>I've built an extremely useful service but only 1 in 100 was willing to pay, which is ridiculous to say.
To play devil's advocate, if only 1 in 100 people are willing to pay for your service, how useful can it really be? I'd think those 100 people are more qualified to judge how useful it is for them than the person who built the service.
Well, we were competing against "free" service offered by big co. Average user doesn't want to pay. They would say us, "ohh we will go to free service by big co". And I learnt big lesson that you can't compete against big co's especially their free products directly.
