Ask HN: Any startups looking for a free marketing guy?
I'm in my last year of school and looking to help out a startup to gain some more experience.
- sammcd 17y agoI'm not really interested, but I think other people will have the same question I do, so I'll ask. As a someone planning on launching a product very soon. What can you do for me?
- pjharrin 17y agoI can do any of the following: SEO, blogging, social network marketing, work to get you exposure on other blogs
- ericb 17y agoI'd be interested in hearing more about what you're looking for, and offering. On gmail, I'm ebeland.

- raghus 17y agoCan you email me at raghu.srinivasan@gmail.com
- paraschopra 17y agoYou can email me at paras@wingify.com, if marketing online advertising technology (web analytics, split testing, etc.) interests you.
- rcfox 17y agoUnlikely, as you've done a rather poor job of marketing yourself. 1) The title for this doesn't make sense. Obviously, we can tell that two ideas conflicted, but a second read-over would have caught this. 2) You list no qualifications, abilities, interests. sammcd put it nicely: "What can you do for me?" You should have already answered this! 3) Your .info domain doesn't look very professional, and it doesn't point anywhere meaningful! That is, unless you're currently working for GoDaddy. Even then, the animated ads don't reflect well on you.
- ojbyrne 17y agoAnd yet, currently there's six people who've supplied emails for more contact.
- mattwdelong 17y agoI think he had them at free. However, free is not always the cheapest route.
- petercooper 17y agoA lot of people do a poor job at hiring too.
- pjharrin 17y ago1) My apologies 2) I've done some simple SEO, social network marketing, PPC and blogging in the past. Will to do whatever is needed. If you don't trust me to do more advanced tasks we can build up to it. 3) For some reason GoDaddy stopped pointing to my tumblr blog, waiting for the records to update. Thank you for pointing this out I'll go and change my profile
- dstorrs 17y agodstorrs@lifethunder.com -- drop me a line and let's talk.

- zaidf 17y agoI get the feeling that you are either vastly undervaluing yourself or you don't have much to offer. Either is fine--but you should know which of the two applies best to you. You might still get an internship, but I'd argue if you give it some thought, you could get more bang for your buck(time and skills)! 1. Pretend that due to a constraint, you cannot offer your services for free 2. Ask yourself how much you can charge? 3. You'll likely find yourself asking what you'll be charging for. Note down the answers because they are your best skills. 4. If you want to do it for free, think about what you'd like to gain in return. Consider it like swapping salary for a new skill or two. This is a simple process to jot down what you can contribute, what your skills may be worth, what you may be able to exchange your current skills for. As opposed to random crapshoot which will probably lead to a disappointing end--as most things do if you're not somewhat clear about your goals. Good luck! I saw your tumblr and you definitely have insights you can apply to all kinds of work.
