Most of the information that you are asking on your website is part of the elevator pitch. By answering those questions the user will pretty much create the pitch themselves.

youngdev | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN:What is the benefit of an invite-only priv beta page for a new Startup
How about using Open-Source tools such as Jmeter to run performance test and identify the bottle neck areas. We have done that with our site http://www.jackpotbuddy.com. Initially were were getting around 25 seconds page load time for 1000 users.
We were able to reduce that to <5 seconds after identifying and fixing the issues

Thanks. We are already tracking user country. I like the idea of tracking users action. We will look into implementing some audit trails.

youngdev | 13 years ago | on: How naked should I make my product?
We did that naked thing with our product at www.jackpotbuddy.com. When people click the button to Play then we prompt them to register or login.
I think it is a good idea and can help with conversion rate.

Reiz, Thanks for the feedback. Initially we are paying for the lottery tickets. We play lottery often for fun, so we thought why not share it with everyone else.
In phase two we are introducing more premium features where users can create their own private groups and track the ticket/winning etc. Hoping that will help drive the revenue.

Thanks for the feedback. Each week we will buy lottery tickets and start a lottery pool for everyone to join. If our lottery ticket is a winner, then any price we get will be equally divided between the members who have joined the group.
In the next phase the biggest incentives users will have is to create their own lottery pools and play with their friends and family members by creating private pools. Instead of spending hundreds of dollars on lottery ticket to increase their chances of winning users will be able to share the cost of lottery tickets with their friends/family members. Together they can purchase more tickets, increase their chances of winnings and keep low out of the pocket costs.
