Hi everyone!
Not an specific question, just a general call for help! I have just launched a Japanese learning website this weekend and got to 15 users until today. I made the mistake of waiting too long to open a newsletter, but anyways while I work on the content I have been posting my site in reddit (subreddits for language learning) and quora answers to get people to know us. The product is functional, just missing some content which I am working on every day.
In the meantime, I am working on launching a Kickstarter campaign, everything is ready but not sure if I should go forward with it or not. The campaign would be to raise only around 2000€, and the money would be mostly used for paying someone to help me with content and launching some marketing campaign. Anyways, I think that a Kickstarter a campaign might help with exposure.
I'm a developer so the "known" part for me is over, now I get into unknown territory and I'm not sure how to proceed. Got my newsletter going too late and didn't get many sign ups before the release, so my total list of users + newsletter would be around only 20 people. Are there any recommendations you guys can give me, any blogs for language learning where I can post my site and so on? Really, today I felt like it was not going forward, and I would like some way of getting momentum, after few months of work it would be a great reward!
