A CLEAR Objective – Fill a need!
• What consumer problem does the site solve?
• Users don’t care about “cool” – they care about value
• Don’t try to fill too many needs – be a CATEGORY KILLER

CLEAR POSITIONING – What is this site about?
• Technology is necessary but not sufficient
• It’s all marketing
• Communicate your value clearly and quickly – “Why should I care?”

CLEAR and PRACTICAL Monetization Model
• Users pay for value they can’t get elsewhere. What unique value do you provide?
• “Hard value” – Users pay for transactions(VietnamWorks, Caravat, eBay, VinaGame)
• “Soft value” – Users don’t pay, just advertising(YuMe.vn, VNexpress, blogs, video sites, news sites)
• Hard value if easier to monetize than Soft value
• Payment payment payment!

UX Rule: Don’t make me think!
• “UX” = “User Experience”
• Bad UX: Users have to think
• Good UX: Users don’t have to think
• Go buy “Don’t Make me Think” by Steve Krug
