Great perspective and a fair point. Thanks for the feedback.
I recall that just before I published the site, I decided to change the CTA from the boring placeholder I had to something more playful and human. It was the first thing that came to mind It just seemed like a fun idea. It worked so I kept it.
Reading your comment, I'm tempted to try something more conventional but it's too easy to be skewed by responding to a single data point. It's edgy so it's bound to be polarising (I've also received positive feedback on the very same text).
I might run a split-test to get some data on it.
- _abattoir 11y agoYeah, I didn't want to give negative feedback per se, but I wanted to share my gut reaction with you because those are just as valuable as thought-out opinions w/r/t conversions. I admire the boldness and as a Linguistics major I can confirm the craziness of the word, re: standing out, is way more valuable than any imagined revulsion that I may be assuming. Best of luck.
- shovel 11y ago> those are just as valuable as thought-out opinions Totally agree. And early data says you might be right. I set up a split test on Optimizely with 2 more variations and both beat the control: Control SEX UP MY INBOX 35% CTR Variation 1 DISCOVER NEWSLETTERS 61% CTR Variation 2 GET STARTED 58% CTR Variation 1 is winning so far (74% lift, 79% significance). I'll keep it running because right now it's skewed toward HN traffic, and we're a weird bunch here - we seem to behave differently to everybody else Anyway, thanks again for the feedback. Looks like you're onto something.
