Depends on the audience, the not-so-technical marketing term for the concept is a "watering hole".
First step is guessing who your customers might be.
- ericd 7mo agoYep, makes sense, have any good illustrative examples? Thanks for the term, though, makes it more googleable.
- gomox 7mo agoTell me who you think your customers might be? Or ask ChatGPT what's a good watering hole for them, it will definitely come up with some reasonable guesses.
- ericd 7mo agoWas largely asking for all the people looking for specifics, since people were asking, and vague advice isn't very helpful when first starting out with this stuff. Like broadly, I've had luck with Linkedin messages for b2b and SEO for consumer, but mostly after the product is in an ok place. The initial users can be tough to find. But sure, I'm working on things for parents/students, home buyers, and DIY heat pump installers.
- gomox 7mo agoOff the top of my head (don't expect any revelations here, but mostly for people wondering how to approach this type of thing for the first time): * Parents/students hang out at schools and are probably a good referral/recommendation crowd * Home buyers are looking for mortgage comparisons on Google (but that's probably a terrible strategy, since this is a highly lucrative segment to market to, so you should expect high customer acquisition costs) * DIY heat pump installers will probably look at ads on /r/DIYHeatPumps
