No Comments Grow your email list, fast!
I love this idea.
You know how new websites have a “Placeholder Page” ask you to submit your email address in their pre-launch phase, and they try to lure you in with promises of exciting stuff happening soon, soon, soon?
It often works, but sometimes it just doesn’t. We all suffer with email overload, and most of us think twice before submitting our email address for anything.
But this site has a way around that! They give you just ONE MINUTE to sign up. So you better hurry! You have no idea what will happen if the one minute expires BEFORE you sign up, so you just do it in case. And since the site is called “Minute Race“, I suspect that the one minute deadline is an integral part of what they are going to be offering as a service. Which means that if the deadline hooks you into signing up, it means that you are probably the ideal target user. So double score!

(By the way, if the one minute DOES expire, you get to “Try Again” :-) )
