Now until April 1st!

Structure

• We are in a sprint for the next month!
• Politics is your top priority!
• 2 weekly standups on T & Th

Goal

Add 10,000 consistent DAUs to Manifold by Election Day by building out our politics product and marketing/outreach funnel.

• Unfortunately, this primary season is quite boring so we can expect most of the growth in DAUs to come later in the election cycle.
• Our job is to build out Politics now so that we are in a position to go viral when a big news story drops (Trump court cases?). If we wait until the viral event to try and improve our product and marketing channels, it will be too late.
• Except for curation of markets and news stories, we should be able to build out all major aspects of our politics product now in the next month

Milestones

• Have all custom UIs on the politics dashboard complete by April 1st

• Increase Politics Viewers from 1,000 → 4,000 by April 1st (consistently)

  • These are the number of unique visitors to our politics dashboard everyday
  • Should be doable even if news cycle is stagnant
  • Doing this involves engaging core users as well as getting more top-of-funnel users
  • Need to figure out partnerships, ad campaigns, etc to ensure a continuous stream of new users and traffic

  

This week

• Get ready for Super Tues (March 5th)
• Finish backporting content from old site
• Set up Politics news dashboards
• Pinned markets on top of elections page (’trending’?)
• Have most of the markets we need for custom UIs created
  • exceptions: House races, policy markets
