FRICTION OR NOT? “The quality of users tends to decrease slightly when you require less fields or less pieces of information from them.”- Matthew Berman, Distribution Hacker at 500 Startups.
“If setting up an account, listing a service, and being up and running to start selling take more than five minutes then there is something wrong.”- Micha Kaufman, CEO at Fiverr.

Niche => long form

SOCIAL LOGINS In Europe: Facebook = 75% market shareGreat way to reduce friction but always let
an alternative to the users ;-)

2. ONBOARDING
![Page 18: "Highway to the Wow Effect: golden rules of activation" by Côme Courteault](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5886a7691a28ab0c1d8b7575/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
NEXT! The user signed up. Now, the goal is to provide a positive first experience
Achieve the “wow” effect
![Page 19: "Highway to the Wow Effect: golden rules of activation" by Côme Courteault](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5886a7691a28ab0c1d8b7575/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
TWO OPTIONS Guided tour
Assistant
![Page 20: "Highway to the Wow Effect: golden rules of activation" by Côme Courteault](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5886a7691a28ab0c1d8b7575/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
GUIDED TOUR Easy to implement
Great way to go over many featuresBUT: poor experience Not involving, not care
Tool: introjs.com
![Page 21: "Highway to the Wow Effect: golden rules of activation" by Côme Courteault](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5886a7691a28ab0c1d8b7575/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
ASSISTANT Take the user by hand and helphim set up the app properly while
showing him how it worksBut: more complicated to develop
![Page 22: "Highway to the Wow Effect: golden rules of activation" by Côme Courteault](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5886a7691a28ab0c1d8b7575/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
COMMIT THE USER Don’t overwhelm the user with ALL your features. FOCUS on the important ones!
Get him to commit: to do at least 1 action
![Page 23: "Highway to the Wow Effect: golden rules of activation" by Côme Courteault](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5886a7691a28ab0c1d8b7575/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
THE HOOK MODEL Because the user will invest (for instance comment on a photo on Pinterest), he will
come back (to see answers, etc…)Read: Nir Eyal’s Hooked

THINK ABOUT THE FLOW! Take a white board and list every step
through which a user goesCheck useronboard.com

THE TWITTER EXAMPLE What are the metrics that separate active
users from inactive ones?For Twitter it was: follow 30 accounts
So they built their onboarding around that!
(Check @SeanEllis’ presentation: http://unbounce.com/cta-conf/Sean_Ellis_CTAConf2014.pdf)

IT’S ALL ABOUT CULTURE If you’re a community-driven business, onboarding is where you give the right
culture to your users!(For instance: AirBnB)
![Page 32: "Highway to the Wow Effect: golden rules of activation" by Côme Courteault](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5886a7691a28ab0c1d8b7575/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
TRACKING IS VITAL Tracking will help you identify:(a) Gaps in your onboarding
(b) Red flag metrics(c) Qualitative data on users
![Page 33: "Highway to the Wow Effect: golden rules of activation" by Côme Courteault](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5886a7691a28ab0c1d8b7575/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
GAPS IN THE FUNNEL See where the conversion rate is low and
experiment to make it betterHave a “macro” funnel you monitor continuously
+ sub-funnels you can check when you need
![Page 34: "Highway to the Wow Effect: golden rules of activation" by Côme Courteault](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5886a7691a28ab0c1d8b7575/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
RED FLAGS METRICS Are there early signs that user will not be active in the future?Can you detect when a user is about to churn?For instance: staying less than 5 minute on the onboarding can be a red flag
![Page 35: "Highway to the Wow Effect: golden rules of activation" by Côme Courteault](https://reader035.vdocuments.mx/reader035/viewer/2022081513/5886a7691a28ab0c1d8b7575/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
QUALITATIVE DATA With tools like hotjar.com, you can get heat maps and screen recordings helping you understand how users
behave on your website / app.

DRIP CAMPAIGNS Email is your friend! Measure the behaviour of your users and send
emails accordingly ;-)For instance, if they don’t complete the signup and/or onboarding, send
them emails to reactivate them!Tools: mixpanel.com, intercom.io,
getdrip.com…

CHECKLIST Start with a general funnel
Zoom-in where you have low conversion rates
Run qualitative analysesRemember: a good onboarding
is key to a good retention!
