Launched on Hacker News

Yesterday we launched eBooks on Hacker News and got to the front page! Overall it resulted in 100 page views and hoping for new signups. Here are three lessons I learned:

  1. Refine your website before launching. There were several typos and errors on my site that I could've fixed beforehand if I'd asked a few friends for their opinions.
  2. Submit multiple times if you have to. This was my third time submitting an attempt in two weeks. The first two didn't make it to the front page, but this one did.
  3. Don't pay attention to the haters. There will always be some negative commenters. Ignore them, try not to take it personally, and focus on the positive.

I'm excited for what comes next!

      Thanks ... not yet but it's still early days as I have only been active 6 days ago.
