How to use Glide to activate and convert users

1. value prop was strong enough that he requested you to log into it. Good model to understand how to capture value as a Maker. Makers do not do this enough. Including myself. We undervalue our products and just give it away for free. This does two things that work against us. 1. makes it harder to get confirmation that someone has a strong desire for our product that they would actually sign up 2. our users wont value your product as much if they dont have to do a bit of work to get the result or dont have to pay. you simply dont value products that you get for free as much as you do you have to pay.

2. Jesus created a brilliant strategy to overcome one of the limitations of Glide. As soon as you log in, he shows an image that gives instructions for the users to quickly be successful with the app. This was smart because one of the negatives of Glide is it can be limiting to design the experience to lead your customer to having success. And then he allows you to dismiss the lead image.

3. simplicity is key. Often Makers overbuild. Jesus does a great job of adhereing to the principle of making good products: "If you're product is great, it doesn't need to be good." Which means you espcially at this stage only focus on no more than 3 things that make your product work. At most. Jesus does that here with his app allowing his users to do three things very well. Clearing away the clutter and getting your user to the ACTIVATION step as fast as possible.
