How To Get People To “Get” Your App

When you get an idea, sometimes it’s hard to explain it to other people.

That’s a problem.

How will anyone know how to build what they don’t understand?

How will your users know they want to download the app in the first place?

Problem.

Thankfully, there’s a quick & easy solution for that.  Your tagline.

A tagline is a super short, one sentence explainer of your idea.

For example, if we were to tagline Start Up My App (our premium course launching on Monday,) we’d say something like:

Premium course that teaches students how to plan their app and get it built without wasting time learning to code.

Yes, it does more than that… It’ll help you build a remote team, find the right people to reliably get it done, get the app released into the app stores and actually turn it into a business if you want.

But how can you explain all of that quickly and easily for someone in the first pass?

You can’t.  That’s why you need a tagline.

And this can be a simple thing too.  Here’s something I see all the time in the startup world:  The (something I know) for (problem I solve.)

Using Start Up My App again, a tagline could be:  Netflix for App CEO teachings.

 

See what we did there?  Everyone knows what Netflix is:  Media on demand.  The course is media that teaches you to be an App CEO.  Got it.

So now that you see how important a tagline is, what’s yours?
