Background info: I'm launching an image sharing site (http://lolstack.com) this coming Tuesday and I'd like to get some momentum coming out of the gate. In a nutshell, lolstack is cool because it encourages quality content through duplicate detection, community voting, and virtual currency (lolbucks).
I'd like some feedback on the launch page before I go on an all out media blitz submitting to TechCrunch et al.
I've heeded the advice of several articles on launch pages and implemented the following:
- Custom welcome messages depending on the traffic source. ex: http://lolstack.com/?ad=r1
- Incentive for referrals. If you sign up, you'll see a screen offering you 50 lolbucks for referring two friends. It looks like this: http://i.imgur.com/DA0Wl.jpg There's also a "tweet this" button encouraging users to mention lolstack.
My latest development snapshot of the actual site is available on the subdomain "dev" of lolstack.com. Feel free to poke around in there. I would love some actionable criticism.
