Example: A potential customer and I want to go to lunch. They write me an email asking for the exact place and time. The service recognizes that this is quite urgent, and presents me a digest of the message, plus a selection box for time slots (with my schedule overlaid for context), and 3 of my favorite places. I choose a slot and a restaurant, and the service writes the answer in a polite tone, matching my writing and verbosity style. The potential customer then writes back an email saying they are looking forward to the meeting. The service knows from previous incidents that I prefer a canned response in that case and auto-replies "Looking forward", and adds a suffix the calendar entry "- confirmed".
It would be worth it just for the feeling of not being alone with that amount of messages crashing in on me every day. A personal assistant for everyone.
It's too easy for someone to say they would pay for something when they don't have to put in any real commitment...
I'll take that $100 as a cheque
Offer a $10 subscription plan and position it as being for lukewarm starters.
Ugh I'd love to see the stats on this as an experiment.
Has anyone tried the paid service -- 20% per month (or 19.99 to be precise) ?
Any experiences (positive or negative) to report?
I'm looking for something like this in the " Live Mentoring" and "Founder Community" areas...
[ EDIT: Not sure this site is seeing all that much activity. The blog posts don't have any dates on them,
but I figured from comments that the latest post is nearly 1/2 a year old. https://blog.nugget.one/ ]
Like any community, only a small handful of Nugget members are super active. Many people come to Nugget looking for self-implementing ideas, and they tend to wash out when they realize that hard work is involved to make ideas into businesses.
Several Nugget members have done the work to hit revenue, and there is a core group of us who are taking advantage of mentoring by Nugget's Justin and Brandon, who really know their stuff.
I belong to FounderCafe, Fizzle and Nugget; they all add value, but Nugget is laser-focused on actively helping people actually BUILD SOMETHING. If that's what you are seeking, you owe to yourself to check out Nugget.
It looks pretty neat actually. Has filters on $ /month people are willing to pay for the SaaS solutions.
But my main concern is that to be effective, they would need full access to my email. GMail doesn't have any way to grant limited access (for example no permanent delete), and even if it did, just read access to email would grant access to all my online accounts via password reset or magic link emails.
How have you organised this? Or how did you find an assistant you can trust with that access? Do you review their work, or assume it is all above board?
I want something that can pull in documentation generated from code (from tools like godoc or javadoc), README files checked into code, plus other more wiki style documentation.
With all this documentation in one place, I want it to be smart about helping me deal with dead links and suggest pages that might need update when code updates. For example, say a wiki page references running a command with a certain flag. If I check in a change removing that flag from that command, the wiki should let me know that the page might need to be updated.
Ideally, this wiki would also have a stack-overflow -like Q&A feature to reduce the time spent helping other team members.
Accounting system, Timesheets, payroll system, backup service, cell phone/internet plans, City Centre meeting rooms that can be booked online, HR services (measure employee satisfaction etc.), fruit delivery to the office, flower delivery to the office, excellent quality VOIP with screen sharing.
There are many more, but above are just a few that I'd consider worth it.
Some things come into mind:
-I pay $20/month for videos to learn 3D modeling and animation
-I payed for a while a subscription to treehouse, where I could learn mobile and web development
-$40 dollars for a book to learn OpenCV3
It would be an easier question to ask what would a business pay $100/month for.
I have heard you could have roses blooming all summer if you care for them right. I have no clue on how to do this.
Disclosure - I'm one of the founders :)
Three (in the UK) offer unlimited for £24/mo.
Big mistake, $10/GB proved to be untenable. I hunted around a bit and found a service offered by Orange/Sosh: 25 euros per month got me 40GB of data and a pretty snappy 4G+ connection. Naturally I canceled my Fi plan immediately.
If anyone is willing to pay a reasonable fee for transfer of liability I am looking to switch to Google Fi with two lines for about $35/month + pay-as-you-use data.
On eBay there are all kids of "unlimited data" hotspots for $50 to start + $100/month; I don't know how these people can afford to do it. (Also ones for $5/month somehow but that's even harder to understand.)
Am I the only one who's really bothered when telecoms claim unlimited data then intentionally implement artificial limits on every aspect of that data?
(Also the companies are too big; with my local internet provider, a small company, I made a deal that if I pay 1 year in advance for the most expensive sub, they would ignore my usage. Fine with them.)
What simple service would you pay $10/month for? #JustCurious
And also all services that make me save at least 5 hours a week.
