Viral waitlist
A waitlist that grows itself
Collect signups before you launch, then let the queue do the marketing. Everyone who joins gets a position and a share link, and moves up as friends sign up behind them.

Frequently asked questions
What is a viral waitlist?
A viral waitlist is a signup list where each person can move up by referring other people. Because moving up is the reward, the list grows from its own signups instead of only from paid traffic.
Can I start the queue at a higher number?
Yes. You can set a participant offset so public positions and counts start from a number you choose. Your dashboard and exports always show the real figures.
How do I stop people gaming it?
Duplicate emails are prevented, a captcha and a hidden honeypot field block bots, and you can require double opt-in so only confirmed addresses earn a position.
What happens when I am ready to launch?
Your waitlist signups are already contacts in SMASHSEND. Send a broadcast to everyone, or segment by referral count and invite your best advocates first.
