I've thought about monetization a bit. I think the move is "you only pay when you don't do your chores." Choremate's big differentiator is small and gradual punishments. The site would collect the financial punishments. As you say, charging money in a form like a subscription might be a nonstarter for the demographic.

I haven't explored SEO in choremate much but I know its a fantastic acquisition channel based on one of my other projects.

The tagline used to be "The Chore Chart for Adults" but I think it read as a practical joke for some people. The big differentiator of choremate is small and gradual punishments for not doing chores, but putting this forefront when talking to users turned them off. They don't want a picture of the sausage being made on the package.

Social proof would be great and I'll definitely leverage it when I have some. My household is the only household using it right now though lol.

Solid suggestions all around, thanks!

P.S. Checked out http://jack.works and http://jack.ventures. Very cool!
