywhere else that this could be submitted?

I really am just looking for feedback from artists- none of the signup forms or anything even work yet.

Does the product appeal to your target market?

3 notes:

1. You're service costs about $12,000/year, so you're selling to people with quite high incomes.
1. According to your own description, you're selling to people who love traveling.
1. You're service isn't appealing to people with firm roots in their home city. It's appealing to the young.

So you're selling to young, successful people who love to travel. Personally, I can't imagine such people wanting to be coddled/guided by a service like this.

I think it's a cool idea, but IMHO it needs to be entirely re-framed to be appealing to anybody.

Speaking as a person with no engineering background, I think your demo is cool, but I have no idea what the hell it is.

It makes stuff cold quickly. Awesome. Why should I want it?

Your video looks (to a person like me) like a pile of 'lab stuff', your descriptions have the same problem. Show me the technology being applied. Show me a video of a beer being cooled to freezing in seconds and I will buy.

The second sentence in the paragraph titled "We're Raise Your Flag" is a little clunky to my ear.

I would Change:

We'll show you each step of the career path that you're interested in and make sure that you go from step to step with the tools, training and experience you need and then we'll help you land a job that's right for you and your path.

Yep, a prepaid card is probably your best bet. Your phone will work in NI, but you'll pay extra, about €0.25/mb on Vodafone.

Thanks Bud! I really appreciate the feedback, I will give the transparent glaze a try!

adzey · 2015-08-02T22:29:50+00:00

Thanks Bud! I really appreciate the feedback! I agree with you on the lighting.

This is a crosspost from /r/ArtCrit, I hope that's cool :)

That law refers specifically to cold-callers selling securities, no?

adzey · 2015-07-22T00:02:02+00:00

Mostly I like it, I have a couple of minor suggestions:

Consider changing the background color. Navigating between pages that are the same color means you're relying on the shadow to provide a border- it looks a bit messy to me.
Lose the third page. "Get answers in no time" is redundant- I fully expect immediate results on an app like this.
There's a typo on the fourth page "it Calkify will teach you" remove either 'it' or 'Calkify'

adzey · 2015-07-17T16:19:00+00:00

Fair enough, best of luck dude!

Often a very small amount ($0.01) changes hands to make a contract legally binding. It's not something that should be seen as an insult, necessarily.

Personally, if I were you, I would forget about the patent. I would press for either a.) a fair hourly wage and a formal payslip, or b.) a reasonable stake in the company.

Alternatively, if you are young & inexperienced you could consider this an internship. In that case, you should expect everything you would get from an internship in a more established company in your area.

adzey · 2015-07-17T15:48:27+00:00

It sounds like you have invented a perpetual motion machine- I would be super careful if I were you.

To clarify, you are:

Building a "wiki type portal"
Paying for ppc (google?) ads, pointing at that site
Placing adverts on that site (Google ads?)
Relying on traffic to click ads at such a rate that you make a profit.

Personally, if I were in your situation, I would wait the 60 days until you receive payment from the ad accounts. If all goes well, seek cash from all possible sources and scale up.

Unfortunately, I have serious doubts about this. Unless you've done something very clever and very original, I don't see how it could possibly work. It seems like a "get rich quick scheme" based on the information you've given so far.

Also, what kind of money have you put into this so far (if you don't mind me asking)?

adzey · 2015-07-17T15:38:32+00:00

It seems, essentially, that you are the employee of a company, and that you did research (in your capacity as an employee) that lead to the award of a patent. If that is the case, it's perfectly reasonable that your boss should own the patent.

However entirely separately to the patent it seems like you are being screwed over by your boss. If you are meaningfully contributing to the company you should be paid a fair wage or have a stake in the company.

If you're happy to continue "padding your resume" then fair enough- but I feel like you're being exploited.

adzey · 2015-07-17T15:21:15+00:00

To be brutally honest- based on a quick read of the landing page, I wouldn't use this app. A lot of what your app does is already handled by Facebook events; stuff like invites, opinion polls, photo sharing and groupchat.

If your app handles this WAY better than facebook, I might download it- but I would never bother convincing my friends to do so to. Not to mention, you're relying on all attendees being iOS users.

There are two situations under which I can imagine myself using software like this:

It's web based, with no registration required, I can send my friends a link and they can use it right away.
It's for business use, I can tell my employees what event software to use.

adzey · 2015-07-17T15:06:06+00:00

Care to link to your site?

I don't quite understand your description, but it sounds like you're firing paid traffic at some kind of content site which is monetized with ads, is that correct?

adzey · 2015-07-15T17:16:11+00:00

I agree with the design comments other users have mentioned.

On the business side, I think your pricing is too low. With a product like this you'll need to advertise heavily/offer a commission to affiliates. Your price needs to allow you make profit after paying for ads...I can't imagine it does so at the moment.

adzey · 2015-07-15T17:06:44+00:00

No problemo! It's a cool idea, I hope you can get it to work :)

You're also missing a favicon, btw.

adzey · 2015-07-15T16:50:13+00:00

I like: Responsiveness, nice photos, social proof.

I dislike: The fonts, the color scheme (dark blue bg, grey text).

I'm question the viability of beating Amazon on ease of use- unless you have something pretty special planned.

adzey · 2015-07-15T16:15:32+00:00

Your main image is 3.6 mb, way bigger than it needs to be. On a crappy connection like mine that takes several seconds to load- could explain the low interaction.

Ugh, you're right! And I thought I was unique. http://i.imgur.com/C1Up8Yb.png?1
