I have no idea what hustle tips could be, and therefore have no reason to give you my email. You should let me know what you are going to be providing - perhaps a couple example tips?

Sure thing. By hustle tips, it could be either business/startup or lifehacks. Eg. I can share how to cold email someone or how to guess anyone's email.

Here's a tip on how to hustle: Show me a sample, so I know i won't be spending time on spam when I could be doing something productive. I need to feel like you got some skin in this game...

You should definitely put some examples up there. I've signed up to see what it is, but I suspect most of the people won't as it's just a text box to enter your email on some random page on the internet.

Also maybe consider sending todays tip or whatever (I still don't know what this is about) when you sign up, so the user gets instant something and is not surprised the next day when he already forgot subscribing to something ...

Counterpoint: I have some vague idea what hustle tips could be and you have me intrigued and therefore, I will provide you my email.

smit8• 14 years ago

Thanks :) My goal is to just help as many people as I can. Learnings are better when they are shared.

I'm not giving my email away to something this ambiguous. Provide a sample... please!

smit8• 14 years ago

Allright I'll give a simple tip for today.

If you want to get lunch with someone in your company or are cold emailing them, tell them you want to hear their story. This way it touches their ego that someone actually thinks they are a big deal and wants to know more about them. It gives you a higher chance of them saying yes compared to just saying you want to get lunch with them. This applies especially if don't have any context to talk to them to start with.

Now this is just a sample tip. I will be getting tips from several folks who've done it before. Its not just going to be authored by me.

The aim of the newsletter is to empower people and give them a hustler state of mind.

Sample hustle tip #1: how to harvest email addresses with a 5 minute website and a cheap domain name!

razfar• 14 years ago

hahaha..this made me laugh. Hahahaha

smit8• 14 years ago

@eoity the aim was never to harvest email addresses :) I'm doing this to spread things I learn everyday and what others have learnt.

martinrd• 14 years ago

These tips should be great, thanks!

But if this is just to spread knowledge, why not just doing the spreading through twitter, tumblr or a blog? :)

te_chris• 14 years ago

Why not just start a blog then?

microtherion• 14 years ago

The first hustle tip is probably that you can get a lot of people to provide their e-mail addresses in exchange for vague promises :-)

smit8• 14 years ago

I'm taking feedback from the hn folks live as it comes. I changed the landing page copy so its not vague anymore.

spindritf• 14 years ago

How 'bout RSS maybe then...?

Cieplak• 14 years ago

I get the sense that someone is trying to hustle me.

mythealias• 14 years ago

having access to older hustle tips will be useful.

smit8• 14 years ago

Can you please elaborate more as I can take your feedback in account to improve the newsletter.

I'm sorry you feel that way but there's nothing wrong about me wanting to share my learnings and others' learnings with the world via email.
