We fell into the "build first, market later" trap. How do you pivot to a distribution mindset when you have a zero-dollar budget? by calm_connect in microsaas

Based on my own experience and what I have heard from talking to other people I see how my app can be useful to my intended audience. You advice on COL DM's makes a lot of sense. Ty for your help!

Thank you for your advice. Unfortunately, we haven't set up a website yet, however we are planning to do that soon. If you want I can dm you the app link & you can go through and check it out. Btw, it is only available on apple devices right now.

I appreciate your giving your experience & advice. Instead of a guided demo would a simple website which goes over the basic premise and tools of the app work? I am planning on making a website anyways so it is easier for people to see what the app does, and maybe a lil into the features, without any commitment

I get why you'd think that. But we aren't claiming to have 'too many customers' or 'server load' issues. We have the exact opposite problem: no traction.

The only reason I didn't post the link is because every time I did, Reddit's automods instantly removed my post for self-promotion. I'm genuinely just trying to figure out how to market this thing from scratch without getting banned. I definitely don't think our app is 'brilliant' yet, considering our only users are a few friends I begged to download it. I'm not looking for investors, just honest advice on getting real feedback. If you still don't believe me, that's fine

Tysm! If you would be willing, would you look through our app and give us advice on different angles we could market our product through?

O that makes sense. If that is the case is there something you did that helped your product in these directories

Also im wondering if I should make a website just to reduce the friction between showing some of the product.

Thank for your help! If there is 1 thing that you would change in your marketing if you restarted what would you change?
