nice advice. Found the point about tuesday-thursday and how early to tell press most interesting.
David, obviously weebly has received a lot of good/big coverage, how much of it was through your direct affect (i.e contacting the reporter) and how much through serendipitous circumstances?
- drusenko 19y ago- Newsweek was through YC generally, but not all companies in the round got a mention in the article, so it certainly had some to do with our effort. - Time reporter contacted us initially, but she sent out the same email to a lot of startups. The real effort was in (first) just getting back to her, and (second) properly selling the start-up and vision. She made the original email sound as if it wasn't a big article at all. - NBC, BBC were serendipitous, but most likely as a result of our growing user base (more people out there who knew about us/recommended us). - The rest were all as a result of us contacting reporters (TechCrunch, GigaOm, VentureBeat, Mashable, etc)
