- artursapek 9y agoWhy? People hate ads. If your service grows with no spending on ads, it means you're getting traffic from word-of-mouth. And that indicates that you've built a great service that people are happy to promote for you. It just shows your product has virtue and it's naturally taken as a compliment. I'd compare it to having a kid. If you have money you can probably buy your kid into a good school and hook them up with a good job when they graduate. Or you can set them up with the right foundation and watch them succeed on their own. I did the same as the OP with a project of mine. I never spent a penny on ads and it's grown into a very popular charting/trading tool among cryptocurrency traders. I also take pride in the fact that I grew it organically.
- davidivadavid 9y agoWhat you're addressing here seems orthogonal to me. You can use "marketing" for a crappy product, and you can use it for a good product. All combinations exist. What's puzzling is that you would deprive yourself from making your great product known to more people simply because you want to do it the "hard way." Forgive me, but I'd call it "the dumb way."
