It depends on the type of startup, and I personally use the platforms not only for promotion but also for comparison/dialogue with other users. I currently use: X, IndieHackers, Product Hunt, Reddit, AppSumo

Answer

Social media, content marketing, influencer outreach, and community engagement are effective free methods for promoting startups.

By the way, friendly founders shared a lot of stories about how they tried Reddit and ... failed. Does anyone have a strong experience or cool use cases to share?)

Sviatoslav Terletskyi · Answer

@kostyabolsh yeah, think X and YT would be best. At least for me 😅

Mertcan Esmergül · Answer

i think creating a story around your start-up and then posting this on related subreddits could be helpful for your start-up to go viral. r/Entrepreneur - r/sideproject these are really good ones!

Answer

Social Media, Online Communities, Content Marketing, Email Marketing, Product Hunt.

Kostya Bolshukhin · Answer

@sviatko agree on content — which platforms for content do you use?

I figured out that while lean, we can cover only a couple with strong quality.
