I faced the same problem myself — traffic was the main issue. Even if the product is great, it won’t matter unless people can actually find it. Another thing I realized: the intended user and the actual user can be very different. In my case, I built an app called foundersmail.xyz, which gives users access to founders' official emails and other details. I got the idea after seeing someone else build a similar tool for investors — it worked well for him, but he already had an audience and reputation. For me, I promoted it across various subreddits and platforms and got around 100 users. I noticed that only 20–30% actually used up their free credits. While debugging this, I discovered most of my users were students cold-emailing founders for summer internships. I thought at least one of them might convert — but unfortunately, none did (still trying to figure that part out). My two biggest mistakes: No traffic — not enough eyeballs. Target audience mismatch — students using it instead of founders or professionals. Interestingly, there are competitors making money with similar products, so I know there’s potential. I’m still figuring out what’s missing in my approach. That said, I’m okay with the outcome so far. I haven’t spent a single rupee — free domain, free hosting, and I built it in my spare time and vibe coded. It was an experiment rather than an actual business.
