It's interesting that you say Hacker, because it is really the avenue we've used least. Facebook was a good start, because friends can invite friends, and so on

It's interesting that you say Hacker, because it is really the avenue we've used least. Facebook was a good start, because friends can invite friends, and so on. But it tends to seem like spam there which is an immediate turn off.
How did you go about contacting the writers? Did you have prior relationships with them or some sort of contact?
Thanks a lot for the great response!
- bloggergirl 15y agoThe reference to reaching out directly to writers was actually based less on P99T and more on a different startup we used to own, a realtor rating site. In that case, we found a writer for a major newspaper that we wanted to write a story on us --- just looked him up online and called him up --- and pitched the story over the phone. We followed up by sending him a press release we'd written... so we did actually write a press release, we just didn't -- and still haven't -- found it valuable to send it out over the newswire. Good luck!
