As in the previous thread I made http://www.watermark-image.com that makes 3000+ each month.

I am using the money to build http://timeblock.com that currently makes around $350 a month.

Interesting. There are tons of image watermarkers, how do you differentiate in terms of marketing/promotion (and maybe pricing)?
Pricing is more or less the same across all the watermarkers out there - any lower and it is just not worth the time!

Marketing wise I primarily offer great and fast support also in building additional features, this drives a lot of user reviews and reccomendations on forums.

Email me if you want more insights, I will be happy to help you building something different!

I've seen your timeblock.com site a few times because of these threads, and every time I click on the link and end up back on your landing page I get so frustrated because your site does such an amazing job of not actually saying anything about the product. What is your product? What does it look like? How do I use it? How does it compare to other products? Why would I pay for it? What am I paying for?
The product is a methodology that helps makers and managers align their expectations and plans giving makers more time in flow and managers better overview.

When you use the app/methodology you get less stress, less chaos, more creativity and better planning leading to more revenue and better quality of your products.

One user said "it's like scrum, just more humane"

You would pay for it if you wanted more transparency and improved communication between you, your co-founders, your employees and your customers.

It is also an app that supports the methodology, it currently integrates with Jira, and we are working on Asana and TeamWork.

I apologize for the missing info on the website, we are shooting explainer videos today!

Just been looking at your TimeBlock site.

You have a few UX issues and lots of conversion blockers on there....

If you want a hand optimising the site let me know, (for free!). Might help to double your revenue pretty quickly for this project

I would absolutely LOVE your feedback - let me know how to contact you or reach out to me at anders(at)timeblock.com

Thank you so much for offering your help!

Not a problem.

I will drop you an email today with some thoughts.

Thanks!
How did you come with the idea with watermark-image? Looks like a cool site!
Originally I had 200+ images I needed to watermark where I could not find a tool, this made me create a command line tool to watermark my images.

Then a friend suggested I made a product out of it and the rest is history :)
