It varies greatly, but most stay for at least 3 months, empirically.

Certainly, and growing too.

Because that's not in our interest long term. If we charge upfront a large amount (and inevitable disincentivize ourselves from providing great support and upgrade to them thereafter -- which are crucial since it's an "extremely difficult" business), we will get negative word of mouth that will not be great for our sales and marketing.

We are a daily deal platform. We host Groupon clones: http://www.zuupy.com.

Traffic, conversion, revenue, margins.

He must have been ugly.

Is it just me, or is 40 hours a week possibly too long, even when you're running a startup?

Hey Chris, I sent you an email. Thanks, you're doing us a good service.

Paying customers. Alternatively, active users. Any form of positive market reaction to what I'm building keeps me going.

Can you tell me how many hours, minutes, and seconds there are left in the timer on this page? Can you also tell me your timezone? Thanks!

Director, Managing Director, or General Manager.

I don't.

Low hanging fruits: 1) Get some pink in there, 2) less text, 3) orange/red and bigger Add to Cart buttons.

Mine is http://www.zuupy.com, an SaaS daily deal platform.

Our conversion rate for http://www.zuupy.com is around 4%. Out of that 4%, 10% will eventually upgrade to a paid plan, which costs minimum $29.95/mo. So you can say that our conversion rate is 4% or 0.4%, depending what you mean by "conversion".

In general, more features are better. What is needed is user interface that organizes the assortment of features in an intuitive and user-friendly way.

From pivot or from first iteration? If the former, a couple of weeks. If the latter, 5 months.

1) Make US$10,000/mo of subscription payments from my ramen-profitable SaaS startup by the end of next year, and 2) meet a lot of women.

PayPal IPN solves this by returning the transaction data to whatever IPN URL that you specify. You can then verify that the correct amount was paid.

Despite what others say, getting people to pay you money is an achievement in itself. Keep improving the product using feedback you get from new visitors/users!

Facebook has the benefit of showing that you are the type of company that engages with its customers and users. It is also scalable in the sense that you can answer a question once and many people can read it. Email is quick, and most people are comfortable with using email.

Hello Ashraful, I have dropped you a line. Hope to hear from you soon! (though I'm not sure why you're doing this for free)

I think Max Levchin once said something like "If there's doubt about your co-founder, there's no doubt." Meaning that the moment you have doubts about your co-founder, you should break it off and cut your losses. Hope this provides some perspective.

Eat less, seriously. Most of us are over-nourished by default. Then try to bake your exercise into your daily life instead of the traditional method of blocking off a few hours to do solely that. Walk to work, walk back. Climb more stairs. Do house work.

Really neat! Can you add a "next" button though?

"When will the FAQ section be completed?

Soon, we promise."

I found this funny yet painfully unprofessional.

UserVoice?

I think heelhook and roberting are reading your question wrongly. Here's my attempt:

-"Grab yours"/"Grab one" -"I want one" -"Give it to me" -"Put it on my tab"

We are. S$10 for name registration, takes 2-3 working days to process. Then S$300 for incorporation itself, done through Bizfile.gov.sg. Takes 30 minutes at most (mostly filling up fields). M&AA template provided. Company comes to life on the very same day of registration.

Need 1 local director (Singapore Citizen/PR), 1 local secretary to be found within 6 months of incorporation (Singapore Citizen/PR). 100% foreign shareholding is permitted.

Do you need any other specific information?
