Getting programmers, housewives, accountants or teenagers to use something all require very different approachs. Fundamentally you need to get product information in front of your target market. How you do that will vary.

Most people have never heard of Twitter (or at least never been there) or killerstartups or squidoo. We've found out the hard way that marketing toward Joe the Plumber takes a much different set of tricks.
- mixmax 18y agoVery true - if you have any elaborations we'd love to hear..
- nathanburke 18y agoYou're right, these are pretty obvious and appealing to a mass audience is much harder than just marketing to the tech crowd. I'd suggest checking out Andrew Chen's blog: http://andrewchenblog.com/ http://andrewchenblog.com/ This guy is THE guy to read when it comes to user acquisition.
