It depends on what kind of business it is, but in my case, social media marketing did quite well.

Show off on social media, rock Product Hunt, share cool content, spice up SEO, and hit up email. Keep it fresh and tailored to your crowd!

start by sharing with your friends, and family first. Get a feedback from them, improve the product, time to advertising

be careful with this @devoresyah there's a popular book called The Mom Test that says moms and friends will always give you bad advice so they don't hurt your feelings

@adrian_oligarch Yes, my opinion cannot be implemented in general families. In this world, there are many toxic families like what you said. Fortunately, it didn't happen on my family ^_^

For me, it has always been social media and wom by other people (testimonials, reviews, recommendations on social media) – good SEO can also help :)

Email marketing has been around for ages, but the strategy has by no means become less effective over time. In fact, 77% of people prefer to get permission-based promotional messages via email versus other modes of communication.

Research the communities where your target audience resides. Invest time and effort to communicate with them and bring value to discussions inside that community. Offer your services and products in a non-intrusive way, only when the topic occurs naturally. This low cost but very time-consuming process yet it will generate great leads.

I think there is no best way and the answer to this question is always case-by-case. General ways can be divided into paid ways and free ways, and free ways include: 1. social media (showcase is quite important) 2. seo 3. press coverage 4. referral 5. offline events 6. email notification

It is strongly connected to the type of business you have and what target audience you are looking at. All in all, various instruments of experiential marketing work quite well, but it is important firstly to understand what is your main aim

For me Linkedin Sales Navigator and cold outreach worked quite well

I think it depends on what kind of small business. For many B2B businesses, LinkedIn is quite good, while SaaS products are doing nicely in build-in-public spaces on Twitter. Paid ads can still be good on FB/Instagram and Google, although they need more money than before. Product Hunt can be good for a start. We are checking it out right now ourselves with our launch 👇 producthunt.com/posts/steerer

Social media marketing is the way to go, but it would depend on your target audience too. If your target audience is GenZ then you must have an engaging and funny ad creative with humor, but if your target audience is millennials then your ad should show professionalism.

The best way to promote small businesses online is through social media marketing, especially by running targeted Facebook and Instagram ads to reach local audiences. For example, a small bakery could create engaging posts showcasing their products and boosting them to people living nearby through localized ad campaigns on those platforms.
