combiclickwiseon Ask HN: How do I market my product?

yes. I do realize it is ambiguous. Other people have complained too. They see the point but they can quite get hold of what it looks, behaves like.

industries where speed and CR matters is what I am looking at as well.. export businesses, the hospitality and travel industry for example. Thanks :-)

I have that built in already :-) luckily the product allows for that. Its here in case you haven't seen it http://www.updatesitenow.com/

I am also writing to a couple of popular blogs in industries I have chosen to start in, to give it away free as an experiment. It is in the hope that the "powered by" link could get me other users in that industry interested.

Wordpress is a huge universe by itself and it makes sense to start from there.

Its a way for website owners to talk to customers directly. most of them have to talk to a web designer/webmaster, probably outsourced, so the idea is to allow the website owners to share day-to-day news about their company in a casual manner (via SMS, Email), not just by issuing press releases.

combiclickwiseon Ask HN: How do I market my product?

Brilliant. I could have a sub-domain for each industry, offer visual themes related to it as well. Thanks

combiclickwiseon Ask HN: How do I market my product?

I guess you are right. You do seem to have a comparable problem as you grasped mine perfectly.

So instead of buying google adwords for "website plugin" I could spin it for each industry maybe with relevant anecdotes. looking at it this way, it looks like not being niche is suddenly a great advantage because I can run through each industry.

Thanks :-)

combiclickwiseon Ask HN: I made $1M - what now?

I think by just being aware of it. Thats all you need. There is no further big secret "how" to it.

Tell yourself you are looking to find something that you will enjoy doing and sooner or later you will find it.

I enjoy programming, creating stuff with computers and I know how lucky I am that I get a chance to do it and also get paid for it. This passion also shows on me I think.. so when people ask me how they can find it I always tell them to just be aware of it.

I sincerely hope that helps.
