#43https://github.com/mmccaff/PlacesToPostYourStartup They've put together a very comprehensive list of places to post your startup, and some will certainly be relevant to just side projects etc. Depending on what you're looking to showcase. This will certainly be one source I'll look to, for what I launch my side project.
Super. Upvote for you.

I've had some great luck promoting http://oppsdaily.com with some of the subreddits mentioned. In addition, http://reddit.com/r/financialindependence does a weekly self-promotion thread which has been a nice little bump in traffic. https://www.reddit.com/r/financialindependence/comments/5y7b...
That's a good idea, subscribed!
I'll give it a chance as-is but I wonder if weekly emails would be a nice option for some people.

#45I've recently made a StartupFeedback subreddit. It's still very small, but I think you might find it useful.

The programming discussions are really sad there.
Can you explain? I've found it more focused on systems and security than HN, but it seems like a generally smart and capable crowd.
There was a discussion on the frontpage which can basically be summarized to "fuck classes, prototypes ftw!". It's like people haven't worked on big projects ever.

How do we get opportunities to post on Opps Daily? Is there a form to fill out somewhere?

Hey Chis!
We now have a weekly option! In one of our e-mails click "update my preferences" and then check "weekly".

Any tips on starting a newsletter? Or resources on landing pages, the newsletter design or mailing platform? Or anything you wished you knew before you started? :)
Wow, this would be a huge comment if I tried to tackle each of these topics! Also, it's only been about 2 months since I officially started e-mailing so take what I say with a grain of salt :)
I will say that It's been a valuable exercise to e-mail every unsubscriber and ask why they left.
The number one reason people leave is because they don't want to get an e-mail every day. We now offer a weekly recap email because of this feedback, and I've actually had people return to the list who had previously left.
Sending an e-mail to someone is a privilege. Especially a daily e-mail. In my opinion our time/attention is one of the most precious things we have.
I want the reader to be able to read and comprehend the opportunity in under 30 seconds and leave feeling like the e-mail had a positive impact on their day.
If you're looking for any advice in specific, get in touch, I'm always happy to help :)
