Question
The startup will be in travel technology space. Need to come up with a plan on how to get initial subscribers (its a paid service). I am talking about 5-10k per month.
Would like to know what else can we do aside from the usual advice of blogging, SEO, PPC, Ads and mass email.
Answer
Do you have more time or money?
The "usual advice" is usual advice because it works and is considered best practice.
Your growth goal is quite aggressive, especially when starting from nothing AND a paid service.
How will you differentiate yourself and what value do you offer 5-10k subscribers per month that they cannot get elsewhere for free?
