How many of those 30k visits signed up? How many were still using it a week later?
You might have learned that your assumptions about what people want were wrong. I would bombard every user who signed up and quit with a personal sounding, "Hey, I'd love to hear your thoughts on why this isn't the right to-do list tool for you."
But yeah, you're hitting the wall that most web app makers hit. The site doesn't market itself (most don't unless they are designed for virality or SEO). If you don't want to self educate about marketing, then I'd put a bullet in and make sure your next idea has some built-in marketing juice.
- famfam 16y agoIn the first 3 days there ~1100 signups and ~3200 unsigned up people (no email address captured) who actually created todos. (You don't need to signup for our system to begin to play with it...) Active users is something I just started capturing recently, so I'll probably need to let it run for a few more days to see whose visited in the last week (seems like a reasonable definition of 'active') I've definitely thought about nudge emails. I'll definitely do it if I decide to press on with this maybe after I add a few new features that might interest people. I'm not averse to performing or educating myself about marketing, but like I said, I don't know if I could give it my all when I know that the site is likely not financially viable. I guess if I decide to continue I'll just have to see what social juice I can squeeze out of it. Thanks :)
