5 Out-of-the-Box Acquisition Ideas for Solopreneurs
1. Partner with a micro-influencer with <1000 followers
They have an engaged audience that is not tired of ads. Perfect conditions for your low-budget marketing campaign.
2. Partner with a complementary business
For example, if you sell a testimonial tool, partner with a no-code website builder. Let people get two subscriptions with a juicy discount.
3. Buy Google Ads on your competitor's brand name
Very likely, they haven't set up brand ads. You can "steal" a few customers without any hassle.
4. Sell your product for $1 for 24 hours
It won't get you a lot of revenue. But it will generate a massive email list that you can upsell later.
5. Launch an AI-assisted side project
ChatGPT Hype is real. You can still jump on the train with a free product to promote your main offer organically.

Hi @chameli_kuduva
I think I'd choose only #2 and #5. The side project doesn't need to be an AI product, any good side project will draw traffic. Math doesn't work on #1.
@basv great ideas there. Could you elaborate a bit more on #3?
What exactly do you mean by "Buy Google Ads on your competitor's brand name"?
@pranabgohain you can buy ads on competitors name, so that google search shows your product as an ad on the top
Great ideas! Did you use any of these to grow MakerBox or SponsorThisNewsletter?
I think creating a private beta list is also a very good way to create FOMO, also maintaining good relationships with clients that are willing to share constructive feedback is essential as those feedbacks are core substance of how you improve your product overtime.
Great suggestions Sveta, I'm working on nameai.co and aifitnessplanner.com, do you have any particular ideas on how to monetise them ?
