"We Spent $1,500,000 on Ads Without Getting a Single Customer" but they did get the top #1 spot on Hacker News so maybe that's all they wanted? Just wine about spending all this money (poorly) and make a post about it and get free advertising with a trip to the front page of Hacker News.

- HWR_14 3y agoWhat's the value of a top HN post? Probably not $1.5MM. But not zero.

- Vagantem 3y agoHey there - author of article here. As the article mentions in the beginning, this is a spend that happened before I started consulting them - and the blog has nothing to do with the actual company. Also, I'm a developer now so don't do consulting any more.. Merely writing this down for my own record and if it can help/inspire anyone else so not looking for free advertising. But thank you for reading!
