I built a language learning tool, but I have no idea how to find my first users [ I won't disclose my product here, genuinely need some tips for this niche ]
I started marketing yesterday and got 8 visitors to the landing page, no sign ups at all.
I built this tool to solve my own pain when learning a new language because most apps out there especially the most popular green mascot app, they're not that effective and people know it that's why there's lots of complains.
I did research before building it, so I’m confident other people deal with it too, and I think some would pay if I can reach them.
My problem is that I don’t know where to start with marketing.
I’m not gonna disclose my product here. I just wanna understand how people approached their first few weeks when they had no audience and no channel that was working yet.
If you were starting a small SaaS from zero today, what would you spend your first month doing to find people with the problem?
I’m especially curious how you chose between:
* talking to people in relevant communities
* writing useful content around the problem
* direct outreach
* paid ads
* something else entirely
What did you try first, and what turned out to be a waste of time? What platforms is effective?
I'd consider this month a success If I end up with 10 paying users on any plan. I have monthly and annual with a discount offer for founding members.
