Your "try it now" link doesn't go straight into trying it. I have to either pay money or share to FB. It may seem fine to you, but that's a redirect in the customer's mind. That was enough to stop me from trying it--even though I am struggling to get a freelance practice started and need hour tracking and invoicing help. You haven't shown me anything and are asking me to part with my money or my privacy just to see whether your products sucks or not.
Freelancers are going to be really used to trying tech for free before buying. They are a good market for freemium or even ad supported.
Not sure about this one but to be honest I was distracted by that robot cartoon character. I'm not even sure what he has in his mouth. It's just weird and makes me think you are 17. Hope that wasn't harsh, I would wager there's an emotional attachment to that robot, you or someone close is a great artist. Ditch the emotion and get something more product specific.
You're absolutely right. Thanks for checking it out.
As for the robot, I was going for something cute, like MailChimp. It was picture I took of a friend's painting. Awesome painting, but didn't translate well to a pro icon. Do you think a robot could work if I got a pro version done at Logo Tournament?
I do plan to make it easy to try it for free. Also make it much cheaper... say a flat $5/mnth or something.
I actually abandoned it over a year ago once I launched and realized there are 41394 invoicing apps and I don't know how to market.
Hate to be blunt, but you wouldn't have posted your site here without wanting to know what is wrong I guess. Anyway, forcing someone to share a product they haven't even tried yet just to try it themselves, and also forcing potential paying customers to enter their credit card details on an unsecured connection are both great ways to turn away 100% of your visitors instantly! That would be the first thing that HAS to change if you want customers :)
I've had this problem with every single side project. The only thing that seems to work "out of the box" is my rhythmbox plugin/android app, but I guess I'm just piggybacking on people's search for "rhythmbox".
I would suggest focusing on how you're different from your competitors. At a first glance from your site, I have a hard time distinguishing you from say, Freshbooks.
Currently in the single digits, this is my zombie project. I haven't actively marketed for a few years - moved on to other things. People tried it a few days and left, I guess there are better free options or they just didn't like the interface.
