Let me start first: - Posting on a niche community forum (without an explicit mention of my product). People just clicked on my profile, checked my bio/product and signed up. So I've basically used curiosity, under-estimating the effort people would take to get curious and check out my profile. What about you?

SMS services such as Community.com, the ease of signing up for users and the OR and CTR rates are incredible. Specifically good for a short form newsletter of sorts.

Posting on HN. In January, 1 link got 1600+ upvotes, generating 55k visits, this month, another link got 800+ upvotes and lead to 35k visits. It's like a lottery, but when it works, it works massively.
