Changes

Feedback appreciated:

  • Does minimal intro work or do I need to do more?
  • Any good examples I should include?
  • Does last section "What to do with activation metric once you have it" work? Feels a bit vague at the moment.
  • Did I go overboard with the images?

I think this is a banger, dude. That last section seems very concrete and actionable to me. At this point you know a lot about this so your standard is high but, ime, most folks are barely starting this journey and that's already plenty of meat that leaves them better than they started.


On top of this, having a clear activation rate makes it easier to have a clear picture of other metrics down the funnel. For example, a poor referral rate could just be a product of not enough users being activated and getting there. A larger sample size (more activated users) lets you do a proper analysis of the down funnel metrics.
