Outsourcing a sales process is never a good idea. Build it yourself first and then outsource the method

Invest in relationships online.
Don't just think of every conversation as a transaction. Genuinely help others and be a part of their journey.
They'll remember you and that bond goes a long way.
understand your audience deeply
Don't think about your launch on a linear way. Keep throwing things on social media, it'll be empty first but you'll get traction earlier. Remember you don't fail, you learn.

You don't have to always create your own! Curating and sharing others content is a great way to connect with your audience, partner with others, and save some time from creating content from scratch! (Always credit others and link back!)
Growth Hackers Guide To Producthunt
When you aren't creating for a specified audience, you are creating for yourself.
It takes time to build a connection with any community if you are new on any platform except Tiktok and Instagram if you are hot.
To focus and be patient, especially in business.
The compounding effect will do its job, when its time.
Be consistently trying new things until something shows real signs of life.
Then double down on it 100 times because you can milk one good piece of content many times, and it helps you grow a lot. Just mix in a few other things in between so it's not the same msg after itself every single time.
Most people who grow quickly write the simplest things (that aren't new, exciting, nor interesting) 100 times. Long as your format is good, your reading level is not too high, and the language is positive, it's got a shot!
Good luck!
- Be your own cheerleader
- Show up every day (consistency)
- Focus on value and traction will come later

@leojbarnett It's October 24th, 2001. You're 19 and you don't know much but you know you love music. Your backpack is full of shattered CD cases and scratched CDs, most of them are even are in the wrong case. You're running across the intersection and the "Don't Walk" sign starts flashing red. Your CD walkman is skipping again during the chorus of your favorite song "Clint Eastwood" by Gorillaz. You see two store across the street with big signs in their windows. One says "The new Apple iPod" and the other says "1000 songs in your pocket".
You say to yourself "Wow 1000 songs in my pocket?" and you dash into the 2nd store. The salesman greets you at the door. "1000 songs" you say as you catch your breath. He hands you a small white box that says 'iPod" whatever that means. You pay and the counter and your whole life changes. You will always remember this day.
Lesson 1: Solve your customers problems
Lesson 2: Nobody cares about your product or company (sorry)
Lesson 3: People love stories with a positive character arc

consistent content creation, helps in 2 ways.
1.eventually increases your reach
2.improves your content over time.
Just don't give up.
Set milestones and work towards reaching them. Don't quit until you reach the last one.
Stop only if you are 100% you tried everything and failed.

1. Instead of writing content from templates, write about your experiences, your learnings and your failures. You will make new friends instead of dead followers.
2. Focus on community building. Community support is priceless.
Don’t take this the wrong way.
You bought the wrong domain, you went with your name, does many [millions of] people on Google know you, yes or NO?
I’ve never heard of you until today.
You spent too much time talking about yourself instead of what you offer, don’t worry most do this, it’s a learning curve.
Perhaps invest in a better domain, something with Developer or Mentor or Coach or Content or Creator within this will give you a huge boost on Google when writing on the page, increase the content by 15 percent.
A Domain name should be short, easily remembered, don’t go over 15 characters.
Have enough content - it is a ranking factor
Have enough internal links - it is a ranking factor
Keep the domain name short, less than 15 characters.
You’ve created the page and optimised it as a SEO professional has, so initially your "SEO will always be Slow".
Optimise your page NOT from a SEO professional point, - I’m not joking here, but think as a business owner would optimise your page and your "SEO will be a lot faster".
I found out that if you optimise your pages from the viewpoint of an 💎CEO business owner💎then Google will see the full picture rather than as [seo professional] a partial picture which Google doesn’t fully understand, so your seo will flatline sitting twiddling it thumbs waiting months for Google to fully understand your page.
20 years ago, I read up on SEO, I applied it based on what I read, and my seo flatlined.
When I closed my business down, but still loved how SEO works as my tuner, 5 years ago I delved more into onpageseo and found a way [white hat] that solves the "SEO is Slow".
This is my example:
I designed a page via a template that looked good to me, optimised the onpage SEO from a business owners point of view, did my technical SEO for pagespeed [it is a ranking factor] and ONLY NOW did I submit for indexing all in one [1] day.
Waited about 5-10 minutes the pages was indexed, so searched on Google for my fat based [2 word] keyword, nothing on page one, well I knew it wouldn’t sit there, checked page 2 nothing, checked page 3 and it sat there gracefully, so my way worked.
Anybody else reading think -> 💎CEO business owner💎 and you’ll pass, NOT 📉SEO professional📉 because you’ll fail, your seo will be slow as always.
The first two answers from Rohan & Navdeep here wrote "eventually", better is the "right away". So they are applying it based as an SEO professional would.
Good luck
make sure you are creating content consistently.. and quality over quantity.
Creating and making money out of your creation, are soooo far from each other, no matter the perceived value of the creation.
Don't overcrowd yourself with your ideas pick one or two and stick it out.

OKRs! It can be hard to stay focused on your goals unless you write them down. Be specific, and measurable, and stay consistent with checking in on them each quarter. It's helpful to stay on track, and also so nice to reflect back on the quarter to see all you've accomplished through your hard work.
