Funnel and Ad experiments
Temporary home is: http://solseed-funnel.herokuapp.com/
- The visitor tracking and logging is not fully implemented yet, so we can't measure the effectiveness of our funnel until that is in place ... this is the last piece of functionality that is required before we start our experiments
- There are tons of things we can do to make it look better ... we'll get to those shortly :-)
- We need to decide what to do with the current wiki that lives at www.solseed.org ... some options:
- Reverse proxy anything that misses on the rails app to the wiki (slow and cumbersome ... doesn't keep good logical separation) ... does the best job of keeping any SEO (Search Engine Optimization ... basically organic search results that lead people to our pages) goodness those pages already have (there are hundreds of pages)
- Move the wiki to wiki.SolSeed.org and issue redirect permanent if the page exists on the wiki (need to maintain a list of the pages) ... probably does just as good with the SEO juice (but perhaps not)
- Leave the wiki at www.aboutus.org and use a different tld for the landing site ... Brandon probably vetoes this ... the wiki is a much lower down the funnel target ... those who are really keen on us will get there and explore it ... those who are still lukewarm will just bounce off it ... so keep the marketing material front and center and move the petticoats under the skirt
What with funds? ... More Songs? More Art for Additional Liturgical Season Books? Liturgical Stuff? Website dressup? Sponsor cubesat?
- 1000 dollars per song with John and Will so roughly 10000 for an album
- 1000 per 6 little paintings
- Figurines, magnifying glasses, jeweled boxes, emerald encrusted golden jellyfish
- We'll need some help making the website look awesome ... we have some decent design chops, but not professional level
- PSAS is building a cubesat ... we could sponsor
- Sponsor a box at the Overbrook Community Garden $300 Canadian
- AdWords clicks to our landing site
- Facebook adverts
Evaluation
- Eric ... has "I'm a seed" as his incoming email alert ringtone ... these calls are never long enough, especially when I'm all alone
- Brandon ... I feel good about the rhythm and cadence that we have going (plugging away)
