Ask HN: How to solve chiken and egg problem for my current HN like startup?
https://hindumediawiki.com/
The design is inspired by Hackernews and initial users have liked it, now when it coming to traction, the only channel I have is twitter, where we have created a handle for the website and people are visiting the site through it. (the handle has crossed 6k+ followers in one month)
Now I am getting almost 600-1k pageviews every day without promoting actively but very few signups (~5-10) and very few submissions (~1-3).
We have inhouse users who keep posting interesting things on the site which make the site looks like it's active but how to gain the natural growth in terms of content (which will help us grow in SEO and will bring more visitors).
1) Can anyone give the idea of their own past experiments like this?
2) can you please give links of some posts on the web, where this issue is discussed?
3) what do you think can be next To Do steps?
