Ask HN: Need help with promoting a startup...

by obaid on 9/9/13, 2:51 PM with 2 comments

We recently launched a crowdfunding platform aimed at Muslim community. We chose this niche for various reasons..

We are now looking for some advice on how to get the word out to organizations & individuals -- who can post their campaign on our platform.

We are bootstrapped company so resources are low but we are willing to put in the effort (and money) for the right campaign.

Any advice from the HN community would be great. You can check us out at www.ummahhub.com -- we are currently working with two active campaigns and are in talks with 5 other organizations to bring their fundraising campaigns to UmmahHub.

    Organizations - cold emails, phone calls and meetings.

    Individuals - cold emails and facebook marketing. Even something as little as $100 a week could get you many many eye balls.

    There is a Islamic leadership centers in most cities. You should send them mail or call them up.
