Create a great product that perfectly solves someone's problems. There's no substitute for creating a great solution. Then, personally, there's the tried and true places to show your work: 1) Show HN 2) ProductHunt 3) Your own social media 4) Relevant subreddits Note: This is primarily effective for showing free / open products. Think of it more as a way of getting feedback than closing sales. Then, I can think of a few ways that could work to let people know your product exists (generic ideas that don't necessarily fit every product): 1) Attend conferences relevant to the problem or where your customers frequent 2) Attend meet ups relevant to the problem 3) Get referrals from friends and your network to potential customers (ask, do you know someone who works in ____?) 4) Cold emails -- and follow up with them even if there's no response. Often it takes 7 touches to get an answer (yes or no) and persistence works. Check out my friends at http://www.persistiq.com http://www.persistiq.com. Note: Easier than it sounds. Marketing and selling are hard.
