Ask HN: How To Get Users?

One more approach that you can follow:

1. Zero out your target location,

2. Go to fiverr.com -> Advertising -> Flyers and Handouts.

3. Choose a person providing a gig at your target location at some school, university or a public place.

4. Make a nice flyer using GIMP or photoshop with your app details and a QR code to download the app.

5. Have him/her use this flyer for distribution.

   I have used it for my app and it has worked to acquire location based app users.

For more details you can contact me. Email address in my profile.

I've tried this with 6 different Fiverr people using a unique signup code. Not a single user from it. There is no way they are posting these flyers in 50 locations per the ad on Fiverr. They threw up a couple on bulletin boards flooded with flyers.

I would have guessed that the guys who "distributes" are better than those who "post". Have you tried these?

That's a great idea! I will save this one for later for me.
