You are a developer and you have put a few weeks/months into developing a project with big hopes for it. You launch it on PH and get a few hundred signups or views, etc. Then it is 4 weeks later and you are seeing nothing. People are barely visiting let alone signing up or buying your product. You try marketing but it has limited effect and as you end up running out of money to keep advertising it, you start to realise maybe this is not going to work out. What do you do with it? Do you keep going, and keep pushing it? Do you mothball it and take it offline? Do you try and sell the project to someone else to recoup some money? Do you look for partners to work with who can hopefully make it a success alongside you? Do you look for more feedback or ideas on where it can be altered or changed to become a better project? Or do you weep heavily for 3 weeks and turn to Netflix and chocolate to get you out of the depression? One of the reasons I ask is that there are some brilliant ideas on PH but when you click through they are dead or dying and it makes you think "If they just tweaked this" or "If they just added that?" or "If they used it for this purpose that has a huge demand, rather than for their audience that nobody is really that interested in?".

Hey folks, My company provided digital solutions for the farmers via digital apps. There's one app that we have created and it's ideally used once in 2months during the start of the crop season. I need your advise on how to increase the user visits and retention for the app. Any ideas? Cheers.

Most of the startups are going with Subscription Base Model Businesses benefit because they are assured a predictable and constant revenue stream. Consumers may find subscriptions convenient if they believe that they will buy a product on a regular basis and that they might save money. But it is definitely a challenge for the customers as they go on subscribing to many services over the period times. The subscription Model is growing & Businesses, as well as consumers, are accepting this model in some Industries. But it is declining & shrinking in some industries like software for small businesses. COVID-19 pandemic has led to enormous losses, businesses going belly up, Enterprises have been busy offering competitive pricing. The subscription Base Model is growing right now but do you also think that this will come to an end soon?
