Ask HN: Feedback on MVP
The value proposition is: "ViralMage is a viral marketing tool that helps businesses cheaply build a pre-launch mailing list".
How it works: 1. Use the tool to easily create a simple landing page for your product launch with an email signup field. 2. Add rewards to the campaign. Users whose friends sign up using their referral link can get free products, with increasingly valuable products for increasing shares. E.g. 10 friends, a free basic model of your product; 20 friends, a free premium model of your product. 3. Share your landing page with your seed list (friends and family, for instance) and ask them to share with others. 4. Track how many people have signed up for your launch and then export their emails when you're ready to contact them.
The questions I would like to ask are: - Is the value proposition clear? - Are there any areas that you think need improvement/clarifying? - If you find the idea compelling, but wouldn't use the service, why not?
Thanks, Percy
