If your app is making these 3 copy mistakes, then it could be why your user activation rate sucks... MISTAKE #1: No Progress Indicators ❌ Users see: "Create your account" ✅ Users need: "Step 1 of 3: Create your account" MISTAKE #2: Asking for Too Much Too Soon ❌ "Tell us about your company, role, team size, industry, goals..." ✅ "What should we call you?" → Get them in first, details later MISTAKE #3: Zero Value Before Asking for Effort ❌ "Complete your profile to get started" ✅ "Here's your first insight based on [data they already gave]" THE FIX: Map your onboarding like this: • Screen 1: Minimum info to get in (email + password) • Screen 2: ONE question that unlocks immediate value • Screen 3: Show them value (even if incomplete) • Screen 4+: Now ask for more details What's the worst onboarding flow you've abandoned?
