Have a landing page that actually says something about the product. The limk landing page is atrocious. How d you expect people to sign up to your service when the entry point to your system is this bad?
Worse, what there is was confusing, at least to me. I signed up after reading the article and checking Twitter accounts. I thought I was signing up for a deal finding site from what text I'd seen. It's actually more of an interesting content finding site.
I haven't seen any deals but think it is referring to occasional promos or discounts or something else to incentivize users - doesn't seem to actually be about shopping or getting deals of offers or anything. Example categories were humor, and there were stories about what girls find more attractive, etc..
Thanks for your interest, and sorry for your confusion, but we decided to do this alpha phase only to run our experiments to see by using which ones of them we can fuel our growth with steadily once we release our core features which you probably haven't seen, or used yet.
Thanks for taking your time, orangethirty, and pointing out what you exactly don't like about it.
The thing is we'd most probably keep using the teasing approach, as it mostly converts better than whatever we tried. You can still keep informing your users as the activation process is still happening. At least that was what we learned from our experiences, but the results might differ on each different case.
Teasing only works for prostitutes and strippers. The reason it converts better for you is because your other pages were worse. I do landing pages for startups, and yours can't be working that well. I have no problem with your product, or you, but the landing page is seriously holding you back. Anyhow, good luck. No harm intended.
