Knowledge Sharing:
1. The products on the platform (rental listings, videos and apps respectively) are the ultimate products with which the consumers interact.
2. Sometimes, it helps to learn manually what works and then, automate it, instead of automating and testing a hundred times.
3. Some features are creative.
4. A simple tweak that goes a long way in making the platform self-sustainable.
5. Before launching a platform, you should understand the motivations that drive creators to contribute. A common theme across all platforms is visibility, self-expression and/or recognition.
6. “We feature the most voted creations on the front page” is a clear proposition as it specifies how the ‘best’ are separated from the ‘rest’.
