Ask HN: How to convince site visitors to "Sign up with Facebook"?

2 points by praveenaj ↗ HN
Hi. I recently announced the pre-launch of Kloser.me on HN (https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5611680). Kloser uses authorized facebook data to connect and match people with similar interests and personalities. On the first day of launch, I was able to get 250+ visits thanks to HN, but only a few ended up actually "Signing up" for the service, using Facebook. I could have let users sign up using their emails during this pre-launch, but eventually such users will have to authorize Kloser to import facebook data in order to get started.

Which methods you think I can use to convince users to "Login with facebook"?

Thanks.

If a visitor doesn't have one, I don't think you can.

Don't let users sign in with e-mail. Just let them use their facebook account.

That's the best way to do it. Try to sell it as a feature, something like:

"Aren't you tired of filling forms with your data over and over again? We are too! Use your facebook account."
