If you're actually trying to sell a product (I should hope so, if you're here asking this sort of question) then HN is probably the wrong target demographic to ask. I suppose it depends on what exactly it is you're trying to sell, but you'd likely do better with a tent outside your local mall. HN is not going to be representative of the vast majority of software market sectors.
