So, I was super excited when my blog post “Top 10 Tips To Get Your Startup Noticed” over on marketingstarups.com started to pick up steam. I got a lot of great feedback and comments, and even had to change my bandwith limit three times.
In the post, one of my tips was to submit your site to relevant resources. I listed a bunch of the top tech blogs, and at the end I added a shameless plug for my own blogs, saying:
“Hey, it’s easy. Just contact me (nathan.burke@gmail.com), let me know what you do, and if your site or service is relevant, I’ll review it here.”
Well, a lot of people did just that, or added comments to the post. A lot.
And now I feel like a jerk because I haven’t had time to get to them. I asked, they answered, and I haven’t been able to do my part just yet. Though I will absolutely keep my end of the deal, I thought I’d at least give 15 of them a mention and a blurb today. So, check out the following, and let me know what you think of them. Vote for your favorites, and I’ll come up with some kind of stupid, cheap prize. I’ll be doing individual posts on these startups in the very near future, so think of this as a little preview of what’s to come. Here goes.
