Disclosure: I'm the other half of the startup. :)
Being specific sounds like great advice, but it still prompts the question as to how to advertise yourself -- should I just roll around and tell people how I can massively improve the performance of their Ruby (Rails or not) web stack, or are there some specific tactics that you've employed that work well?
- ddemchuk 16y agoWell, I was lucky enough to be an active participant at the forum I ended up announcing my service at, so I already had a reputation around my name. I make it a point to answer people's questions and really give good advice, something that a lot of people don't like to do sometimes, so when I announced my service, the trust was already there from all of the users who saw it. Now, it is a bit of a risk to my reputation, as I need to come through on the service to make sure I make people happy. But, it's nice to be able to say "this is the service I'm offering. It costs X dollars. Take it or leave it"
