Was it?
– Paid ads,
– WOM,
– Cold outreaching…
– Or anything else?
I know it strongly depends on the product, so could you please tell me:
What kind of product do you have and what worked best for you?

For my experience with digital products, here's the order that worked best:
1. Word of Mouth – Customers who had a great experience referred others, which brought in the most paying customers.
2. Content Marketing – Sharing valuable content that positioned the product as a solution to specific problems helped build trust.
3. Cold Outreach – Direct outreach worked, but had a lower conversion rate.
4. Paid Ads – Effective but often costly compared to organic methods.
Each method depends on the product and audience, but WOM is generally the strongest driver 🦾

In the past, with an venture capital backed project, that was a SaaS to manage collaboratively ads optimized with AI, it was clearly ads in Fb, Ig and AdWords as the better choice, followed of SEO for long term as a inbound marketing strategy, with a sales team.
Currently, in a bootstrap mode without investment, we use social (𝕏 mainly), communities like PH, SEO and now we will start with referrals/affiliates.

@winston_appsallset Good that your product spreads itself. Why do you think it is so?
@busmark_w_nika It's important to ensure your product truly fits the market and that you're actively listening to feedback. If it’s not the right fit, consider making quick adjustments.
