I'm a programmer and this site looks like it was designed by a programmer. If you are serious about this idea, spend some money and pay a designer to make it prettier. I think this is the kind of site that needs an appealing design.

In particular, the bottom section with the 'guarantee' and the logos of 'buzz' sites looks like one of those dodgy software download sites with the fake awards and testimonials.

Also, I would want to see some samples of Questions & Answers before I handed over my cash. Have a question of the day or something so people can get a feel of the quality of your responses (if you have any yet).

I second the point about design and especially the point about giving one or more examples. $2 is a tiny amount of money, what's more important to me (and costs more) is the time I will spend on your site. If I spend 30 minutes polishing a question and get BS replies, you can't give back my time.

This may sound corny (but hey, the whole idea is a bit so) but I think putting a few pictures of the ladies who answer would also boost your chances.

It's $2 per answer. That seems pretty expensive if I want a lot of answers for one question.
Great tips. Thank you for the input.
