Ask HN: How would you get traffic for a new startup?
What methods do you use to get new users for your startups? Facebook, twitter, SEO, Paid Ads, ...?
- mranauro 15y agoJust posted on Quora about a similar topic. Here's what we did to launch Meeps: http://blog.meeps.com/post/4588034501/bb http://blog.meeps.com/post/4588034501/bb Got quite a lot of buzz and traction because it was something unique that tied into our core concept.
- dgunn 15y agoThat's a very interesting idea. I think a lot of startups would consider personal engagement at this level to be out of the question, but I'm going to seriously consider this approach (or a distant variation) for our beta launch.
- staunch 15y agoIt's impossible to talk about getting traffic without specifying what type of product you have. Is it a paid downloadable app, SAAS webapp, social network, etc? Most forms of paid advertising aren't cost effective unless you have a very direct way to convert traffic quickly into money and have pretty high margins.
- imjonathanlee 15y agoI'm asking in general what methods are available. What methods do you use for your startup, not mine. I personally use facebook, twitter and close friends and family to promote traffic to.
- staunch 15y ago"What methods do you use to get traffic for your startup" would have been a better title.
- jparicka 15y agoWhat is the startup?
- imjonathanlee 15y agothere isn't one. It's just a general question. The specific question lies on what you personally use for your own startups. Just seeing what the most popular choices are.
