Launched a simple web game site, got 0 users - any advice on growing it?

Hey HN,

I've recently launched a small web game site: freewebgamer.com, and I'm looking for advice on how to grow it.

The backstory: I heard that building a game site could generate some revenue, and since I'm a fan of web games, I thought I'd give it a try. I spent a decent amount of time learning how to set up the site, find game resources, and optimize the pages. It was quite a rewarding experience seeing the site come to life.

However, after launching, I ran into a pretty significant issue: zero traffic. Not a single user. I'm feeling a bit stuck, but I know I have a lot to learn, especially as a beginner.

So, I'm here to ask for help: how can I attract users to a small game site like mine? Should I focus on SEO, social media promotion, or something else entirely? Are there better ways to validate that the games I provide are what users want?

I'd love to hear any experiences, tips, or advice that could help me get my first few users and start building momentum. Any feedback on the site itself is also more than welcome.

Thanks a lot for your time and any guidance you can offer!

Show HN: Calling All Pokémon Trainers

Hacker News - Fri, 11/08/2024 - 2:26am

Calling All Pokémon Trainers! I'm thrilled to share ePool.net with you—a platform built to make managing your Pokémon card collection easy and safe, while connecting you with local collectors for trading! Watch the walkthrough video here to see it in action: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0UF6sig8clQ

After my daughter started collecting, I realized how hard it was to find reliable traders and track card values. We faced challenges with duplicate cards and even ran into some less-than-honest trades. That's why I created ePool—to provide a safe, organized space where collectors of all ages can manage their collections and find local trading partners with ease.

Join ePool Free (up to 500 cards) and start exploring the features at www.epool.net. With more users, we can build an amazing community of trustworthy collectors!

Support Our Product Hunt Launch On November 8th, 2024 at 12:01 AM PST, ePool goes live on Product Hunt! Your upvotes would mean the world and will help us reach even more collectors. Visit: https://www.producthunt.com/posts/epool-net

Be a Top Dogg in the Community! Want to go the extra mile? Share ePool with your friends or make a video about your experience! Together, we can create a go-to place for every Pokémon card fan.

May You Catch ‘Em All!

Thank you for being part of this journey! — Stefan
