Paying a 'professional' to review my SaaS product?
5 points by ap22213 on March 15, 2014 | hide | past | favorite | 2 comments
I have a fairly narrowly-targeted MVP that I aim to release as a SaaS product, soon. It will be targeted at web developers, bloggers, or even just people with tumblr pages. It will come with an API, JavaScript libraries, and documentation.

I've never released this sort of product for this type of market before. I want to have my design and functionality nailed down, well before I release, so people take me seriously.

How would I get people who are very experienced in these markets (like many of you) to critically review this, beforehand? Is there a service that lets me pay experienced professionals for review?



Wouldn't it be better to offer the service for free initially and get people hooked? If you are willing to "pay" to get visitors, this seems like a way to do it while building your future customer base. If you pay someone to review it, their feedback won't be very valuable - you want to hear feedback from people who will actually use the system.

I'm not an expert in any of this, and have not launched a product of my own. So take it all with a grain of salt.

Good luck!


I'd be happy to review for free.
