AB Test: Which landing page should Hive use for its $100K marketing campaign? Reply A or B

in LeoFinance3 years ago (edited)

Landing Page ist die Webseite, die die Benutzer als Erstes sehen, wenn sie auf eine Facebook, Twitter oder eine Brave-Werbung klicken.

Die Frage und auch kleine Kontroverse, die sich schon seit längerem auf Hive stellt, ist, ob es okay ist, mehr auf den "Earn Crypto"-Aspekt (Social That Pays) von Hive zu setzen oder ob das Krypto verdienen, so wie in der aktuellen Version der Landing-Page eher in den Hintergrund treten soll.

@ryzeonline hat gestern ein sexy Landing-Page-Mockup hochgeladen, das mehr normale Facebook-User, Blogger und Influencer ansprechen soll und mehr auf das "Social That Pays"-Konzept setzt.

Ich denke, während Blockchain Web 3.0 für mich als Software-Entwickler extrem spannend ist, war es doch ehrlicherweise der "Earn Crypto"-Aspekt, der mich auf Hive (bzw. damals Steem) gelockt hat.

Welche Marketing Botschaft ist euerer Meinung erfolgsversprechender:

Hive (A): Cryptocurrency for Web 3.0

Hive (B): Social That Pays

Umfrage: Bitte stimmt in den Kommentaren ab, welche Landing-Page ihr für die Hive-Marketing-Campaign bevorzugen würdet. Antwortet mit A oder B.

@ryzeonline Landing Page Mock-Up

English

The Landing Page is the web page that users see first when they click on a Facebook, Twitter or Brave ad.

The question and also small controversy that has been going on for a quit while on Hive is whether it is ok to focus more on the "Earn Crypto" aspect (Social That Pays) of Hive or whether earning crypto should take more of a back seat, as it does in the current version of the landing page.

@ryzeonline uploaded a sexy landing page mockup yesterday that is meant to appeal more to regular Facebook users, bloggers and influencers and focuses more on the "Social That Pays" concept.

I think while Blockchain Web 3.0 is extremely exciting for me as a software developer, it was honestly the "Earn Crypto" aspect that drew me to Hive (or Steem at the time).

Which marketing message do you think is more promising:

Hive (A): Cryptocurrency for the Web 3.0

Hive (B): Social That Pays

Poll: Please vote in the comments which landing page you would prefer for the Hive marketing campaign. Answer with A or B.

I appreciate you posting this @vikisecrets , I'll make one minor clarification in case I've confused people...

In my original post I wrote that this was a page for Hive.io -- this was a mistake, a typo, and not my intention. Hive.io is an architecture / protocol / ecosystem that consumers do not care about.

I was actually proposing this as marketing for Hive.Blog (as eventually pointed out by @starkerz ), because Hive.Blog is the public-facing, consumer-friendly social-platform aspect of Hive. Consumers definitely care about this. They are always hungry for a new social platform (TikTok, Clubhouse, whatever new thing.)

Just wanted to clarify this point, because I wrote incorrectly in my original post. 🙏

Much love to you and everyone sharing their thoughts here!

respectfully, @vikisecrets, you are asking a small remaining group of ex-content consumers turned great bloggers whether or not hive blockchain should be marketed as a post and earn system. this question is not going to get a fair answer. in fact, it is not a fair question.

we need to be better at understanding who we are bringing to the landing page and cater for their interests in an automated way. we can do this by understanding where the user came from (where the link was embeded) and auto direct them to a landing page for either of the following:

  • content consumption (strictly not bloggers or potential content consumers who could become bloggers, this is not what will drive hive forwards in the future) - why do content consumers benefit from hive?
  • content creators - why do content creators with existing audiences benefit from hive and how do they bring their communities across to benefit from communities and tokens etc
  • gamers - why do gamers benefit from hive and why should they move
  • developers - why do gamers benefit from hive and why should they move
  • defi users
  • token users
    etc etc.

it is easy to identify where these users came from and then serve them landing pages that go straight to their interests.

asking a group of bloggers whether or not hive should be marketed as a blog and earn system will get you one answer and one answer only.

post and earn system.

To clarify, from a marketing/copy/brand-campaign perspective this is no where near what my article was proposing. The marketing message I drafted was much closer to:


"you know the swiping & liking you do for free on FB, YT, IG? ... Well, join Hive and do that for crypto."


Reading my post attentively would hopefully make this abundantly clear.

I’m sorry I just see post and earn. This type of ethos is basically saying take investors money and put it into ur own pocket. I just don’t support it. It brings in smalll content consumers and turns them into bloggers. At which point they don’t get rewarded and they leave. We need to delegate to dollar vigilante for integrating hive into his website so he can incentivise his content consumers for commenting, not tell his content consumers that they can post and earn from investors money. I know u don’t think that is what u are saying, but it literally is that that u are saying. I just don’t think u see it yet.

We all see what we want to see. ;)

U will find in ur comments that every long term reputed hiver on this thread more or less echoes and agrees with what I am saying

👍

Conflict and disagreement is how humans move themselves forward... but it’s also the open and candid willingness to communicate.

How about this... we all just make the attempt... then measure those results carefully. Because Hive is a tool that can approach all sorts of digital media and tokenize them on an immutable censorship resistant blockchain... that means than we need to take serious consideration that ALL types of users are needed and welcome on the platform.

Tailoring a multiple layered approach that reaches each sort of potential account is the way forward.

We just gotta plant the seed and let it grow. 🌱 If it’s a weed we deal with it when it becomes apparent. But if it’s a different sort of plant we nurture and nourish it.

Right now Hive has a problem... the ground is new and being broken, the communities are new and maturing, everything is growing but we need to get rid of all the rocky unfriendly ground if we want to have a thriving and healthy environment where people want to log in and stay long term.

That’s where our effort needs to go...

We can talk about what sort of seed to plant and how to plant it until we go blue in the face... but seriously! We ALL just gotta plant the damn seeds and be super friendly about it.

Got any thoughts?

A good example is the recent interview Adam curry did on max keiser where he talks about podcasting on lightening network. 1) we all know lightening network is inferior to hive and 2 we have pod ping. 3) Adam curry is in touch with the makers of pod ping but he still failed to mention hive on keisers show. Had hive been quicker at allocating mor serious resources behind pod ping on hive, we would have been on keiser report already

Thx for the clarification, I also realized that it is meant for the ad campaign, but I think the basic idea could also be brought to hive.blog or even hive.io, although hive.io could be targeted more towards devs. That's true.

I agree with you :) I guess we'll see, lol! Thanks again! 🙏

Thanks for the cool post! (And in Spanish AND English to! Right on! 🙌)

So I’m going to weigh in just a little... if you would like to learn a little more about what I’m thinking in regards to landing pages and who to market Hive to... I’ve been talking a little about that in my most recent post and in the comments as well.

Now here’s the thing...

I don’t think this is an 🅰️🅱️ question. If we are climbing against the wall trying to get over... yes! Marketing to the right sort of user might seem to be important.

But here’s the thing. Hive has real potential. And as it’s valuation expands I believe it will easily service ALL sorts. Let’s not go back and forth on what seeds we need to plant. Let’s just plant the damn seeds and see what wants to grow here on the blockchain!

So my answer is 🅰️➕🅱️=Healthy Growth.

We need to do all and more of everything... then carefully measure the results.

As well...

It’s all about tossing out and turning up the rocky ground right now. Keeping Hive a friendly place should be first and foremost to drawing people in to the Hive destination AND experience.

This is a chance to continue innovating the next leap in human freedom and evolution. Hive is for everyone who sees it and needs it so let’s market to them all and let them sort themselves out and grow... together!

Our job is to continue compounding trust and telling people about Hive...

Everything moves at the speed of trust and social capital.

Financial Capital is a direct result of how well we do all of the above.

Thx, for the feedback :)

Agree, the marketing strategy ultimately depends on the target group and goal we want to achieve. With modern fine-grained ad targeting, it would indeed be possible to have more than one landing page and tailor each to a specific audience like normal users, devs and crypto investors.

ps. Maybe my posts look a bit like Spanish but it's German and English btw ;)

Hey @vikisecrets , I thought I'd swing by and let you know I created a 'sequel' to my previous post, complete with 3 new marketing campaign drafts if you're interested: https://peakd.com/hive-189306/@ryzeonline/3-more-hive-marketing-approaches-ode-to-the-whiners-, if not all good, and wishing you a wonderful day! 🙏

Wer verkaufen will - und um nichts anderes handelt es sich hier - muss dem potenziellen Käufer mit den ersten paar Worten "direkt in die Seele pissen". Das macht nur B.

A ist was für Geeks, die schon in der Materie drin sind. Es wird kein direkter Kundenvorteil angesprochen. Man muss sich den Vorteil aus dem Geschreibsel indirekt rausklauben und das kann man nur, wenn man sich schon etwas auskennt.

 
Anyone who wants to sell - and that's what this is all about - has to "piss straight into the soul" of the potential buyer with the first few words. Only B does that.

A is for geeks who are already in the know. No direct customer benefit is addressed. You have to pick the advantages out of the writing indirectly, and you can only do that if you already know your way around a bit.
 

Definitely B!

A - Weil, dort alle benötigten Informationen über Hive zu finden sind, inklusive der Erwähnung von Payments und Rewards.

Warum ich denke, dass B nicht hilfreich ist: B macht das, was damals schon bei Steem versucht wurde. Der Fokus lag auf der Anpreisung der Rewards und Payments. Das führt meiner Meinung nach dazu, dass hier neue User aufschlagen, die nach einer gewissen Zeit feststellen werden, nennenswerte Rewards und Payments, sind gar nicht so leicht zu bekommen. Anschließend gibt es danach wieder das große Verlassen, sollte B nicht konstant über einen sehr großen Zeitraum laufen.


A - Because, there you can find all the needed information about Hive, including the mention of Payments and Rewards.

Why I think B is not helpful: B does what was tried with Steem back in the day. The focus was on praising the Rewards and Payments. In my opinion, this leads to the fact that new users come here, who will find after a certain time, notable rewards and payments, are not so easy to get. Afterwards, there is then again the great abandonment, should B not run constantly over a very large period of time.

B auf jeden Fall

Option B is misleading, imagine the shock of a new user to discover that going through your feed does not earn you crypto. Plus, do we really want to attract a crowd that just wants to farm rewards? Because that is the vibe that I get from it.

B

Definitely B.
A is for crypto people or devs, not regular users.

I would emphasise user ownership of their content a bit more.

Good point, like on @peakd front / splash screen :)

Of course B

Ganz klar!

B auf jeden Fall, das ist glaube der wichtigste usp von hive gegenüber anderen Social Media. Das womit man am leichtesten Leute locken kann mit wenigen Worten.

Alles andere würde viel mehr Worte bedürfen

B - all day long.

Posted using Dapplr

B is more modern, definitely B! A looks aged

B

Earn is a better thing for the average user to become attention.

B - bc it states very clearly "what's in it for me" AKA it answers the question "why invest my precious time". Option A is basically a "list of features"...

While blockchain and web 3 are super important to us, I think "earning crypto" is our USP and ace that sets us apart from many other (bigger) web 3 blockchains, and should be leveraged in the ongoing marketing campaign of Hive.

If u get paid a lot with investors money to post, u should really have a huge audience and eyeballs that can be leveraged to create sustainable business models
