Ask HN: Review My App - heyhub.com

Trying the bring the "dating website" experience to a local service provider directory. (it shows more once you're logged in). Simple, easy-to-use and personable.Currently its limited to just dogwalkers/pet services but eventually I would like to broaden the scope and support tutors, babysitters, photographers, artists, (see craiglist's services section). I'm also trying to create a deeper integration with facebook. Alot of these business work around a word-of-mouth network and I figure facebook is can be a natural extension of that. I think I'd be more inclined to use a dogwalker that I know my friends use.

On the business side, got a lot of ideas around a business model, the most obvious one to me seems like a paid subscription or lead generation. Still crunching spreadsheets on that one. Would like to get some real users and see what works first.

Also trying to come up with a sustainable traffic acquisition strategy. Link building? Any one have any ideas?It's challenging running a one man show doing design, code marketing, business analysis, marketing etc etc. Definitely a steep learning curve there which is probably why a lot of people recommend against it. Gonna soldier on for now.

So any tips on how I can do more with less? Any and all constructive criticism are welcome!

Thanks! pk
