It sounds like you're targeting new freelancers. Yet it is existing freelancers that understand the pain you are trying to solve.

It looks like you have 5-6 average tools in one package, not one killer tool that would make it worth switching.

Your copy doesn't read like a native English speaker and doesn't pull on any emotions or hit on the pain point you are trying to address.

I would contact all of your signups. Ask them which feature they were most interested in. Make it so the tool only does that 1 thing for now and take a MUCH lower monthly payment.

From there you can learn what people need next and add on features slowly so people aren't overwhelmed by your product.

Also you should note that you started this post with "it's not the product". It IS the product but it can be fixed.



Agreed—the copy is weak af. The features do seem compelling, but the copy makes it sound rather untrustworthy.


Thank you, working on the product and fixing all these :)
