Please help us understand how much you would value EpicGem as a service.
For this question, we are asking about 2 different types of story albums:
1> The first type are Gems you create yourself and then share using EpicGem;
2> The second type are stories created by someone (each at least 10 pages long with professional illustrations, like this e-book) that you could personalize and share using Epic Gem.
Assuming you could could edit and change each type of Gem (for free) as much as you want before sharing it (with an unlimited number of other people), ...
... how much would you be willing to pay per Gem at the time you share it?
*
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, if you could create and share an unlimited number of stories and albums (with an unlimited number of people), ...
... how much would you be willing to pay per month to use EpicGem?
*
|
|
|
|
| |
| If you would prefer not to pay (i) per story or album, or (ii) per month, but otherwise would be willing to pay for certain features ...
... could you please explain? | | |
