Ask HN: How did you convert a million users to your service?

Did you do anything illegal or unethical? Advertising? Hacks?

Assuming there are HN/YC'ers with million+ users.

One user at a time.

I haven't built anything solo with 1 million users, but I'm one of the 600,000+ people who helped build this:

...and it was done one user at a time, over a decade, nothing unethical, not much advertising beyond word of mouth. Lots of hacks, though!
