Show HN: Case Study: Attracting My First 1000 Subscribers - Thoughts?

#1
Hi guys, I recently wrote up this article examining how I used inbound and email marketing to attract 1000 subscribers for a product I am building.

Thought the people here may be interested in the case study.

I would love to hear your thoughts.

Looks like I don't know how to link properly here :P

You're fine. When you type out a submission as you've done, none of the links are clickable by design. It's conventional for someone to comment with the link as comment links are clickable.

You could have also just submitted the URL alone which would be clickable, but then you wouldn't be able to write your message and your post wouldn't show up on the Ask tab, which is where you want it.
