Always love people who go beyond the traditional route to find a job.

I agree with you Felix. BD is normally associated with partnerships and sales which is why I decided to use Full Stack Hustler to cover a wider range of skills.

Thanks for the kind words haha. The post was more to serve as a quick summary of what non technical founders should do :)

selling and marketing plus understand technology is what makes a good combination. cannot leave either of three out.

Yes its a very tricky place to be in. Building a business on a single platform is so dangerous these days. I had a friend who tried to build on facebook platform and had to shut down because of their rules and threats.

It certainly doesn't hurt. Any new venues to be noticed is one step forward. Only thing is not many people might know that this is happening so its hard to know how many people are going to be noticed. I believe that people should be building relationships on twitter anyways and then leveraging them for jobs.

Hackernews has "business-y" folks who might be active. You want people who can show that they've done marketing or hustled in things before. They probably have a blog which would give you an idea of what they are about. They should be on twitter engaging and basically have a good online presence because thats important to spread the word for any business.

Are you guys blogging? Start writing posts about what the celebrity is wearing and maybe talk about the dress and the call to action at the bottom can be to go to buy the dress.

i agree with domenic_s. you can replicate the model for your teams which might be as large as a company. honestly i shared what worked for me. even if this benefits one person, i will be happy.
