I like this idea, but the price would have to be quite low for me to consider paying for it. It seems like you want people to pay to be apart of this. Not sure that's the way to build a strong, useful community.

I would think about starting with a free version, and if the community grows strong enough, people will be begging to get in. Charge them then if you want.

Yes, there will be different level prices. Basic one will be quite low.

But there will not be a free version, because asaclock will be a community of serious people that think their idea is worth some bucks per month. So spammers and trolls will be cut out.

Thank you.

Nice unbounce page ;-) (The star icons give it away) Honestly right now it's not worth anything to anyone and I'm sure you're losing potential signups. I was going to sign up until I saw that you were going to charge for it. It's way too early to do that when there's not a clear enough value prop. for anyone to do so. Take out the "I'm gonna charge you for this" and just see if people want the thing at all even if it's free. That's my $.02 :-)

Eheh, not an unbounce page. All mine on a Linode VPS.

I'll charge for this. So I'm not interested to emails of people who would not pay for it. According to your idea I would drop "elite" too. No no, we'll be few and good :)

Thank you for your feedback!
