What is User Activation?
“Activation is the act of getting them (= users) to
take an action in your product that you are guiding
them toward.”
(Neil Patel)

What is User Onboarding?
“User onboarding is about getting people to
shoot fireballs as quickly as possible, not
getting them the flower.”
(Samuel Hulick)

Who knows about GH
Can you define
Find process to find combination of things that work for you, not somebody else
Use tactics you read and hear about as inspiration and input, not as something to copy
GH is actually a long process, only looks easy once you’ve found the things that work
It is a result of a sum of hundreds of actions
e.g. hotmail - not enough to get people to the site, they need to sign up and stay

Instagram for Videos
Viddy, the formerly popular video sharing app, grew rapidly by getting users to sign up using their Facebook accounts and then sharing Viddy with all their friends.
However, Viddy never nailed activation. Many of the users who signed up never came back. Thus, when Facebook put a stop to their friend-blasting user-acquisition approach, they went into a tailspin from which they haven’t recovered.
Problem – account created was metric for success
40-60% of users who sign up for a free trial of y.However, people largely abandon applications for reasons which are within our control: because they do not perceive value from interacting with the software. We can decrease their abandonment rate by a) making our software better and b) communicating better with our users. our software or SaaS application will use it once and never come back.

Bingo Card Creator for Educators
As you can see, Patrick has broken down his activation funnel into 5 discrete steps, with some small number of users dropping off at each stage in the funnel.
If he were to focus on improving his activation rate, he’d likely run A/B tests to try and get more users customizing lists of bingo cards they’ve created (since that’s the step with the largest dropoff rate).

Understand the TRUE value of your product
As soon as I start the onboarding process, the quicker I receive the value that was promised, the more successful the onboarding experience.
Short pieces of news they are interested in reading
Be connected with people they know
“It turned out that if you manually selected and followed at least 5-10 Twitter accounts in your first day on Twitter, you were much more likely to become a long term user, since you had chosen things that interested you. And if we helped someone you know follow you back, then even better. As we kept tweaking the features to focus on helping users achieve these things, our retention dramatically rose.”

SQUARESPACE INTRODUCES USERS TO THE PRODUCT WITH AN WALKTHROUGH WELCOME VIDEO THAT SHOWS THEM HOW TO USE THE PRODUCT AND FOLLOWS WITH A JOYRIDING APPROACH WITH TOOL TIPS TO CLARIFY FUNCTIONALITY.
The “joyriding” approach walks the user through the features of an app or highlights the key features. It’s great because it clears up a lot of confusion right from the get-go. I think of this as the go-to approach since it’s what first comes to mind when you really think “onboarding.” While joyriding tends to be the most common process, it can be executed in many beautiful ways.

NESS RELIES ON USER PREFERENCES FOR ITS DEFINING FUNCTIONALITY TO WORK. THE ONBOARDING OF THIS DESKTOP APP HAS USERS RATE 10 RESTAURANTS BEFORE THEY MOVE INTO THE EXPLORATION STAGE OF FINDING RESTAURANTS IN THE APP. A DELIGHTFUL INTERACTION IS THE LOGO/HEART FILLING UP AS RECS ARE INPUTTED.

Keep’s community unites the best products from across all e-commerce into a beautiful showcase of trending, unique and frankly, fabulous finds.
KEEP’S USE OF WHITESPACE, CALMING COLORS, AND CLEAN GRAPHICS MAKES THIS THREE-STEP PROCESS PAINLESS & EASY. THIS SETUP PROCESS ALLOWS THEM TO ENGAGE QUICKLY BECAUSE IT GETS USERS VIEWING CONTENT RIGHT OFF THE BAT.
The first time users sign in, they get a walkthrough while they’re also setting up the app and being prompted to take action. Let’s take a look at Pinterest.
Pinterest takes users through a setup process — complete with informative illustrations — and immediately follows with tool tips that allow the user to take action in the app. The use of dots allow users to see the end in sight.
What we’re calling “continued onboarding” are tactics a site uses to keep the user moving in the process of using the web application. LinkedIn, for example, has clear call outs at the top of your profile, most often asking you a question to add more information to your profile and encouraging you to “endorse” your connections. The incentive is getting a 100% complete profile, a continued setup approach, but getting that completion perhaps isn’t even possible!
LINKEDIN PROMPTS USERS WITH QUESTIONS THROUGH THEIR USAGE OF THE APP. THE STEP-BY-STEP “LET’S GET STARTED!” SECTION IS ALWAYS PRESENT — EVEN AT 500+ CONNECTIONS!
