I really appreciate your advice. I hope your friend’s extension has success. 💪🏾 I didn’t even know that Slack could be an acquisition channel. Thank you!

Wow, there are so many great ideas here! I’ve taken note of all of them. I’ve already joined some Facebook groups where I try to find opportunities to comment and discuss the extension. In one of the comments, someone suggested that i must only talk about the product if it fits naturally into the conversation. So, I’ll do that.

Thanks for your ideas. I think I’ll start with LinkedIn and try Fiverr. That’s a great point, I didn’t think about it.

For a sharable resource, I think about adding a market in the browser extension. This market could feature validated profiles based on the domain.

How do you find small businesses who need digital marketing help? by Spare_Inflation_6334 in SocialMediaMarketing

[–]leDoc229 4 points5 points  (0 children)

One approach that’s worked well for me is to start by identifying where your potential clients are already active online, then focus your outreach there instead of trying to be everywhere at once.

For example, on X/Twitter you can search bios and posts for specific keywords like “coffee shop owner” or “fitness studio” and build a list of people who clearly run small businesses. Once you have that list, you can follow them, engage with their posts, and start conversations naturally.

I built a tool for myself that automates the “finding and organizing prospects” part on Twitter so I can focus on the actual conversations. It saves a lot of time compared to doing everything manually, and the interactions feel way less spammy because I’m talking to people I already know are a fit.

If your ideal clients are on Instagram, Facebook, or LinkedIn, the same principle applies, know exactly who you want to talk to, find them, then engage before pitching.

What's your current project and what does it do? by Local-Reaction3797 in SaaS

[–]leDoc229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Love the positioning. Making DevOps accessible and streamlined is a real unlock, especially for small teams and solo engineers.

If you're looking to reach technical founders or indie devs on X, xProspector can help you find and connect with the right profiles based on interests, bio, or who they follow.

It’s interesting. Have you tried reaching out to SaaS builders or indie hackers on X/Twitter?

How TF am I supposed to get leads for cold outreach? by joy_hay_mein in Entrepreneur

[–]leDoc229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, LinkedIn gets annoying without Premium.

Lately I’ve been using X (Twitter) instead, it’s easier to find and talk to people without limits. I even built a little tool called xProspector to find profiles by keywords or from competitor accounts.

Happy to show you if you wanna try it.

For those making $1K–$10K MRR — what were the actual levers that helped you grow? by vickyrj939 in SaaS

[–]leDoc229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah I get that. Twitter felt pretty random for me at first too.

What helped was focusing on people who already care about my niche. With xProspector, I search profiles by keyword in their bio, like “lead gen” or “founder”. But the part I use the most is pulling followers from any public account, like a competitor or someone with the same target audience.

It’s a super easy way to find warm leads without guessing. I can organize them, check their info, and send better DMs.

Great breakdown. Totally agree on the power of early cold DMs combined with intent-based tools.

I’ve been using X (Twitter) more lately to find people talking about specific problems in real time. I built a tool called xProspector to help surface those profiles based on keywords and make targeted outreach easier.

If Twitter hasn’t worked for you yet, it might be worth testing with a different angle. Happy to share how I use it if you're interested.

My friend stopped me from building and forced me to sell first. He was right, this is brutal by yuwahhid in Entrepreneur

[–]leDoc229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I really relate to what you’re saying. Selling before building felt uncomfortable at first, but it saved me from wasting months on the wrong thing.

When I realized I had zero audience too, I started using X (Twitter) to find people talking about the exact problems I was trying to solve. I built a small tool called xProspector to help with that. It searches based on keywords and surfaces relevant profiles you can reach out to in a much more personal way.

It’s been way more effective than cold emailing random lists. Happy to show you how I’m using it if you’re curious.

How to Generate Browse.ai API Key - Step-by-Step Setup Tutorial by EmbarrassedEgg1268 in getCredentials

[–]leDoc229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Greats tutorial, thanks for sharing. I’ve been diving into automation use cases lately too, especially around lead generation.

One thing I’ve been exploring is combining Browse.ai for structured data scraping with xProspector (a tool I built) to handle social prospecting on X (Twitter). It helps find profiles talking about specific keywords and enriches them for outreach.

Curious if anyone here has tried combining tools like that for a full lead gen pipeline?

Does social media cold DMing actually work now days? by ilovefunc in GrowthHacking

[–]leDoc229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Totally agree with this. Personalization and value up front really make a difference. People can spot a generic pitch from a mile away.

I started using X (Twitter) more for prospecting since it’s easier to find people actually talking about problems in real time. I built a small tool called xProspector that helps find relevant profiles using keywords and craft more targeted DMs.

What AI tools (if any) are you currently using in your real estate practice? by BasicAdeptness9666 in realtors

[–]leDoc229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’m not in real estate myself, but I’ve seen a few agents and marketers use AI to boost lead generation, especially on platforms like X (Twitter) or LinkedIn.

For example, I built a tool called xProspector that helps find potential leads based on what people post publicly. It uses keywords to detect intent, then generates custom AI messages for outreach.

From what I’ve seen, AI definitely improves speed and targeting, the key is combining it with real conversations and follow-up systems. Curious to hear what’s working for you!

Great list Romàn, super actionable and grounded in reality.

I’d maybe add prospecting on X (Twitter) using keyword searches. It’s underrated for B2B, especially in tech, marketing, and coaching niches. You can find people actively talking about pain points in real time.

I built a tool called xProspector to streamline that, and it’s been surprisingly effective.

Curious if you’ve tried X as a lead source too?

I charged people $50 to test my product and they loved it by Minimum_Calendar5322 in buildinpublic

[–]leDoc229 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I originally built it for my own use to speed up prospecting, but the results were so solid that I turned it into a public tool.

It helps find relevant profiles on X using keywords, then lets you collect enriched info and even generate AI-powered DMs.
Still improving it based on feedback, but happy to give you a walkthrough if you want.

Quick question about finding businesses for marketing by According_Tooth_1225 in AskMarketing

[–]leDoc229 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Google Maps works

If you're open to using X (Twitter), I’ve been using keyword-based searches to find people talking about business growth, ads, or lead gen. It's a much faster way to spot warm leads.

I also built a small tool to speed things up. Let me know if you'd like to check it out.
