Can you make a buck? Then two? Then economies of scale.
Charge one dollar for one of your little reports or something, best is information, then "pay the game" to earn your points...once you've reached 6000 steps, next add a timer, can you beat today's time by 30 seconds?
Then when you are doing 6k steps at a calorie burning rate, add a few more steps.
There you go a blueprint fo better health and more money.

Hi Gordon,
I think that's a great point!
If you can get quick feedback, then it is a lot more motivational.
For example, I think that's why counting steps with my smartphone seems to work.
When I hit 6000 steps, I feel a sense of accomplishment. That makes me feel good!
However, when I just tried to walk half an hour every day, I didn't seem to get that same feeling of accomplishment.
Maybe it's because when I'm counting steps it's like gaining points in a game. Every few step I take are like more points! So, you get a continuous feeling of achievement.
I don't know if that's why it works better. It's one possible idea!
Anyhow, I think you made it an amazing insight. I'll have to think about how to apply this even better.
Best wishes,
Dien
