[...] Generate "guest" credentials for me if you want me to try it out.
This can not be stressed enough. Have a working live-demo, accessible with a single-click. Not screenshots. Not screencast. And for god's sake not "Schedule a Webinar". Live demo, period.
I can't count the number of times I've been mildly interested in a service but couldn't be bothered to fill out anything just to see how it really feels.
Stripe.com has it right. They do offer registration but you're free to "Skip this step" and with that one click you're dropped right into the live-dashboard to play around and explore.
- minhajuddin 15y agoI built a small blogging engine http://substancehq.com http://substancehq.com, and have had more than 30 throwaway blogs created by "generated guest credentials" on the first day. This is a great thing for a new guy like me. However, most users don't follow through and finish the sign up, which tells me that the app itself is not appealing to the users. This approach is a lot better than having bounces off your signup form. I wonder why many people don't do this.
