Comment on Ask HN: How do you get people to use your product when you suck at networking?

Comments

Several things:

(1) Your real market is the people/companies seeking to hire freelancers. You need to focus the site on that. Once you start having jobs listed, the freelancers will come. Otherwise, as a freelancer there is no real reason to join unless you offering some other benefit. (2) It's fine if you only want to have freelancers from Mumbai or Bangalore, but if you want listings you need to open that up to more than just those to locations. (3) Change the Title of the page "No bullshit Listings for Freelancers" really doesn't sound professional and if you are targeting people/companies seeking to hire, may be a turn-off. (4) Create a landing page that tells what and why. I understand you want "simple" but at the same time you need to explain what/why/how.

based on feedbacks, here's a little demo landing page.. do you think its possible to work along these lines? http://freelancelistin.launchrock.com
