Ever thought why some startups became so close to the hearts of users, while others couldn’t even grab their eyeballs?
Here’s a simple tip. And you know this, may be you never noticed. What did social networking website Facebook do? It simply turned every common man into a celebrity. When internet was flooded with pictures and videos of filmstars and models, Facebook gave that rare opportunity to a college going girl and also to a nine-to-five officegoer to own a web page that will have their exclusive pictures and where they will share what they think!
You know the fame this idea achieved. Had it been as complicated as building a website with all that coding and testing works, Facebook wouldn’t have seen the success, it enjoys today.
Enter your name and some basic details, and you are good to go. You can get likes and comments within minutes or even seconds. What do we learn by comprehending success of such simple models – it is all in simplicity and minimalism that acceptance lies.
Adding hurdles to your digital venture, ranging from asking for exhaustive details during logging in to involving the user in an unwanted feedback component, would only place bottlenecks in the very approval of your idea.
Ask yourself, what do you love?
Isn’t Instagram one of your favorites, or Tinder your secret?
Then why mess things up? Why not make the lives of your probable users easy and exciting? You are not to forget that millions of apps are in the offing, are waiting to be installed on smartphones, and tens of millions of websites are awaiting traffic!
The thin line of demarcation between a lovable and an intolerable platform is their ease of usability. To taste that mark you have always envisioned and to make your idea an addiction for netizens, grab users’ nerves, and that is nothing but a simple-to-use platform.
More you are on the convenient yet worthwhile side; more are the chances to succeed.
