I am in love with Paseo. I really want to express my gratitude for building this and saving me so much time and energy. I have been a heavy user of conductor.build before switching off completely to Paseo.

please keep on doing such awesome work.

Why don't you outsource some of the work. At least version 0.1 - you will get a working prototype and market validation as well.

Prototype can be as small as Wireframes, Product Specs, HTML mockups. You dont need to change/leave your job to do that.

If you have been living with the idea for few weeks/months are also very passionate about it. Three four nights or weekends are sufficient to start with the sketches and wireframes.

Once you have it ready, show it to few friends, industry experts you know and iterate until you will confident to take the next plunge. Because after that there is no going back.

Its better to give away for free than undercharge. Why dont you give 30 or 60 days free trial instead.

Give away discount coupons on sites like appsumo. But undercharging might set you back. I think pricing should be based on value pricing.

Launch is just a start. Remember the golden saying of Reid Hoffman - "if you are not embarrassed by the first version of your product, you've launched too late."

So you have crossed one of the greatest hurdles - that is launch. Rest is bit easy now.

1. You need to focus on marketing now. It starts from your site.

2. Try to get some of your friends to signup. Analyse deeply what are the actions they are doing versus what you have expected them to do.

3. Focus on that one thing which you think is the highlight of your product. Tweak it, re-tweak it until it really stands apart from all your other offerings.

4. Go to local events, try to showcase it to any crowd you can get your hands on.

5. If you have a little budget, try to do content marketing. Try educating people in your niche what are the problems they are facing. You can start doing that on your company blog or other blogs on your niche.

Be your strongest critic, and you will continuously evolve.

Windows Phone has a great integration with Facebook, that surely helps. But a lot of my contacts are divided across my personal gmail, official emails, LinkedIn and Facebook.

But surely my address book if far away for being complete. Either few are missing phone numbers, emails, or pics.

This guys does which every bootstrapped founder or a good marketer do.

That's still a spam. Moderators always treat new account created with pinch of salt and can be very aggressive as well. A new account asking a question, and new account answering it. This will surely be treated as spam.

As someone whose favourite apps ate Skitch and Evernote (on iPad), I loved your product. Annotating a doc, and then sending an email, and then searching in my sent emails on desktop, has always been a pain. Skitched solved it to a great extend, but it was limited to just images. I think your product is a great tool, for users like me.

You pricing needs some reworking, as I think you are undercharging.

Best of luck with bcontext.
