Some thoughts -I like the idea. I like where you're going with it. A way to draw users in - is a style similar to Buzzfeed. Create a content article (eg: for ladies, ones on shoes, or dresses... where you have attached scores). Share that on facebook, and share that on twitter to the respective groups, niches, etc. That could be a good way to draw people in.
From a behaviours perspective, consider having the person first "make their verdict/review" and THEN create an account to save. Or even try anonymously at first. The reason.... people are more likely to register once they've made even a small investment of time (eg: star rating, review, etc) than they are 5 seconds earlier before the rating.
I didn't see the use case initially as much of "I have an opinion, my friend's is different let's test". But what I did see, is something that could be viral easily (eg: similar to the Facebook "what kind of star wars character are you, etc). Your ratings incite opinions, which incite emotion. People act on emotion.
- demeanator 13y agoThanks for your input and your great advice! It makes a lot of sense to allow anonymous posting. One thing i'm not sure is, isn't it the opposite of what the trend is? (squeeze page requiring to sign up before letting you see anything at all) Anyway, I think I'll work on some of them right away!
- czbond 13y agoIt is - but I think your situation is a bit different. Showing a topic that is likely to get someone to post (eg: instills emotion) and then letting them articulate that (eg: review, comment) is powerful to pull them through a commitment to sign up. As an analogy, think of how many blogs you've read, wanted to comment on - but did not leave a comment simply bc you didn't want to register.
- demeanator 13y agoWhat if, I allow people to post verdicts, but their score will not count toward the overall score unless they sign up. Is it a good idea?
