Hello everyone! I decided to create a free web service for tracking of personal finances (currently it's more like in beta without any cool features, but already usable - at least I'm using it at daily basis ). Sure, there already are a lot of such kind of services, but my main motivation is to make a truely useful FREE web-service, that will always stay free and simple for end-user (and probably will give me ability to buy me a beer once a month as a small bonus ). Anyway, I don't know where to start from? I created a group on facebook for it - but not sure what to do else? How can I promote my free personal finance management tool? I want to make it simple and user friendly, and want it to become popular in future. P.S. I don't have any free money, that I can use for promotion of this web-service. P.P.S. Site is here: https://fspare.com
I don't think you're going to get any business with the current design. Sorry for being blunt. The site looks like it's made for AdSense or something similar. It doesn't even look like a site, more like an error page of some sort. If you want to get serious about it, first and foremost change your design. Work diligently on it. Make your site looks like a million bucks, then it'll be easier for the folks here to suggest where you can go from there. 1. The site has no logo 2. It's aligned all the way to the right (at least in Chrome) 3. There's no clear navigation panel 4. The register and login links look like you do not want people to ever get registered or logged in. Etc...
Than you for your feedback. I agree, that website currenly look very ugly... and has so called "programmer design". I'm still working on it and trying to add new features at first. P.S. Should I remove block with ad for the first time or moving it to the down will be enough?
It's always bad practice to place a bunch of TEXT ads on your index page. It gives a bad look to the site. I'd understand if you had a nice looking banner ad. With that block of text ads the site looks like you made it for Chitika. But that's not your main problem. You need to update your template. With the current template you will not get any business. It's almost a guarantee. So work on that first, then start thinking where to place Chitika and what-not.
Thank you for valuable feedback. I will proceed working on design of a service - I have no more doubts that I should put it on the first place.
