This is HN, where some people run small businesses and know how hard it is to acquire customers.
Newsletters aren't spam and most cold callers only call once, or will stop calling if you ask them.
- ferongr 13y ago>Newsletters aren't spam Unsolicited marketing e-mails are spam. Unless I have explicitly opted into them I mark them as spam in GMail.
- dictum 13y agoYes. By "newsletters" I meant "marketing email you've subscribed to". Personally, I'm okay with receiving a newsletter from a service I've subscribed to (but only from the company—no "special partners"), even if I didn't specifically input my email address in a "subscribe to our newsletter" form, as long as there is a permanent way to unsubscribe.
- na85 13y agoSorry, if your startup has to resort to spam and cold-calling then the market isn't there/isnt ready for you.
