Only if you care what people think about you

Anyone searching for an answer to a question “what do people think of me?” can use Sayat.me service that is free of charge. People who have blog or homepage, can also use the sayat.me widget instead of URL (to have the feedback entry right on their page).

If you don’t care what people think about you, don’t use it!

“It has both pragmatic and the fun value,” Seeba says. “On the pragmatic side, it helps you point your attention to things that people would not tell you, if not being anonymous. In the end, you can basically use it to get ideas to improve yourself, test your personal brand, or just out of curiousity. Getting feedback on what you do is also very much fun – getting positive feedback on things people adore about you gives you motivational boost to move on.”

Working service built in few days

Remember what Ragnar Sass told us in one of my previous blogposts about creating rough beta IT services in just 24 or 48 hours. Seeba got the idea of Sayat just few weeks ago. “I called right to a friend who does both design and coding. He created the first graphical mock on that same night and did the code on the weekend. In total, he spent around 8 hours on this. By mid next week, the site went live,” Seeba says.

You can read more about such ”excersices” from Seeba’s blog. 

This is really a low cost thing. Only few bucks were taken away for registering the domain. No additional cash has been spent on either engineering salaries, advertizing or anything.

How to earn money with this?

That’s neet, but does Seeba also see any opportunities how to monetize this? Yes he does!

Seeba: “There is no revenue on the site yet. However, besides the rapid launch the sayat.me idea was inspired also by the potential things that the market might be willing to pay for. For example, I have seen big companies dumping piles of cash to consultants to arrange anonymous surveys on what their employees think about their management. Majority of those expenses could be unnecessary.”
