Yes, LTD helps bring initial users, which helps validate the idea and demand. Have LTD as an option in your pricing table, launch your product on PH and other channels, Twitter, Reddit, Slack channels, Facebook groups, wherever your potential users are I never partner with any 3rd-party to promote my LTD, and I get 100% revenue. Can't comment on AppSumo, but I heard people ran good campaigns on it

Build in public on Twitter, kinda like flywheel marketing, keep shipping new features to make existing customers excited and get more exposure to potential customers Just started SEO, mainly write blogs, nothing special

No specific strategy, but launch the MVP early, build in public, listen to your users, evolve your product quickly, keep doing the same for at least 6 months.

My Twitter follower count was < 1000 end last year My own SEO took a while. But in the early days, some organic traffic came from the PH post. PH did really a good job on SEO for daily featured products. I do have some early users who told me they found Testimonial from PH. I mentioned the affiliate program in the new user onboarding email campaigns. If someone is interested, they can sign up directly

One growth hacking I implemented is to allow freemium users to continue to collect video testimonials even when they exhaust the 2 free credits, but if they want to access the 3rd video and beyond, they have to upgrade. I think this is the ah-ha moment that customers find value, and it's the best moment to convert them to be paying customers.

It's under $100K with very little equity loss. Money isn't my top consideration, the top thing is to get the entrance ticket to the Earnest community So far it's Twitter, then the SEO, then the affiliate program
