What do YOU do to promote FastMail?
I assume everyone reading the posts in this forum regularly likes the service FastMail provides, and would recommend it to someone asking them for a good email service provider.
However.... what do you do (if anything) to promote the awareness of FastMail.FM among the people you meet in your everyday life? Do you...

Strangely enough I only managed to get 6 people to use it so far, 3 of which were kind enough to ask me my username so I could be their referer. --K |

I paint my body blue except for "Fastmail FM ROCKS!" painted down my back.
Then I run naked in the local shopping mall screaming. |

I talk about it with people, till they are sick of me.
I think a service like fastmail sort of speaks for itself. For people who are perpared to pay fastmail's member account and mailsnare's standard account are great value. I showed fastmail, runbox and mailsnare to a friend who is largely computer illiterate last week. She was pretty adamant at the time they didn't want to pay for their email. She approached me at church yesterday with a smile from ear to ear and said she had bought an account. I expected her to say a fastmail member account but she went for runbox. Jeff |

PS: Writing an email to your local tech journalist to tell them you're a keen user is a *great* idea - a few journalists have been introduced to us this way, and it works out really well; they love getting a lead on a new story, and of course we get some great publicity. Remember, helping FastMail.FM grow is good for you to - the majority of our costs are in software development, so the more people use our service and pay for it, the more we can spend on developing cool new features. Our infrastructure is highly scalable, so adding new users does not slow things down at all. |

I don't look at promoting Fastmail as a goal, but rather to promote the email experience of friends and family members. That's why I already have 8 thankful referrals in little over than a year

I blog it,
http://blog.fenghe.org/archives/1236 http://blog.fenghe.org/archives/1512 BTW, I expect FM migrates the credit to Pobox, b/c I don't want to open two billing accounts at the same provider. |

Reading about floppy disks in the second post, I had to clean my glasses - this thread is 13 years old.
