Ask HN: How did you get your first 1000 users?
Just wondering what kind of techniques people have used to get users when launching new websites/services. What brought in the most users? What did you find was a waste of time?

- pholmstr 16y agoI built something that would appeal to certain college professors (as well as others), then emailed probably a 100 of them to see if they would find it useful for their students. Remarkably, probably 25% not only responded positively, but posted it on their class websites. Great way to kick off an SEO campaign :)
