I launched an app to share articles,thoughts on a topic you are good at. eg:- "Fixing a refrigerator" to "Python for kids" and share everything you know and learn under it. How do i reach out to more people and build audience?

Re:Ask HN: Has cold calling/emailing ever worked for you? on Sunday March 19, 2017 @11:16PM (#13911427)
I think cold email only works when the email is to the point and has a personal touch to it. eg:- You tell the receiver how you adore his work or why this is the right thing for him to do. It requires you to be particular,honest and also needs a personal touch point. Otherwise I doubt cold emails will work.
Re:Launch HN: Wifi Dabba (YC W17) – Low-Cost Wifi in India on Thursday March 16, 2017 @12:18AM (#13882442)
I don't understand one point. Bakeries and petty shops are not the places where people sit or spend more than a few minutes. Even if you were to,you are busy grabbing a coffee or a cigarette. Even though the number of people is very high, I dont see myself going to a petty shop ,buying a token and using the internet.Would love to know your counter.
But for input like comments and posts, what patterns need to be checked for and blacklisted.
I like the idea but i think you can do better with a different revenue model. I think you should go for a yearly subscription model. That way users can pay a very small amount yearly and if you hang in there for very long, you will be in benefit .If you shut down early , users wont be pissed off.
Re:Show HN: An interactive buffer overflow tutorial on Friday March 10, 2017 @09:35AM (#13838843)
Very cool man. I did not take the complete tutorial, but i love the concept. I think it helps very much to fill the gap in our thinking through.
The link shared does not work. Comment section was helpful though. Thank you.
So we can showcase any product on the site? or is there any criteria?
This is very good. Thank you.
But i am guessing product hunt does not showcase all products. There is a whole selection process.
Re:Why I don't believe in Uber's Success on Friday January 20, 2017 @01:15AM (#13442004)
Sometimes due to heavy rains or unfavourable weather , getting a uber or even a normal cab becomes really difficult. I am from India ( so it happens here) . Facing that kind of situation may deter from people giving up owning a car.
