Comment on Ask HN: How do you promote your website?

Comments

A list of probably obvious things to try:

HackerNews Delicious Links StumbleUpon Niche blogs - There are people who don't get a lot of freebies who will actually do a full write-up in exchange for a free trial etc. Without knowing what your product is, it's hard to reccomend anything to specific in this category. Twitter - Tweet about new features, promotions, related news at least once a day. This is also a nice informal way for your users to speak directly to you in a public forum. Company blog - Get a Tumblr or something and have this feed to your tweets as well. Facebook page

Out of curiosity, what's the audience?

My startup offers online surveys, which are mainly used for research, company and employee evaluation, and feedback.

I don't consider the service so glamorous, but I think its useful and I'd like to spread the word as much as possible. I come from a programming side, so I can make all the website magic happens, promoting my website does not come so naturally to me.

i assume this is your web site? http://new.surveyshare.com

who do you consider your main competitors? survey monkey?

anyway, you might want to think about running an adwords campaign and using the names of your competitors as the keywords and target them directly... like we under cut their prices... or something of that nature.
