Comment on Ask HN: I have a startup but no marketing budget, how to promote?

I think your initial target should be people who really dig independent artists and proactively try to support them. Where do you find these people? At local shows.

I'd hit up the end of local performances and pass out flyers. You may laugh but I've found flyers to be very effective if you nail the targeting.

That aside, I'd personally simplify your pricing screen. I've already decided to buy and then find that you want me to make all these decisions about how much I want to pay overall, how much I want to pay the artist etc.

For Humble Bundle, I very much liked the ability to split things up how I wanted to.
