In my country, I have noticed that gas/fuel prices tend to vary across different locations within the same city. I am considering a software solution in which people log gas prices at different gas stations to determine the cheapest places to fill up, and the app is paid for with a monthly subscription. The problem here is that even though my solution meets a market demand, people have no incentive (at least at first, when the database of prices is empty), to spend time logging gas prices on my app when the initial userbase is small.
Therefore I am considering rewarding those that log such information to the app, with a small portion of the revenue or some other form of in-app compensation. This could be achieved by taking out a small portion of the revenue stream and setting it aside for the users who contributed the most, perhaps? Either way, this seems unsustainable without a) a sufficiently large starting dataset, b) advertiser revenue (unlikely with a small userbase) c) an alternative revenue model.
c) seems the best solution so far, but am I thinking about this in the wrong way? Will people actually log prices if their need for the service outweighs the time they spend providing the app with information? Any feedback is welcome, especially criticism!
