What is the best way to get market response?

Hi there, so i have an idea and want to verify it in its market, but the problem is, it's hard to get people response

I've tried to post about my idea into communities in facebook, but apparently my posts are not accepted by the admin of each group

So i tried selecting 10 person in each community and dm them about my curiousity, whether they will use the product that I will make from my idea or not, but only 4% gave me response

So i tried to post into quora, kaskus and still no one answer it

And if you suggest me to do it in reddit, most people in my country don't use it since the government block it

is there any other way that actually works to get feedback from the market we are targeting?

    Yes:

    a) Consider changing your posts on Facebook (so you don't mention your product, but rather, the problem your product is solving)
    b) Cold email - find qualified people & their emails - call them
    (see the link on my profile, I write extensively about this)

    Also, why is 4% a bad response rate? To me, anything better than 0% is good when going from zero to some traction.

      Thanks man, that's all what i need, and i don't realize that 4% is so meaningful. 👍

      Depending on specifics 4% is fantastic. You could build an empire on 4%.

        Wow man thanks, it means a lot.
        Somehow when you said 4% is fantastic it gives me hope 🙏

    If the research is through surveys, I guess you can try snowballing technique with a reward or gift through raffle at the end. Many times people lack motivation. This could be a trigger. Give it a try.

      You mean snowball sampling? I don't think it fits but I'll try it as a last option perhaps.

      But thanks for the advice 🤝 this adds insight for me

        Thats right. I meant the snowballing sampling. Best!
