I tweeted at Drew Wilson and Josh Long who wrote the Execute book. I had no prior relationship with them, and they were kind enough to retweet, after I let them know how the book inspired me. This triggered a lot of traffic from designers, and since some of those folks liked our design/product, it got posted to Designer News and some other galleries where it picked up more traffic.
We later got on BetaList which drove about 300 signups and a bunch of traffic to each product. That was easy, just submitted the site, and eventually got included.
I think all of that traffic converted better than usual thanks to solid design, and good communication of the core value of each product via showing, and not telling with a dry headline :-)
- krmmalik 13y agoHow long did it take before Betali.st featured you? i submitted my app over 8 weeks ago
- alexshye 13y agoAwesome.. exactly what I was looking for :) I'm in the process of trying to drive initial traffic to the Soulmix private beta (http://www.soulmix.com http://www.soulmix.com), so this is helpful. I would love to see more people say exactly what they did to drive traffic at the early stages of site. Bloggers often make it sound trivial, but I'm not sure that is true.
