I would love to hear about your fav tools, extensions, or frameworks π
I have developed my own checklist on how to select and find suitable channels and share it with you below, which is applicable to any product. I may have overlooked existing tools or approaches that can expedite this process.
π’ Check the solid presence of your competitors (backlinks) using SEO tools like Semrush and Ahrefs.
π΅ Set up Mention to monitor your competitors, check for new mentions, and identify sources with better results.
π Explore communities such as #Reddit, #Slack, and others where your target audience exists. They often mention what they read permanently, using product-related keywords.
π΄ Join Google communities and explore the "resources" channel.
π£ Pay attention to opinion leaders in your industry as they occasionally mention valuable sources.
π‘ Engage with your audience across the listed channels to gather feedback.
Ask your early adopters through website live chat and HotJar surveys during app onboarding.
βͺοΈ Utilize opinion leaders' newsletters for partnerships and repurpose content on social media platforms, your product website, newsletters, or onboarding letters. Consider creating a YouTube channel as well.
π Think like your audience and subscribe to nano and micro-influencers within your target audience. Building relationships with them can bring you new ideas faster than expected.
Feel free to share yours, as I am always interested in discovering new ones π
