Can a minimal waitlist page actually convert?
by•
For those who’ve had a waitlist up before launching, what did you find converted best on your landing page?
I’m not sure a minimal page can convert, but as a solo founder there’s sometimes limited capacity to build a fully fleshed out landing page.
Curious how other solo founders handled it. What do you think got people to sign up?

I never ran a waitlist, so take this as the view from the other side. A minimal page can work if it shows the result instead of describing it. My web flow for ads is a few short questions about who the song is for, then a real preview of their song, with the full song waiting in the app. People sign up for a thing they have already half seen far more readily than for a promise. If your product cannot run yet, a single real example output, a screenshot, a ten second clip, a sample report, will probably do more than any amount of copy. Minimal is fine, empty is the problem.
