Best way to inform people about your web startup - Advice pls
I started a web start-up recently which focuses on the blogging community. I want to know the best way to let people know that we exist. Thinking of a press release, contacting bloggers, advertising. Contacting bloggers is a very slow and tedious process which has yielded no result. Pls advice. Thanks HN members
- knoxos 16y agoI had good experience with twitter and facebook (if it is a B2C product) in the past. Press release is also important, but in the past most of related big internet sites ignored our press releases - I think you need to figure out who (responsibly person) to send your pr (e.g. at techcrunch, heise, TR etc...) to be not ignored. If you have a physical product a good way to promote it is to send it to related bloggers and internet sites to test your product.
- sammville 16y agoThanks for the advice. It is an advertising network to help website owners sell directly to advertisers. I doubt techcrunch an other big pr sites would want to cover us. I was thinking of a paid pr release.
- iworkforthem 16y agoProbably start with the influential bloggers first, a post from them it's worth many hours of working doing it yourself.
