Live growth

When traffic growth slowed, Taobao Live turned to users who watch to earn rewards. We built a task-and-reward loop inside the channel. As design PM I led two designers on the upgrade.

05OverviewWork

Start from the goal to define behaviour,
then design the interface around it.

The model is three steps: arrive, take part and win, come back and win again. Each step has its own job: reach, intent, depth.

Arrive

Reach

A short new-user path. Rewards and tasks are obvious.

Take part

Intent

Watch, check in, finish a task — the reward is certain.

Return

Depth

Come back the next day. Turn activity into retention.
