I drew a simple diagram of the method some use to test market interest in a product (http://www.scribd.com/doc/74937130/Startup-Pretest). How would you add to or modify this method?

launchrock is not two words and it's unbounce, not ubounce. Also I'd say either launchrock or kickofflabs

thanks for that-will note for revision. kickofflabs looks very impressive. those are three options vs coding a launch page yourself, since they provide a platform for testing.

What's the reason for setting up hosting so early if you're still using launchrock/unbounce to test the viability of the idea?

good point. Hosting is not needed if using a launch page testing service. But it will necessary eventually to host the beta site.

The whole process seems challenging as the time for a email lead to go cold is short, while the time to develop the beta MVP site is longer, so I am very interested to learn how to address this - which means keeping the contacts warm without turning them off.
