Hackernews has "business-y" folks who might be active. You want people who can show that they've done marketing or hustled in things before. They probably have a blog which would give you an idea of what they are about. They should be on twitter engaging and basically have a good online presence because thats important to spread the word for any business.

have you looked at nytm.org/made?

You should read Scott Britton's blog life-longlearner.com. Its the best out there. It covers everything from cold emailing to how to do partnerships.

Would be awesome if you added Boston as an origin :)

Are you guys blogging? Start writing posts about what the celebrity is wearing and maybe talk about the dress and the call to action at the bottom can be to go to buy the dress.

i agree with domenic_s. you can replicate the model for your teams which might be as large as a company. honestly i shared what worked for me. even if this benefits one person, i will be happy.

you've got some great points here man. love your insight.
smit | 13 years ago | on: Networking Inside a Large Company
thanks for the kind words man :)

Good point. I guess HubSpot is large compared to startups. But some basic strategies like referrals can still apply to any size of the company.

good point. issue was that it was hard to fit the description and buttons above the fold. something clickable to scroll would have definitely been a good idea.

Great point. Our goal was just to have a campaign but it would be nice to have a system to keep track of the resolutions and maybe have resources to keep them.

Nice app. Looks very similar to http://startupresolution.com that we launched on hn on 29th.

If you can be an accredited investor, go on angellist and you can start investing as low as $1000 in startups. Another site which is going to launch after the crowfunding law is passed in January is Wefunder which will be open for everyone.

Makes sense for sure.
smit | 13 years ago | on: The "We're Hiring" Call To Action
I personally think its completely stupid to add a hiring CTA mainly because it takes away from your main CTA which is to convert the visitor into a customer. But if it doesn't hurt your funnel then there's no harm of adding it.
smit | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: I’m not cut out to be a programmer. What are my alternatives?
Sounds like you should just start with some consulting with someone with some bizdev/marketing chops and work with some cool companies. From there you can always stumble onto a good idea.
smit | 13 years ago | on: Ask HN: What social media metrics should we measure?
No problem. Definitely can run ads for things like getting fans for facebook pages. Just start with a small budget and see if anything comes out of it.
