RigShare - Just launched, could use some feedback

We officially launched RigShare today! It's a social network for musicians to share their music gear. We are currently working on spreading the word via social media and other online outlets.

Please check the site out and let me know if you have any suggestions or questions.

https://rigshare.com

Once things start rolling I'll be sure to post an update on progress, challenges, and lessons learned.

Thanks!

    Tip for the future: You should give your thread a more descriptive name that people will understand and be interested in opening. Simply calling it "RigShare" won't mean anything to the vast majority of people reading the forum and thus will be ignored.

    However, something like, "Just launched, could use some feedback" is 10x more descriptive and attractive to readers. They actually know what they're getting into and can make a decision to participate or not.

    Or if you want to be really good, ask for help with a specific problem, e.g. "Is the copy on my landing page clear?" Then not only do they know what they're getting into, but they know the limits of what's being asked of them. This is probably 10x better than just asking for general feedback, which requires people to jump through hoops and think about what kind of feedback you need.

    (Thinking about things from your audience's point of view is useful for pretty much anything you write/create, not just IH forum posts.)

    Congrats on the launch.

    Just a quick bit of feedback for your landing/index page:

    You do a good job of explaining what you do, but a bad job of explaining why I should care.

    Before you talk about what your product does, you need to make 100% sure that I (the potential customer) understand why I need your product first. Otherwise, why would I care about what your product does?

    Good luck!

      Thanks Louis. You've given me a couple things to think about

    Great idea Thiery. I think you could "pump up" the landing page a bit though. Landing page sells to the visitor. Yours is very basic and few more information about why a visitor needs it and how it works would be nice.
    Good luck!

      Thanks Bart! Plan on doing so in the near future.
