Ask HN: Advice for Marketing and Lead Generation?

2•keepamovin•9mo ago
I know I could just ask Grok or ChatGPT or search online. But there's a lot of noise. I have skills as a technical founder, but I've never done much marketing besides "post to HN" and the occasional "post to ProductHunt". This is my year to market and grow a lot of what I've built.

My main product is a B2B remote browser. All sales so far have been in bound. I don't mind long sales cycles of corporate, and I've gotten used to people flaking out, and learned to read red flags for shady behavior, are better are reading contracts.

My business has no debt, and no lawsuits, and no outside funding - and (for now at least) I want to keep it that way!

I put the code on GitHub, but use license keys and telemetry (like Andris from EmailEngine). The product is largely stable and works across many platforms.

Marketing and sales are the two biggest areas I can improve. I know there are folks out there with similar experiences and backgrounds, who are absolute GTM masters, and I want to build that skill this year.

What is yer advice to me, good folks?

1) Figure out your ICP 2) Figure out where they spend their time - eg dedicated forums, YouTube, particular TikTok influencer, etc 3) Make yourself present wherever they are - varies by channel, eg answering a related question on a forum and plugging your tool

If you don't know how to answer (2) or (3), pay for someone who's already embedded in that field to show you the ways. Can be influencer/thought leader, can be founder of another tool in that field, etc.

Thank you! This is great actually. I really appreciate it. The amount of structure may seem small here, but it means a lot to me and shows me so much! Thank you:)

Reaching out to influencer would be way more expensive than simply running the ads- would you agree?
