A Running Thread Of Ways Founders/Makers Can Grow Their Startup

As a former founder of 20 years and as Head of Ad Sales at @producthunt, I meet founders every day looking to grow their startup. But the truth is, it's hard to get distribution! And it's only getting harder as building is getting easier. I am starting a thread where I can share some ways i've grown my prior companies, with specific tactics. Feel free to add your own tactics and add to the conversation, and upvote anything you think is helpful to you and other founders.
