Ask HN: What's your secret for creating network effects?

The only way to build a network is to start with a network. Here's a trick that's worked for me: Arrange with a conference organizer to connect people who are already there. After all, you know that these folks want to talk. once you have that critical seed, everything else will follow. Just make sure that your first users get real value out of your app!

I looked at rightjoin.io and the design is beautiful! Best of luck.

@mehmedrecip, You're basically right, but there's a modicum of luck in all these things. Anyway, I agree that rightjoin.io is beautifully designed.

I checked out the features and it looks like they know what they're doing. Good stuff, best of luck to them. The industry needs some new techniques.
