Hi everyone!<p>Three weeks ago I put online a landing page for my app and start looking for early traction, I'm testing different traction channels to see which one performs better, organically.<p>Right now I have 58 subscribers in the waitlist, it isn't much but it started with 31 subscribers on the first week, the next week it growth at 29% and the week after that it growth 45%.<p>Is this ok or do I have a problem?, How could I get better results?
There are so many factors in play here, it is hard to answer your question.<p>What are you expecting, what are your goals?
Paid or free app?
Who signed up for the list. Are they targeted? What % of them do you think will download?
Do you have other ways to get people to download your app instead of the waiting list?
What are you doing to build a relationship with the list to entice them to download.
Is the app any good? Is it exciting? Does it solve a new problem?
Do you need a wait list at all?<p>As a quick answer I suggest forget about the wait list and make your app awesome! Then drive people to download the app, not join the list.<p>Build a list once you have the app, to remind people how great/useful it is with helpful articles etc. So they keep using it.<p>P.S. the percentages you mention are meaningless on such small numbers. Forget about % growth until you have a few 1000 in the list.
It depends on the app...if it is a game for teens, a dating app, or a social network you need much bigger numbers. If it is a financial planning app for billionaires under 30, you have the whole market already on your waiting list.
byoung2 makes an important point about the product and therefore the market.<p>My additional question is how long you can sustain your growth - ie, will you keep growing at 29% or just keep adding 20 new people per week. One is good traction, the other incremental.
