How to get b2b contacts as an Indie Hacker?

by Marcin Waleriańczyk

Hi Indie Hackers!
I'm working on a side project - Slack plugin which helps in online collaboration by reducing unnecessary meetings and keeping only important ones with well-defined agendas. I aim for Medium / Large IT companies which use Slack as a communicator.
How in your opinion I can reach people with my landing page?

As I'm an Indie self-founded hacker I don't want to spend too much $$$ on Ads :-)

    I would probably try this:

    1. Reddit. Lots of discussion about Slack
    2. Google your (potential) competitors. Where are they mentioned, reviewed, bashed, praised? Reach out to those place and people.
    3. LinkedIn. Tough, because without a budget you have to reach out manually, but it might be worth a try. Figure out who is probably the owner or decider on the purchase of your plugin (head of HR? CTO? Some Product Manager?) and contact them.

    I am trying something out right now with cold email. I told someone on Fiverr the industry I wanted to target and had them go to websites of companies in that industry and scrape the emails from them. I am planning to email these companies directly to set up meetings to demo my product. We'll see how my success is, but it is definitely cheaper than paying for ads.
