For me it is the following: - Adding 200 targeted connections to my Linkedin on a weekly basis. - Messaging them just to connect or to try out my product. - Make sure my profile links to my product. A boring one i know. But it works. I have addedd 3,000+ (targeted) followers to my account in 2.5 months. However, it is not scalable. AT ALL. What's yours?

Business Marketing with Nika
It is how deep and friendly your relationship with the audience is. From my experience, when we held calls and had more informal convo for several months, you feel to each other more like family so it is more genuine. :) For me social media and newsletter. Videos work well too. (More trust.)

@busmark_w_nika videos are indeed the best. Im trying to learn how to record more cinematic videos for product demoing etc !

@busmark_w_nika yes, and from shooting. Im doing a few tutorials on how to turn my Lumix G90 into a cinematic beast for low budget solopreneur product demos. Fun, but hard. Are you doing things like that? I assume you dug deeper into the video world with your Youtube stuff.

It all depends on the product. Social Media works. Cold Email works. SEO works. Product Hunt works. If you know what to do.

@byalexai yeah true. The only problems with all these is that it aint scalable right?

@cryptosymposium what do you mean? If you're consistent it's scalable. If you expect to post 1 time and to have a lot of users -yes it's not scalable. It's a daily task.

@byalexai yeah exactly. Well, ofc I never meant to post 1 time and to go viral :P That cannot happen. By "not scalable" i mean that, if I always have to do things on a daily basis, and it never goes viral, then it is not scalable. And if i dont do it one day, and numbers decrease, also not scalable. Im referring mostly to how manual or automatic this is. Dont get me wrong eh, that's what I do as well.

ProductHunt is actually one of the best channels for organic growth, just keep launching and building momentums. Founder social media channel is also important long term investment. And designing some growth hack features. And lastly friends & families - and word of mouth :)

@kissonlin agree. Im planning to launch a few products this year here to also build momentum and audience. Do you also discover new products to build from your audience here? if so how?
Kisson Lin
@cryptosymposium We identify trends here by looking at daily top ranked products. And we identify differentiation strategies by reading what people comment about similar products - what they like and dislike. This also needs to combine with appstore comments and reddit discussions ;)

One of our core features is quality summaries - so we have a bot that summarizes trending content, and posts it to a "summary library" and you can "save" the summary which takes you through a signup flow! That was worked really for us and is super scalable - https://www.getrecall.ai/summaries

I'm experiencing the same difficulty. Approaching people with a product may not be welcomed. We need to approach them more personally and consistently.

@kay_arkain agree ! is just a bit hard to do that, and definitely time consuming. But i agree, approaching people with things like " Upvote me, or try my app" should not be allowed by law :P

The problem with marketing strategy is, once it is well known it becomes expensive or less effective so it is important to continuously explore new ones and use it before it becomes well known.

@gamifykaran true. What is yours though?
Puja from Draftly.so
Great strategy, Tasos! I’ve been focusing on consistency, and tools like Draftly have really helped streamline my content creation process. The community there also shares some great tips on organic growth—definitely worth checking out if you're looking for more strategies. As for my strategy, I focus on engaging with relevant content, sharing value, and connecting with like-minded professionals. It’s not as fast, but it leads to deeper connections and more meaningful engagement over time.

@puja_duseja totally agree. The slow way is the long term way :)

Great strategy, @cryptosymposium. My approach is more gradual but effective. Over the past two years on LinkedIn, I’ve earned the 'Top Voice' badge for six months (they give Golden badges for specific periods). My strategy focuses on: Engaging thoughtfully with industry-related posts. Sharing valuable insights that align with my audience’s needs. Hosting interactive sessions like polls or Q&As. Collaborating with like-minded individuals for cross-promotions. It's all about providing value and building genuine connections. It takes time, but it leads to long-term engagement and trust.
