A Really New Approach – But I Need Your Advice

I Need Your Help!
Please – if you have a minute or two – we have a new concept we’d like to first explain to you, then get your feedback on. I need to know what you think of it, what you’d like to see, what type of experiences you’ve had, etc. I’ve created a short video explaining the idea, then we have a survey. Now, I know, I know. Surveys are not everyone’s favorite thing, but I really need to get your feedback and know what you think about this.

We’ve added some incentive too for the survey – by filling out the survey, you’re automagically entered in the drawing for a prize! The prizes are sure to be of interest, it’s cold hard cash. We’ll have one (1) $200 grand prize, one (1) $100 second prize and three (3) prizes at $50. So, you have *5* chances to win.

This all hinges on feedback we receive, so we’ll be running this for a few weeks here to get as much feedback as possible.

Click here to see the video and take the survey – and please do let others know about this. I’m not trying to generate traffic (no login or membership is required) – but I do need to hear from as many people as possible.

*Thanks* for your help! (If you have any trouble with the page or the survey, please email me and let me know).
