#1 DMing potential users

This is one of the most underrated and most rewarding strategies above all others.

Here is how @ashandilya64 Reached to me to share his product access.

I also approached many potential users like this and it worked for me and many others like me.
#2 Launching in communities (as well as engaging)

This process will need more effort but that will help you to target a large number of users

There are many communities that allow you to:
🔲 Soft launch
🔲 Showcase your product
🔲 Get feedback.
Here are some of the great communities you can join and engage with is the @productschool community

#3 SEO (Side products)

This is not the traditional SEO tactics but this will help you with:

🔲 Organic traffic to your main product
🔲 It can turn into a new business as well
🔲 Can get you recognition from the potential users
In this strategy, you will be building small infographics products or products that can solve your potential user's pain.

#4 Building In Public

It is not important to build in public but it has few benefits like:

🔲 Create a brand with a trustworthy voice
🔲 Get validation early and increase your chance of success
🔲 Establish strong moats
🔲 Have accountability for your best work
These are some of the benefits that @meetkevon highlighted

This is the best way to develop consistency and communication skills for me and many of my friends

It will benefit your current project but it also benefits every project you work on for the rest of your career.
Small Recap:
🔹 DMing users
