I have created a web site at www.sipen.com that helps companies and individuals keep track of their time tracking. This would be helpful for invoicing and other such features, but I have not marketed it yet or even mentioned it much. (This was created using PHP using the Yii Framework.)
The individual side is free but is missing many of the features offered on the business side. I think this may be resulting in people getting the wrong impression about the product. I have not added credit card processing to it yet or anything because I have almost given up on the whole project altogether due to a lack of interest from people I have shown.
I am asking the community here if they could give me some input on this. Should I change it and give a fully featured option to businesses on a time based trial instead? Should I keep the 'free for individuals' option? Also, what features do you think are missing that would be necessary for this to truly be a minimum viable product? I get the feeling that if I was to put this out there, it would flop because there is so much competition from similar products (even if they are not as easy to use.)
Any criticism would be appreciated as long as it can help make the product better.
Lastly, when the product is really a MVP, how can I possibly sell it? What marketing and advertising steps do you recommend?
Also, if you want to test out the company features, I have added an account for that. The username is "demoadmin" and the password is "testaccount" and there is already a basic user set up named "test" and the password for that is "testaccount" even though no information is filled in for it, and the user has never been marked as clocking into the time clock.
I appreciate any feedback.
