Do you have experience to share about customer acquisition for new products?

Same question here. Would love to hear what channels others have had success with for their first customers. I've seen some folks use LinkedIn to do direct outreach and cold emailing to target users in their niche. Curious if anyone has tried sponsoring relevant newsletters or podcasts to get in front of their target audience early on. Let me know what's worked for you!

Launching soon!
Reddit (find relevant subreddits), Twitter/X, indie hacker communities, and most importantly - direct outreach to your target users.

Try launching on Reddit communities, Indie Hackers, or LinkedIn groups; these platforms have engaged early adopters.

As @byalexai already mentioned, AI Directories are a really good way to get first customers onboarded. I just opened up a discussion to create a nice overview of AI Directories. Feel free to share your favourites: https://www.producthunt.com/disc...
