This was a great post! Though it’s almost a year old all of your suggestions are still very relevant. When I launched http://www.hipstr.com a few weeks ago I figured I had an uphill battle to accrue traffic but not like the one I’ve faced.

I’m going to take your tips to heart.

Thanks,

Craig

First off, thank you for the work your doing both on your site and to promote best practices for social media. I found the list to be super informative, and highlight things we have discovered along the way but should have heeded earlier. My only addition would be to make an effort to meet your end user where they spend their time. For me it was outside rock climbing, skiing, surfing etc. While I have been involved in those sports for as long as I can remember, when we began constructing LifeUnderSun.com the problems we had in mind were not ultimately the problems our end users wanted solved. This realignment is an ongoing process and has been fruitful. Going out to the end user with a realistic portrayal of what you do (not your pitch but the 100% real utility) and soliciting feedback without much structure have been our savior. Thank you again for sharing your knowledge and I wish tip’d the best of luck.

PS. Isreal, great idea.

Good stuff man. I had no budget with Health Ranker, and it’s done pretty good I’d say. It’s all about the niche and the need. When I launched, there were about 3 low end competitors and 1 major semi-related one, that oddly enough was canned after we came out.

Be passionate and realistic too.
