Ask HN: What are some cheap but effective marketing strategies?

4 pointssuperdimwit2 comments

I have a small personal project I am planning to promote. I don't have a budget for any "traditional" advertising. What are some whacky, creative, and most importantly cheap / free marketing ideas to boost initial interest?

Depends on what you're selling. Walk door-to-door in your downtown shipping district and ask to see the owner. Go to meetups for your consumer target and tell people about your project in personal conversations. Whatever it is, get on your feet and pound pavement.

Will it be open source?
