Looking for new ideas to get users, receive feedback, and increase exposure! Besides PH, where else do you showcase your product?

I know this is old-school, but does your hometown/city have a newspaper? Either digital or subscription based? Get with a local reporter and pitch what you are doing as a 'local entrepreneur' feature article. Shake the bushes, pound the street. How much is a billboard along the highway worth to you? Is there local business or industry that would benefit from your product? Get with the local Chamber of Commerce. Not every opportunity for growth is based on the Internet. Good luck!
Share
Another channel to check out/consider is individual substacks or newsletters. Thoughtleaders.io is a handy place to start!

Betalist got us a lot of visits and early adopters. We put together a list of other channels if helpful: https://taskablehq.com/blog/chan...

@mattcrail Note that Betalist has a wait time of 1 month if you don't pay $200.

@mattcrail @phgn0 I was wondering about your experience on using sites similar to Betalist. Anything you remember or care to share please?
Unclutter — Modern Reader Mode
@mattcrail @devaonbreaches I payed $100 for Betapage and got 162 clicks, mostly after they sent out the newsletter (it was this listing: https://betapage.co/product/doma...). Didn't try Betalist yet.
@mattcrail @phgn0 Thank you for the update Peter. Even more curious on hows your conversion rate? $1 per click is super good, unless it doesn't do much on the conversions.
I recently purchased Spread The World (https://gumroad.com/l/iIZdb), and it's incredible.

@fabian_maume Thanks for sharing all these! :)

https://appsumo.com/ can bring huge traffic if your product already monetised
Any slack channels where your target users live online, is a good place to share your product. Also fb groups and linkedin. What I would recommend if you are ok with spending 70$ (it worths it) you can use ListHour, those guys submit your startup to 100+ directories and you dont have to do anything, and that should bring you a couple of hundred users.

@tasos_valtinos I've never heard ListHour before, and it looks great to me too! Thanks for sharing! 😃

@tasos_valtinos Seems like a pretty small investment for good potential. Thanks for sharing!
@james_afino Yeah 100%
I'd suggest listing on Enterprise League. It is a platform built to help startups and SMEs collaborate with each other more effectively
indiehackers.com is a great place to list your startup. receive feedback etc
CopyFoundry
Loving this thread! So much useful stuff, thanks James for asking.
keypup.io
We are listed on BetaList, BetaPage, and Capterra. We often post on Indie Hackers, Reddit, and Dev.to to increase our visibility.
OikoWeather
This is a great question. :)
I tried listing in reddit but I just ENJOYED :( the process so far by sending dms to early users :)
Borawork
@jayson_cantones Are there any sub-reddits you can recommend? :)
Borawork
@jayson_cantones Thanks Jayson!!😃
Indie Hackers
Piktochart
You can also post on HackerNews (https://news.ycombinator.com/ ). Just make sure you don't self-promote too much upfront, but rather offer value first and then gently slide in your product/service.
@malgorzata_kieszkowska HN just recently blocked me for this. Means I can access and read news, but can't post anything :/

@malgorzata_kieszkowska Great tips! Thanks Gosia. Always looking to hone in on that balance haha.
Anyone in this thread who's done it for a VERY technical product? I 'm thinking about product/software listing websites targeting primarily developers.
My current list would be:
Stackshare
GetApp
Capterra
Product Hunt
Slant
Siftery
G2Crowd
TrustPilot
TrustRadius
Crozdesk
@yannisasimako Amazing list, well done for putting it together!
I'd also add Enterprise League to the list. It's a platform to help Startups collaborate with each other and grow
Voice Recorder Pro
https://github.com/mmccaff/Place... I think these list could be helpful. :D
https://stackshare.io/ was recommended to me, so we'll be looking to list on this soon. https://www.reddit.com/r/startups/ also has a monthly "share your start-up" submission that you might want to look at. We posted ours last month: https://www.reddit.com/r/startup...
