Ask HN: Strategy for app release

7 pointskodeshpa5 comments

Hi , We are running beta for our application, what is best strategy to reach people and ask for signup ?

Note "Somehow my post in hackernews is coming in news and now in ask segment.

If you think your application is ready to go into a open/closed beta, you could for example link it here. However, you could also try reaching tech-related blogs (Techcrunch, Mashable) to cover your app.

An interesting read on "getting techcrunched" is the following:

I've never tried it, but it looks like a strategy worth trying if your application is interesting enough. Good luck!

Thanks, really helps. Any idea how to post such that it appears in ASK HN.

I have no experience with ASK HN, so I can't really help you on that. Sorry :)

I guess that if your app really solves a problem (or just offers some cool features so it gets hyped), it will be successful anyway.

I would suggest to post a descriptive link here?

I tried earlier check http://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=2109084 but my post is not appearing in ASK HN , any trick for it
