After posing a question on HN asking what are the biggest marketing/PR problems startups face, it seems that user acquisition is one of the biggest issues. So, I wrote a post that gives some tips on attracting users for startups. Like my last post, some of the tips are pretty obvious, but I hope these are some good steps to get started.
Please let me know if this post is useful or if you have any questions. I know that a lot of these points are of the "duh" variety, but if you have any questions specific to your startup, I'm happy to help.
