Just being everywhere and promoting my AI product (evoke-app.com) any chance I get.
It's annoyed a few people, but it's also resulted in a lot of traffic

@richard_gao2 Did it also result in sign-ups/sales?
Micro influencers 🤟
We had beta and were looking for feedback. For that we gave users one-year free subscription to the tool when it would be launched. I asked influencers to publish that information and a lot of them said yes. So we had good offer for users and influencers.
Publication value for influencer is to say about new tool and give offer for the followers. Useful content
Publication value for user is to try new tool, give feedback and get a bonus - one year free
@ksusha_golovchenko Ksusha, which platforms you used to find relevant micr-influencers?
@tornike_phkhovelishvili I do it by my hands :) our influencers are in Ld and Tw, so I find them by hachtags or in groups, replies, in search
@tornike_phkhovelishvili @ksusha_golovchenko Any other tips for finding micro's? Not many even get back to our emails, and the ones who do often don't have good engagement, or aren't the most relevant. Thanks!
@ksusha_golovchenko @fam_socialfinance Not sure. I am just now starting with Newsletter marketing. Using Swapstack to find a potential newsletters to advertise in.
@tornike_phkhovelishvili @fam_socialfinance
1/ I prefer not to text to email, always text in Tw. If they don't answer - in a week I send "Waiting for the answer" :)
2/ To text a big amount of influencers. So I texted about 300 people and got about 40 publications.
3/ Not all publication got good engagement, but it all was made for free.
4/ But few publication got really big engagement, we even didnt expect that. Maybe 7 publications got really big outreach
Launch your product on every platform out there.
Like Product hunt, there are dozens of websites, communities, and directories where you can launch and promote your startup.
Listing our startup on all those platforms helps us to get initial traffic and users.
@karthik_tatikonda Which others do you prefer after Product Hunt?
@fam_socialfinance I made a list of 50+ places where you can submit your startup and get traffic.

There is no shortcut to that, unfortunately. It is a thing of lots of trial and error until you get to the most effective method. I am still figuring it out as well.
In general, this is the resource that served as list of ideas on how I can grow - https://knowledgehunt.co/resourc...
@tornike_phkhovelishvili do you have any idea about how app should find test users?
@mayverse I would assume that the easiest way is to hire virtual assistants through Upwork, pay around $3-5/hour, and let them test it. If you have a budget of around 300-400$, you can test it pretty effectively. Make sure to implement a good feedback loop so that you don't lose the information you will get from them. The other option is to individually outreach to people on platforms like PH, IndieHackers, and Twitter (but the response rate, in this case, could br very very low).
Here is The Mobile App Growth Report that may also give you some more insights - https://knowledgehunt.co/resourc...
@tornike_phkhovelishvili thanks for your reply and i would like to do it. We have built this product for over three years and now its time for us to find the market needs. Meanwhile, we plan to launch it soon. Pls keep close and help us to see wether it works or not.
What a great discussion :)
