Very interesting article. Reading your post I have found very interesting and useful information. I really like your list, especially "Seek the low hanging fruit in the funnel." I will try to follow your recommendations! Thanks a lot for sharing it and I will be waiting for other great ones from you.

I agree, usability and design/copy aren't the be-all end all. There are two things more important:

Do people have the problem you claim to solve?
Can you deliver the promised solution?

Words, pictures, SEO, buzz, usability, etc. mean nothing here. A little honestly and simplicity can get 90% of people past whatever usability/presentation hump you have.

Retention (not acquisition) depends on delivery.

The good news is that if you have correctly identified the problem, and people know it, then solving it is just a matter of work. Solving it in a profitable way though, that's the trick of business.

I'm not dismissing the importance of marketing, but that just gets you to step 2 of the funnel.
