So I listened to all start-up advice from the tech crunch, the next web, hacker news and more, launched my own start-up today at<p>http://www.doublestealth.com<p>but where is the virality? I'm doing what people want (although I don't know exactly what it is, but that's the point of MVP and pivoting, no?), but no one wants it? I don't want to reveal any more details because people might steal it and run away with it [sic!]. Please help!?
Your page is kinda disappointing.<p>I click it and I get nothing of value. As a customer I see... cool a product...<p>What does it do? Nothing. Why do I need it? I don't. What will it help me solve? The owner doesn't know.<p>I don't know about your target market (maybe u have one?) but if it was me .. you wouldn't receive a tweet/share or anything of that sort from my end because well I will not have the time/energy and especially the MOTIVATION to do that for you.<p>Also if you are scared that someone will steal your idea then you might as well get out of the market. I bet you have competitors for whatever you are doing, maybe they are hidden on page 102 of Google search, but they exist. If you can't differentiate your product to a customer, nor can you explain your product you have just lost many opportunities.<p>It's like going to the bank and saying, "I need a loan for a business." They will ask, "What kind of a business?"<p>The sad part is you might be getting a good bunch of visits but I bet your bounce rate is incredible because there are millions of pages with millions of products on the internet.
one thing to note about virality is that users only share if they care about you/your company/your product.<p>so, you're not giving your potential users any hint of what you're up to and on the other hand expect everybody tell their friends about it.<p>your twitter account seems to be 1h old and your website tells me that you will launch in 6 and a half years, which most people interpret as you <i>say</i>/<i>plan</i>/<i>hope</i>/... to launch at that time.<p>seriously, if your idea is good people will copy you. cope with it.
once again, execution is what matters. and the good thing about this is, that execution can't be copied that easy.<p>if you ask me do the following:
start a blog. write about what you do every day (product, idea, company,...). follow people of your field on twitter. tweet every day.<p>don't tell anyone you won't reveal more details because you'll be copied. (a little secret (sorry to be that direct): it makes you look either unprofessional or like a jerk. you don't want both i guess.<p>tell everybody about your awesome idea. you'll get valuable feedback from people you wouldn't expect it.<p>sorry, this got so long.<p>martin
I'm apprehensive about your product because of the grey background. Studies have shown that blue is very calming and perhaps you should add some more of it. <a href="http://www.precisionintermedia.com/color.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.precisionintermedia.com/color.html</a><p>Also how do I share your launch progress bar with my friends on Facebook?
this id a joke right? i mean what should go viral in this? do you expect people to go around screaming "oh my god a website that i do not know what it's for and neither do the creators".<p>Meh.
