No AI. Just manual DMs to 10-15 people to kick of a LI post. Then if the content is good. 10k eyeballs -> 100 ish users

@sentry_co that's interesting, so you just DM them and say "hey, I posted this"?

@sentry_co I've decided to take the manual route too. I've been reaching out to my local community through social media, a lot of the businesses I'm targeting are on FB so I've joined many of the local groups. I started posting today and I've already recieved responses within the first few hours. I recognize most people don't read email as much as they used to so I'm adjusting my approach. I do think building an AI agent to do some of this for me will be helpful and I can also offer it to my future clients too.

Launching soon!
We used our @Pitch Avatar platform to create personalized video presentations/messages with AI avatars were customized for the target audience. The videos were sent out in email or embedded on landing pages, which boosted engagement and CTR.

For me Make.com and HeyReach.io and apollo.io is a great combination for cold outreach.

@david_sipos Automation + Linkedin = yolo 😅. Top banner on heyreach RN: "t seems LinkedIn is currently experiencing issues. You might experience issues like your account being disconnected. It’s not a HeyReach issue, but we’re monitoring the situation closely. Please go ahead and try to connect your LinkedIn accounts back to HeyReach. For any trouble you experience, please contact our support by accessing the LiveChat widget below." 🥵

Predicting user behavior with AI was super insightful for me. It showed which features mattered most, so I focused on those and grew fast.

I'm using AI to scrape relevant online communities and forums to find people genuinely interested in my product area, then reaching out with personalized cold messages. Tools like PhantomBuster make the scraping part easy. The key is highly targeted outreach to get those first evangelists. Quality over quantity!

@david_sipos We just wrapped up our internal testing with our initial users, who were mostly friends and previous users of the product. I have to say, we just gained over 200 more registered users after launching on PH. @Product Hunt Huge thanks to everyone at PH for the support!

Manually reached out to potential users on social media and forums to get initial traction. Once I had some good content, organic growth from a LinkedIn post drove a bunch of traffic that converted around 100 users. AI is great for a lot of things but sometimes there's no substitute for a personal touch early on!

great question, my years in business have always excluded AI Tools so implementing certain hacks or tools i don't have anything proven but, i have created organic content and went viral multiple time , i even started a non profit in a pandemic , we eventually raised over $4 million dollars in 4 years with social media being a strong contributing factor. so im 100% in on social media content creation for growth and i built an app that helps entreprenuers create social media strategies easily. so i pray in the next year or so i can say our app is a tool thats getting people 100's of users.
