Ask HN: How to promote to web designers?
Hey,
Right now, I'm building and online course aimed to teach web development, from novice to employable. For free. It's located at http://howtocode.io
So far, I reached a little over 50% of the targeted users registrations. Surveying the users so far, I notice many have a technical background of some kind. Still, I strongly believe that web designers (not coders) would not only benefit from the course but also be interested.
My question is this: how do I get in touch with them? I don't want to spam or spend fortunes on ads. How would you tackle this?
Thanks!

- wasd 13y agoHave you considered reaching out to different design blogs and giving their users a free month? Have you reached out to influential twitter users who have a design audience? Let us know what you've already tried.
- nicoschuele 13y agoVery good ideas, there! Thank you. But giving users a free month? No way! The entirety of the course is... free for all!
- goblin89 13y agoLanding page says: > The crowdfunding campaign and building of the course will start as soon as enough people have signed up. If you plan crowdfunding, why not do it earlier? Putting up a Kickstarter may give the project some publicity.
- nicoschuele 13y agoI don't want to start a campaign before getting an audience :-) I think this is a mistake that many new entrepreneurs make.
