Ask HN: rate the fab.com viral signup process
20k pre-launch signups in 1 week. Thoughts?
- kylebragger 16y agoI enjoyed it; it was addictive to the point where I kept hitting refresh to watch the progress bar grow. Offering real rewards beyond just "you'll get access sooner" incentivized me to actually share the URL vs. just signing up and leaving as I usually would. Well done.
- betashop 16y agoCool, thanks for the feedback!
- staunch 16y agoWell done. How much was the domain?
- betashop 16y agoHey there -- the domain wasn't as much as you might imagine.
- amandas 16y agoThis post would be much more interesting and get more attention if you can give a price, we don't see many 3 letter domain names and we are largely a technical crowd. PS: http://mashable.com/2011/02/01/fab-groupon-gays/ http://mashable.com/2011/02/01/fab-groupon-gays/
- staunch 16y agoLet's say I imagine $200k, $100k, and $50k. Which of my imaginings is closest?
- rcavezza 16y agoVery interesting - well done! Quick question: How did you guys spark demand? Tell bloggers, adsense, B2B, Twitter? This viral campaign must have been kickstarted somehow. What was the kickstart?
- betashop 16y agoMainly spreading the word on facebook and via highly targeted facebook ads.
