Course overview

Create powerful user onboarding that becomes the base for your product growth

Activated users have a 4x higher Conversion rate to pay.


User onboarding is a key product experience. From a business perspective, it helps you activate, retain, and monetize users and creates a base for future scale. From the user perspective, it provides value and helps achieve goals with the product.


You can already have 1st session tutorials, high-touch onboarding, or a product that has a lot of value, but:


- you are not sure how to drive your product activation metric;

- you're creating self-serve onboarding from scratch;

- you need to get deep knowledge in Onboarding and Activation;

- you need a fresh perspective on the existing onboarding journey;
