Get paid to do surveys
Anyone ever do any of these things?
These guys claim to hook you up with companies that will pay you $4 to $25 "or more" to do surveys in your underwear (don't think that's a pre-requisite... But it always sounds nice.)
As we sit and analyze what has become a much bigger project than the one we started, (GO smRty) I can't help but wonder.... What else could I be doing to make a buck on the net?
Not that I'm only in this to make a buck... Don't get me wrong, I love what I do... But hey, we could all use a little more cabbage in our pocket right?
We've discovered that we need to do more work on the "empty state" - (thank you 37signals for that term, it's very appropriate). New users are having trouble figuring out how to navigate the application. I guess when it's something you've evolved in house, it just seems to make sense. I wrote a detailed description today of the "work flow" which should make it's way into the site in the next few days.
We also plan to put more "WHAT'S THIS" buttons around the interface to help explain some of the more intricate details (see francois quick key post from a couple of days ago, it's very informative.
Another week raps up and we've finally started to get some user response. While it may not have been the best response (some was very good, but enough confused letters tells us we need more design work on the explanation side of things).
Have a nice weekend everyone, we'll be back at it on Monday.
