One of our largest blockers to opening the waitlist has been my inability to create a decent pricing page that shows our features and explains their benefits.
Obviously as CEO I SHOULD be most qualified to do this, but keep seeing the #roamcult do a better job.

I've seen a bunch of cool redesigns of our landing page from the community...
A part of me really wants to do something with this like we did with themes.
Open it up to our userbase, showcase the different landing pages that users have designed
But something feels off about it

On one hand - crowdsourcing always seems like best way to maximize equality of opportunity - open the door for undiscovered talent to show off, make a name for themselves and get their foot in the door.
Also definitely feels like obviously the best way for us to get best work.

On the other hand - feels like its potential TOO GOOD a deal for the company.
What? We say we'll give a $2,000 prize, $10,000 prize to the person with the landing page with the best conversions?
Even when much higher than the winner would make per hour if we contracted them...

Something about it feels extractive, particularly for the folks who give best effort but don't produce work we want to showcase or don't win a prize.
Over time, a landing page with 5% higher conversions means a much bigger userbase, many more getting benefit, but also more money

We've been able to do so much with so few resources because we've played "moneyball" - betting on undiscovered talent.
We have more resources now, but feels disgusting to say - now that we have more money let's spend it on pretegious "top talent" or big name consultants

Especially when just 1 year ago, 10k meant the world to us, meant 3 more months of runway.
Currently conflicted about it.
But feeling like the folks who would be MOST upset if we crowdsourced the design of our marketing pages would be those who already have lots of opportunities, can already get high price consulting contracts... the "entrenched interests"

Feels like there is some win-win here, where we can discover the passionate talent we wouldn't otherwise have found, cast a broad net for ideas we wouldnt have internally, reward people for the value they've created for the company, but also not be exploitative of the community.
