I wanted a way to demonstrate my product's functionality with a simple service that could gain attention quickly — a type of content marketing.For context, my company (Vay) collects open data and aggregates it a simple way. How could I use my product to provide a simple attention grabbing service? I thought of things that are currently buzzing.The media is obsessed with the Coronavirus, and Vay collects Coronavirus data. Perfect. I created a website in in a couple hours that that will send you an email when the virus reaches your home town.CoronaNotify.com was born. I posted it on HackerNews and Reddit, only expecting a few signups over the next couple weeks. However, the site made it onto the first page of HackerNews withen a 15 minuets, and the next thing I knew my Google Analytics realtime users number kept climbing.Moral of the story is create simple quality service that benefits people — you never know, it could gain attention.​ via /r/Entrepreneur https://ift.tt/3aD9076
