How we got our 1,000 first subscribers with no budget

Hi Nico<p>very nice idea - the sort of thing I'm searching for so long time. Some background: I am a online marketing pro who's learning RoR in the freetime because a weekend project wants to be turned to live (a special cooking app), lol. If you ever need some professional advices (non-paid, lol) in online marketing (SEO, SEA, SMM etc.) drop me a line.<p>btw: there could be a startup scene in Switzerland - but most people are not well connected (devs, marketing guys, sales person etc.) - I'm from Berne

About a year ago I came to Haker News to ask for guidance on how to market a new service I was creating. At that time, LinksWeaver was its name but now, it changed.<p>I received some feedback and now, as we have a little over 1,000 subscribers, I took time to write how we actually achieved this. Without spending money and without a finished product.<p>It is a very long read on my personal blog. Maybe it will be useful to someone who has the same questions I had back then.<p>Have a great day,<p>Nico
