For our logo design company (http://fairpixels.co), we open source our unused logo designs on http://logodust.com and make them available for free. We promote Logodust to bloggers/reporters and have gotten some publications on sites like TheNextWeb. A good chunk of those visitors then upgrade from the free logos to a paid, custom design. We have a pretty healthy and consistent flow of visitors to Logodust so paying clients knock on our doors consistently.

http://logodust.com for free open sourced logo designs. Useful for MVP's/Demos etc.

how was the speed?

I obviously can't predict if the price + product is something people want. Which is exactly why I like running these lean experiments. You can only find out by getting the idea out of your head, launch it in a quick and lean way and find out if people are interested. By getting early leads to sign up, you might find out by talking to them that 39/mo is thye magical nr. Or maybe 89/mo if feature X and Y are added.

Yes i mean free/trial users. To convert those into paying customers, there's funneling and all sorts of othet work involved. This service would be to take an idea and validate it in 4 weeks. So you have a group of early adopters that can help you shape the product they want.

So the 100(+) signups would be people who opted in to the service and answered the question why (by filling in their reason). So on the other side you'd have a list of leads including their individual motivation (instead of a random bunch of email addresses). I've been doing this for some time, it's not that hard actually.

What would you pay for that?

that service should probably cost $20k+ :)

Based in Europe. My stuff has won awards and I've been hired by large companies. Just tired of freelancing.

I'm hoping some updates on the VR work they're doing

We actually had some issues earlier this week with attachments, so had to quickly switch to gmail for practical reasons. No worries, we'll switch back again asap :)

Yes we are!
