Ask HN: would you pay to guarantee your app's first 1k users?
For HN readers who have launched (or are about to launch) web apps: how did you get the first set of users to start using the service?
Not everyone manages to get into techcrunch or win one of those startup competitions, which is often the way to 'seed' your first 1k users...
Would you pay, on a success basis, for a service to deliver you your application's first x users? Say, $1 per new registered user? If not, why not?
