Well, I'm not sure if the decision to leave my job right now was the right one. And if this project is a failure I would have invested some time and money in it. But it doesn't really matter given all the experience and joy that actually brings.

Thanks

Well, selling is hard, you know. And given the fact that the service IS ACTUALLY FREE (lol), I'm technically not selling anything.

But you can pay for it if you want.

Thanks man ! :)

Hello Pat,

Thanks for the question !

I'll be honest with you, I think the majority of e-cards on the internet are total crap. Last Christmas I was surfing the web in the hope of finding an awesome e-card to send to my friends. I wanted something wacky, funny, yet smart and personal.

No surprise here, but everything I went into was more appropriate for my grandma - boring as hell. But I stumbled upon some video e-cards that allowed me to actually put a custom head into them. I tried them, the head extraction tools were basic, the e-cards were, again, not good enough with such limited functionaliy. But then I thought to myself:

"Damn it, this is just awful. The idea of changing heads is awesome, but the realization is total crap. But hey, I'm an engineer, and I'm passionate and creative. Can I actually build a better e-cards website ? One that combines high-quality e-cards with the possibility to upload your own heads ?"

This is actually an excerpt from an crowdfunding campaign I launched few days ago, there I shared my whole story and inspiration that kept me during these 12 months, along with few of the un-published e-cards !

Hi there,

Good questions.

I know that the e-cards trend is declining and when people hear "e-cards" they usually "2000" comes to mind. But I believe I can change that with MooseMyDay. I think the site is modern, the e-cards are above-average quality compared to other e-cards services and the whole head-changing thing is something new.

To answer your second question, to be honest, MooseMyDay is entirely passion-driven. I'm a software engineer, so I'm not very good at marketing and the whole market research thing. I researched competitor's products (like JibJab for example) and I thought I can do better than their e-cards and tool. And I think I did ! But I'm not the one to determine that at the end.

What I missed was that the market was too big and they have all the national media attention, and they are established, venture funded company. Most of the e-cards websites are quite old and mature.

Hope that answers your questions !

Thanks
