1. Partner with a micro-influencer with <1000 followers
They have an engaged audience that is not tired of ads. Perfect conditions for your low-budget marketing campaign.
2. Partner with a complementary business
For example, if you sell a testimonial tool, partner with a no-code website builder. Let people get two subscriptions with a juicy discount.
3. Buy Google Ads on your competitor's brand name
Very likely, they haven't set up brand ads. You can "steal" a few customers without any hassle.
4. Sell your product for $1 for 24 hours
It won't get you a lot of revenue. But it will generate a massive email list that you can upsell later.
5. Launch an AI-assisted side project
ChatGPT Hype is real. You can still jump on the train with a free product to promote your main offer organically.

Great suggestions Sveta, I'm working on nameai.co and aifitnessplanner.com, do you have any particular ideas on how to monetise them ?

These are very useful strategies! Cool!
Thanks for the ideas! How are you using number 5? We have this, and it's very used, but it is not converting that well into the product. Many people just try it for the fun and never actually get in.
@pranabgohain you can buy ads on competitors name, so that google search shows your product as an ad on the top
Very Cool💛

Creating a personal brand of your own and building a community of loyal followers can help you build some great business
Great ideas! Did you use any of these to grow MakerBox or SponsorThisNewsletter?
Wow these are great, thank you for sharing!
I think creating a private beta list is also a very good way to create FOMO, also maintaining good relationships with clients that are willing to share constructive feedback is essential as those feedbacks are core substance of how you improve your product overtime.
Hi @chameli_kuduva
I think I'd choose only #2 and #5. The side project doesn't need to be an AI product, any good side project will draw traffic. Math doesn't work on #1.
This is so good just wanted to say thanks!!
