Waitlist woes

Yesterday, I released access links to my waitlist. Only 1 person made an account.

Pretty disheartening, lol. I had to double check if the emails even sent or if my in-app admin platform was tracking incorrectly. Loops.so showed that they did, so no issue there, but even with the one person who signed up, I discovered that there was a disconnect in their sign up and their invite being "claimed."

In hindsight, I'm a bit thankful that it was only one person because I was able to trouble shoot the disconnect and give them some free credits for their troubles. But for the rest who haven't responded yet, my friends highlighted that they likely deleted the invite email out of reflex.

My big takeaway: I won't do anymore waitlist email captures for future products with follow up invite links. Instead, I'll have "waitlist" folks create an account.
