Good post. How did you promote on Dribbble and Forsst? And what was the cost/subscriber?

I have over 1000 followers on Dribbble, and people there are typically supportive of others launching things, so that helped too.

On Forrst, I used the promoted post option ($40 for 2000 impressions), but it didn't seem to matter much, because it started generating referrals after the promotion expired. And generally speaking what you want on Forrst is for your post to be upvoted by Kyle (the founder), because everyone is following him by default and his upvote makes your post show up in pretty much everyone's feed.

I had the same experience with SU. Never again.

Indeed, I've had similar poor results from SU's paid discovery.

On the other hand, I've had great traffic from SU's organic stumbles. Too bad I can't really control those.
