Business Marketing with Nika

So far, I haven't used any paid ads to have more visibility and do everything organically – especially building communities and content creation/social media management.
I sell placement in my content: newsletter and YouTube videos and I got most of my sales through the community on Twitter, Discord and Product Hunt.

@nikkielizdemere and when it comes to your personal brand, e. g. – or your services – what worked best for you?

Depends on the business!
For dropshipping (bijouher.com), paid Facebook ads brought us to 6 figures.
For picassopix.com (AI image toolkit), we leveraged SEO heavily - tedious for backlinks and blogs, but paid off.
Have you tried cold emailing? Apollo.io is powerful for targeted, personalized emails on autopilot. Another method, though less ethical, is blasting cold emails through mailmeteor.com - cheap and effective if you've got an email list.

@simonas_kauzonas are those businesses your or clients'? When it comes to cold emailing – haven't tried yet but it is on my list. Not at this stage :)
Speaking of personal branding, word of mouth usually worked better than other channels and it was also surprising to see those unexpected recommendations from previous coworkers or clients.
The second channel was SEO but I didn’t follow a real strategy because I was too lazy and treated my personal brand as a side hustle regarding to my full-time job. So I just wrote 3 articles on Medium (it was 2019-2020) that were focused on a specific narrow topic related to my field and some people came from Google.
Does word of mouth work for you?

@tanyavrpv Tatiana, which product was promoted in your case like WOM? I think it can work but at the beginning it is very difficult to find someone who would be able to spread the word (beginnings are the most difficult generally and when it comes to WOM, even harder).
@busmark_w_nika it was my personal brand as a freelance (short-term projects). Generally, you are right, it's hard to roll out this channel from beginning.But actually, companies may try to implement referral or loyalty program to use it as a fuel for WOM strategy.

We have had the most success through Instagram, YouTube, TikTok, and then SEO. But as always, this is totally dependent on the product. For other products, our mix is completely different.

For my previous business chatnode .ai it was in this order:
1) directories and launch pad like PH for initial push (with facebook group)
2) newsletters
3) paids ads (google)
4) cold email with cool intro AI video
