How to start a platform based product without having an initial audience
Hello everyone, I listen to many different founders and their stories on how they get started with their ideas and validated them through their existing audience. I have seen a common trait in all of them, they have an initial audience that believes in them and is their first customer. I have ideas that I want to work on which are more platform based like product hunt, and indie hackers, but I fear how can I get my first few users and validate the idea. I know making up an audience is also a part of the business, but right now I can't think I can leave everything and start creating an audience just because I want to launch something and want them to be my user. I believe creating an audience is a natural process and needs time. What advice would you give me in this position in order to get some validation on the idea and get some initial traction? Thank you

What is the right way to market the product without spamming to different platforms?
I working on my project for the past couple of months and today went live, however. During the development, I never engaged with communities that much, and thus it's hard for me to actually promote my project in front of people or social platforms. I posted about my project on Reddit and it did well, I received a lot of positive feedback, but now I want to promote it more in a right way What strategies can I use now that can help to grow the user base and gain more traction
