Yesterday we send an email form to few of our readers to gauge the market for a paid service from Bizdom. We received a good response from 50 odd people, however the result is pretty mixed (it has been that way only within our team also) , as some 52 % of quizzers are OK with a paid service we still are bit confused about this proposed endeavor.
So we decided to post this on our blog to make it more public at one end and also get to know who are willing to pay us by giving their details. Another reason for asking this detail (which is just a email id) is because many of the respondent need a sample from us. Even after putting one of the biggest collection of questions on the blog people still need samples, anyway we will try to make one sample set of 20 questions and then send it across to all the concerned people.
