Hi,<p>This question is more for solo-founders (i.e. people without funding or big PR teams). Let&#x27;s say you have a great idea and you managed to create your site but now what happens?<p>There is a huge list on submit.co but most of these sites are too big for small projects (techcrunch, producthunt, etc) or have a waiting list of 2+ months (betalist, etc). The list is still helpful though.<p>So how do you guys get the word out? Do you buy PPC ads? What are you favorite methods?<p>So far, I see the following methods getting some results for me:<p>1. Show HN, Reddit (merit based + no payment)
2. Openhunt (very new site + not much traffic)
3. PPC ads (facebook, adwords works but very costly for good keywords)
4. Contacting bloggers by twitter &#x2F; email who write about similar products (works sometime but time consuming)
5. Organic traffic (takes time but quality backlinks are hard to get)<p>What else there is? Please share your own personal experiences as to what worked for you and what is a waste of time, so all the startup wannabes (like me) can learn from each other! :)
Ask HN: What happens after your site is ready for launch? How to get traffic?
