- switz 15y agoI find it ironic that they speak of SEO, yet the page is just one big image and zero text. Practice what you preach.
- zht 15y agobut it has memes! everyone reads reddit and everyone loves memes!
- jack-r-abbit 15y agoFirst I was like "OMG... that is some funny ish" Then I was like "What.. what the? They might be serious" And finally I was like "If they ARE serious... that just makes it even funnier. LOL" Please tell me this is a joke. It is a joke, right?
- fudged 15y agoCould you elaborate on that? I think the idea of using text images while promoting SEO is funny, and the idea of attacking your potential customer in your pitch, but what else? I'd like to know what you thought.
- jack-r-abbit 15y agoInitially I thought it was funny because it reads exactly like a lot of the "landing pages" (also from LaunchRock) that really don't say much but imply they will save your life one day if you signup now. I wonder how many email addresses I could harvest if I just made a LaunchRock page that said "Give me your email address if you don't want to miss out on the cool stuff that I'll show you some day." And then it occurred to me that they might actually be serious with this pitch... but that made it even funnier. Because, really, if I didn't laugh at it I would cry if I let it sink in that this is the future of how business is started.
- jakejake 15y ago"Pay them (the people to do the dirty work) $15/hour in order to free up your time worth $100+/hour." Obviously that appeals to somebody with a "great idea" and an over-inflated sense of self-worth, who doesn't understand the amount of work and cost to implement an idea. It probably is not going to attract many of those people who have the skills to do the work.
- collypops 15y agoI submitted this purely because I think there's decent conversation to be had around both the page itself, and the motivations of the company behind it.
