@zhitao_yan It can be really good, but you of course need to build an integration with some of google products.

@mila_dymnikova if you have a relevant integration that complies with google TOS, then, yes! here is our example: https://workspace.google.com/mar..., we were able to get around 56M downloads over time
Cold outreach isn't dead, provided it is highly personalized. It's also a great way to see if you're solving an unmet problem.
Just be honest and say you're working on building something for problem X, and if problem X is painful enough people will respond.

@between_team In YC, this is pretty much the default thing we're taught to do. Second it!
In short, it's all about spending a bit of time finding out where there is a high density of people within your ICP and studying how they do product discovery.
As soon, as you've done that and narrowed it down to 2-3 distribution channels/tactics (Could be Reddit Sub Threads, Product Hunt, and Twitter) then I would go all-in on those 2-3 until you can either confirm or disprove that it's the right distribution channel, and then you can adjust or try out a different distribution mix.
If you start out with too many tactics or bets, you'll not do any of them well enough to be able to evaluate if it the channel/tactic works and thereby waste your time.
Mostly social media and Slack channels.
Btw we launched today; if you can support us, it would be awesome! Thank you!

@nisa_meray Sure, will upvote.
I think using social media platforms to promote your product or service and engage with your target audience would be the best way. You can run targeted ad campaigns too. You can also make videos of your product and upload them on Youtube because people nowadays intend to see videos more rather than read anythin
