2. My personal tip #1 here: ask for referrals. Once you get yourself a paying customer or 2, ask them if they know anyone else who might find it useful.
Tip #2: Figure out what they do. Pinpoint their identity, and figure out where they hang out. Go there and talk to the rest.

4. Sometimes making more money is just about tweaking your pricing. Have 1 price tier? Add 2 more. @Stock_Alarm had awesome success with this. Yahia (the founder) shared his story, worth a read: https://www.indiehackers.com/post/always-always-always-add-pricing-tiers-ce5949f5cd
4a: Pricing tip: Put your most expensive plans on the left. People scan left to right and will anchor their expectations to the first tier they see. Unbounce is a master at this: Preferred plan in the center.
4b. Personal tip on pricing: Frame your price around the VALUE it provides, NOT THE UTILITY. Try framing price in terms of: Time saved, Money saved, Nightmares avoided. Example from @DataMaskExt

6. Tired of writing? No problem. Build growth tools instead! @DruRly shares opportunities and insights on how you can take advantage of lead generation by building tools. Here is one example he gave from Shopify:
Side project marketing is awesome if it's easy to execute.

7. Less work, more publishing: Use a tool like @descript to auto transcribe all of your videos. You can get the audio, transcript and captions all in one place. You just made a blog post, a video and a podcast episode all at once. Bonus: Share gold nuggets from video.
8. You can use a tool like @wavve to generate sharable audio content from your clipped audio you got from Descript: Wavve even auto-transcribes your videos for you!
9. I think Video is a huge missed as a means of marketing your startup (especially if you are running a solo operation). Add a human touch by being yourself (just a bit more professionally edited than mine
