How did you market this to get that many visitors?
- kowdermeister 10y agoHacker News probably did the majority of the seeding.
- cdiamand 10y agoI actually launched my side project on indiehackers - http://www.oppsdaily.com http://www.oppsdaily.com - a newsletter filled with software opportunities. I posted some of the traffic stats here http://www.oppsdaily.com/blog http://www.oppsdaily.com/blog
- Arcsech 10y agoThis looks really cool. I signed up.
- cdiamand 10y agoWow, thanks so much! I hope you find it useful. :D
- vyrotek 10y agoThis may be the first time I've deliberately signed up for a newsletter. Great idea.
- tamkeenlms 10y agoI love the idea so much. Good luck :)
- tmaly 10y agoI just signed up for versioning newsletter, all I did was pit in my email and I got a quick confirmation. I also signed up for oppsdaily, but the verification with MailChimp was quite difficult. I had to select pictures with grass, then select images with house numbers, then select new images with house numbers. You might want to consider using a different provider.
- kek918 10y agoThis is Googles captcha system and its used by a bunch of services. It has nothing to do with Mailchimp (except that they use reCAPTCHA) so changing mailing list provider for this might not be a wise idea. With that said, I much rather prefer this new reCAPTCHA compared to their old version with hardly any readable characters.
- csallen 10y agoAs kowdermeister pointed out, lots of the visitors come from Hacker News (~50%). I figured the site would be popular here based on the popularity and regularity of threads like this one! Since launching, I've continued to submit one new interview from IH to HN at the end of each month, and they usually make top 3 on the front page.
- ggcdn 10y agoIn the blog section of IndieHackers he talks about this. Primarily HackerNews. It's a good read.
- andrewstuart2 10y agoWell, for one, it's a very very common question here on HN, nad I can't think of a time I've seen the question asked that he hasn't helpfully responded pointing out his site, which has lots of answers to the exact question people keep asking. It's really a win/win, and because he's sincerely answering the questions, it doesn't come across as awkward of misplaced self-promotion.
