How to get upvoted on HackerNews

Hacker News regularly publishes a dataset to Kaggle. As I looked at my posts go dying quickly down the “new” section, I wondered what was the relationship between score and how long the story was remaining in the visible portion of the “new” section, raising the probability of upvote.

In this article I look at correlations between the score and different attributes of the story:

  • posting date/time, showing indeed a relationship between published story rate and score
  • type of story (Show HN, …)
  • efficiency of reposting
  • class of topic (clustering story from the title only with NLP)
  • in appsumo

How to launch on AppSumo

But before you buckle yourself into our digital catapult, you’ve gotta endure our careful selection process. We aren’t looking for just any software tool. We’ve got standards, thank you (and a highly-refined taste).

But we’re not snobs. In fact, we wrote this article (and this downloadable AppSumo Partnership Guide) to help more products find and submit their tools to us.

We’re always looking for new partners to launch to stardom. If you want to know if your tool has what it takes, this guide was written for you.

List Your Startup on AngelList

  • Create your Company Profile
  • You’ll need a personal profile first
  • Click on your picture in the top right, then click Create Company Profile
  • Fill out each field. Be to-the-point concise, but give a complete overview of your company.
  • Clearly state your fundraising goal. Be upfront about how much you want to raise in your current round of fundraising (if you are fundraising, it’s not necessary to fundraise to create a Company Profile on AngelList or to post a job).
  • Use all 4 markets. Those following the listed markets will be able to come across your startup easily. It is not wise to create a new market. If you create a new one, no investors will be following it, therefore no one will be able to find you.

This article explains what I did to do this, so you can achieve the same result. It is broken into 4 sections: * Update Your Website: What to do to update your web site to prepare to submit to BetaList * Develop Your Process: How to prepare for people asking for access to your product or service * Plan Your Announcements: How to plan a promotion strategy to get upvotes, comments & tweets * Do Your Followup: What to do after you’ve launched
