Even if it takes such a site 2x-4x as long to grow as it would with more expensive marketing, doesn't the fact that what it produces is over and above one's full time employment mean that growing as fast is less critical? After all, with self-financing you don't have people waiting to collect their investment money.
- rms 19y agoThat's true. I guess my point is that sites need some kind of marketing to succeed, unless they build something that "goes viral" and it takes luck and a product people truly want for that to happen. An advantage of the VC funding is that the investors will make sure you worry about marketing. I'm just thinking of a recent post on here where a guy said "I launched my startup. I need more traffic. What do I do now?" So as long as these guys have some kind of plan for marketing, they can do it themselves.
