Ask HN: How do I promote my teaser page?

[crafterbob]

I am working on a site that showcases works of mobile app developers (plug: tinkerwave.com). Currently I have a teaser page up, but I am wondering how I should promote it.

I have read some HN threads on promoting a functional site. What about a teaser page that only collects emails? I am a bit concerned about coming off as spammy.

Any advise is appreciated. :)

Put content on it which is interesting to your intended audience. Promote content. P.S. mail to mailing list, too.

Yeah, you don't want to make it look like spam! Put some 'teasers' on the page like you said. How else do you plan to tease it if your not really teasing? If you don't want to give away your idea, try to be as vague as possible with the content on the site.

How about making a survey to see if you can see if users are interested in your product/service and the same time your offering some idea of what your product is (or so they think). This is a great way to kill two birds with one stone.

Tip: Change up the survey every so often to see if you're still consistently getting similar responses.

Thanks for the tip, sounds like a good idea, I'm on it.
