Ask HN: I'm launching my startup in 3 days

5 pointsbhartzer10 comments

I'm launching my startup in 3 days. Site and product will be ready to go live. Where do I go from here? Where to promote it to get the word out?

Try to see how it organically grows on social media. Create a Twitter page for your company. If you make a blog for the product, you can post your blog posts on your companies social medias. On the blog you can post product update, talk about where the company originated from and more! It helps you build a "voice" and "personality" for your brand.

Reach out to your friends, family and people in your various networks and have them use the product to get honest feedback. If you have people whose feedback you respect, add them into a Trello board and ask them to give you feedback on Trello, so you can track and actually utilize their comments.

Definitely post the website on your LinkedIn as a blog post, so people in your LinkedIn network can see it.

Try to get onto cool podcasts to talk about your product like this one: http://techcrunch.com/2015/07/06/pitch-your-startup-in-the-t...

Best of luck!!

I think that this is a fantastic collection of approaches - http://www.quora.com/What-are-some-techniques-startups-use-t....

How can we help if we don't know what your startup does? A startup developing a product to help farmers is not gonna be promoted that same way a startup for electricians is.

It's a background check for domain names. Full background checks to make sure the domain wasn't "churned and burned" in the past.

This sounds like something people buying/selling websites would like, have you looked at communities like http://www.sitepoint.com and http://www.dnforum.com?

This might be something you could sell to people in the black hat seo community. You could try advertising on forums such as blackhatworld.com, warriorforum.com etc.

Hi,

There are great communities of growth hackers and marketers who would like to give you free advice, that's a great brain storming for them.
