candicorr··on Ask HN: How can I promote my start-up quickly?
That's infinitely better than what you wrote before.

I think if you take a step back from your screen and look at the visual shape of what you just wrote, and the visual shape of the original story text, you can see how confusing the original looked just from that.

Did you write the first text in a hurry? With big things like announcing to HN, I would write one day, get friends to give brutal criticism, then submit the next day.

I'd like to try it, but I can't find any sample chapter.

It sounds really complicated. My mind fogged over on point 1. Can you work out a way to make it simpler to understand? You talk about the increase of spam RSVPs. I've never seen that problem - can you make me understand it? Is your first language not English? You're making lots of grammar mistakes that could make your writing look unprofessional.

To understand my confusion, this is how I read your pitch. I want to run some kind of professional event. I want people to come to that, but I can't just invite them, I must make them perform some kind of tasks first. Why would anyone do that? I want them at my event, so why am I make them work? And what tasks are these? Solving captchas?!
