Go-to-Market Strategy

Execute a coordinated launch that generates awareness, drives adoption, and builds momentum.

Launch to small group first, gather feedback, fix issues before going public. Reduces risk, improves product quality.

Great for tech products. Prepare compelling description, demo video, respond to comments actively. Aim for top 5.

Launch in relevant communities (Reddit, Indie Hackers, niche forums). Be helpful, not promotional.

Publish in-depth content (blog posts, case studies, tutorials) that demonstrates expertise and value.

Partner with influencers, creators, or complementary products to amplify reach.

Content Marketing: Blog posts, tutorials, case studies that rank in search and provide value
Social Media: Twitter/X for tech community, LinkedIn for B2B, Instagram/TikTok for consumer
Email Outreach: Personalized outreach to potential users, partners, press
Paid Ads: Google Ads, Facebook/Instagram ads, LinkedIn ads for targeted acquisition
SEO: Optimize website and content for search engines
PR: Reach out to tech journalists, bloggers, podcasters
Community Building: Discord, Slack, or forum for engaged users

Define your ICP (Ideal Customer Profile): Who benefits most from your product? Target them first.

Personal outreach: Directly message potential users—personalized, helpful, not spammy.

Offer incentives: Lifetime deals, free credits, or early access perks for early adopters.

Build in public: Share your journey, metrics, learnings transparently to build trust and interest.

Leverage your network: Ask friends, colleagues, past customers to try and share.

Lead with the problem: "Tired of spending 2 hours writing cold emails?" (relatable pain)

Show the transformation: "Generate personalized outreach in 30 seconds" (clear benefit)

Differentiate clearly: "Unlike generic AI writers, we analyze prospect LinkedIn profiles for personalization"

Use social proof: "Trusted by 500+ sales teams" or "Loved by founders at YC companies"

Demo, don't tell: Show your product in action—video demos, interactive examples, before/after comparisons
