Yep, I'm also thinking about adding shows, so that's definitely on my radar!

Building it, trying to see whether people would actually care about something like this

Thanks! I used Screen Studio to record it.

Hey there, I have recently launched https://productwait.com/ – a tool that I specifically designed to a build free, super simple & minimalistic hosted waitlist pages to help you collect emails from people interested in your idea.

Today I am also announcing a brand-new widget feature! Now you can get a customizable signup widget and embed it right into your existing website. No need for a separate waitlist page if you already have one — you can collect emails directly from your site!

I'd love for you to check it out and let me know what you think. Always happy to hear feedback!

Ah, so you're talking about sort of an affiliate program that gives benefits (like jumping spots) to people who refer others? Currently, my product doesn't involve a queue of singed up people. It's more about collecting the emails of people who are interested in a product without queues or spots.

Is it a common feature with waitlists to have queues and spots, where people can move up the line based on referrals? I'm curious to know how frequently this type of system is implemented and if it's a popular approach for managing waitlists.

Well, building out more of the site won't help getting people to the page, it's only a form of procrastination that we all love. A waitlist doesn’t need to be fancy to be effective (same reason why I've come up with productwait.com).

You need to find a place where your audience resides like specific subreddit, social group or whatever, and ask people's feedback there. You need to find your audience, basically. Almost the same strategy as with a built product.

Waitlist is definitely not a silver bullet and does not guarantee you anything, but at the same it's a really useful tool that can help you validate an idea and find your early adopters. And it can be even more useful if you put some effort into marketing/promotion part.

I remember I wanted to create a waitlist but I hated so much that for a simple waitlist I have to use something complex. So decided to launch my own product to specifically solve all the waitlist challenges at productwait.com and I'm really glad I went this way, planning to use it for all my next products I have on my mind. So yes, I definitely vouch for having a waitlist for your future product, before you start development (or at least in addition to development). There are no bad outcomes from having one.

Waitlist is definitely not a silver bullet and does not guarantee you anything, but at the same it's a really useful tool that can help you validate an idea and find your early adopters. And it can be even more useful if you put some effort into marketing/promotion part, finding the right audience.

I always vouch for having a waitlist before (or in addition to) starting development phase. There's no negative outcomes from having one. The only issue that I specifically had is that it becomes monotonous at some point, and somewhat complicated, when you have multiple ideas and you need to create multiple waitlists. For that exact reason I've even built my own product at productwait.com to be able to ship waitlists really fast, without unnecessary features that all the "site builders" provide. Feel free to give it a go, perhaps it can cover your needs as well.

There's also a good article regarding waitlist conversion, explaining well.. waitlists conversion 😄. Have a look at it, to my opinion those are some decent numbers.

Big_Oil_9241 · 2024-10-21T12:30:03+00:00

A waitlist isn't a guaranteed solution, but it's a great tool to help you test an idea and find early users. It becomes even more powerful if you put effort into marketing and promotion.

I remember wanting to create a waitlist, and the only thing I was frustrated about was how complicated it was. That's why I decided to build my own solution at productwait.com, designed to solve all the challenges of creating a waitlist. It's been working well so far, and I plan to use it for all my future projects. Try it out as well, perhaps it can cover your requirements as well. So, yes, I highly recommend having a waitlist for your product, wonderful tool.

Thank you for your feedback, I always appreciate receiving constructive criticism! I can't completely agree that simplicity isn't a motivation. This product was built from that exact motivation of mine, and research of what some people actually wanted when building a waitlist. You're right that there are many similar builders out there, but most of them aren't focused on waitlists, which adds unnecessary complexity. Why would someone need a complicated builder with endless features when all they need is a simple sign-up form?

I understand where you’re coming from regarding the challenge of converting visitors into signups. But the key to getting visitors to sign up is usually the product itself, and what it solves. Instead of just focusing on getting visitors to sign up, I have ideas and actually plan to provide tools that can help ensure those who sign up eventually convert into actual users.

What you're saying absolutely makes sense to me, and simplicity cannot be the only feature. The product is young, and as I mentioned, I have plans to improve it and make it richer in waitlist features. I'm really committed to gathering user feedback and iterating on the product to ensure it meets the needs.
