Rolling along
Nearly two weeks in now and things are still rolling along. We stand at 156 registered users with 60 of them public, maintaining an approximate 40% rate. The site passed 10,000 page views the other day, and we’re now averaging nearly 1000 page views and 171 unique users a day.
You may have noticed yesterday that we added the ability to browse by category. Madame X was right on top of it, and beat me to the punch with her post yesterday. This feature gives the ability to easily look at the profiles in a particular age group, income range, education level, or occupation. The browsing is part of the overall “compare” feature of the site. But since it only applies to public profiles, we still need a way to compare to all of the private profiles as well (on an aggregrate level), and that’s what we’re working on now.
On the promotion front, the CotC post was a big boost and I’m on the lookout for other places to do similar things. While NetworthIQ is in beta, we’re focusing on spreading the word through bloggers (thanks bloggers!) and word of mouth as much as possible to build a solid userbase. Once we get the compare feature done and some other enhancements, we’ll be ready to bring the site out of beta and start reaching out to the more general personal finance/business sites and publications. Unless of course, through the power of the blogosphere, some big publication picks us up first. That wouldn’t hurt my feelings at all :-).
