#12HN for Sale? Ok, this is not the case. How can one estimate the worth of this community? 10$ per user?
Well,given than there is quite a few influencial people hanging around here,the kind of people you can only meet here frankly,i'd multiply that price tag by at least 10.

Depends, We could all be worth from 44 dollars to 217.[1][2]
I mean, at least we are worth a good 40.

I prefer to base all my valuations on the sale of broadcast.com, which puts us at a bit over $10k per user.

#15I think sales is a skill that mystifies plenty of HN'ers, and engineers in general. Learning to become a better salesperson is the best "growth hack" for your company. You'll need it for users/customers, journalists, potential hires and investors. Many of the tips/tricks are useful across those disciplines. Look forward to seeing what happens here.

#16I'm all for niche HN clones, but looking at the articles on the homepage.. yowza. Are they simply poor selections or are they truly top-notch articles?
Feel free to share something you think is worthy.

Growthhackers.com, inbound.org and producthunt are the biggest I know of. The key is cultivating a community within them.
