Check out this screen from Seeking Alpha.
Here’s what I see when I read this:
- You don’t belong to the club
- If you do but you’re a bit of a doze, go log in now
- If you want to belong to the club, you have to do this first
- Here’s why you should care
Sorry, I already don’t care because the way you put your message together is rude. Here’s how to do it:
- Have a comments form that anyone can type into
- Accept the comment, with email address and optional URL, and if the commenter does not have an account, ask if he/she wants to create one … with the email address and URL already provided
- If yes, send and email to that address
- When the commenter clicks on a link in that email …
- create an account
- publish the comment
Simple, friendly, easy, natural, and quick.
