How do I easily tell people about my new startup?

I have a new startup and I'm struggling to communicate WHAT I'm doing and WHY I'm doing it. Any suggestions of listing sites, or other good methods? I don't want to set up a website, it's too much effort at this point, and a Facebook page is too vag… See more

Carrd

Simple, responsive, one-page sites for pretty much anything.

I know you said you don't want to setup a site. But... Carrd makes it really easy. If you're having trouble communicating what it is - Are you solving the right problem? Are you building something people want? Try talking to potential users and see if it makes sense to them. Try presenting it in a few different ways to see if you can get it to click.

I know you said you don't want to setup a website - does that include setting up a blog? Otherwise, that's probably the best way to make people aware of your website! And Medium is a great tool for that.

It'll give them more of an idea of what purpose you want to serve in your field and what you hope to achieve. I work with Recruitee, but they are really awesome people, so you can reach out to them any time fo… See more

One way to start the process is to start building a strong online presence for your startup and make sure you are listed on all the places where people will look for you. This will also help with generating links back to your service as well. You can add your startup to myPresences and it will then find everywhere your startup has a presence online and will also suggest other places to list your startup and help you with the process of getting listed there. All the best.
