What is your favorite method of self-promotion? Has it been successful?

I've developed a chrome extension for mass following for some platforms. This is not a good way of promo but IMHO it has to be for the first steps...

What method of self-promotion do you use when you start up?

    Hi :)
    for me it is writing directly to the customer. For example if you have built a marketing automation product than I think it is a good practice to find bunch of contacts from marketing firms in Linkedin and write directly to marketing personnel asking whether they would be interested or not :)

      thanks for a good idea for the next application⭐️

    Make a blog to talk about the product or app. Then promote to the people who would benefit or might make the decision to use it.
    Good luck on your product. ;)

      Looks perspective but in long duration

    Hey Emil,

    Wrote an article the other day on here about a freemium strategy that works very well - rather than repeat it I’ll just post the link here - https://www.indiehackers.com/post/the-belief-freemium-strategy-that-took-this-sideproject-from-0-8-million-a-year-3b465df4c0

    Hope that helps!

    Best

    Chris

    Commenting on Reddit posts when the OP complained about a problem I could help with or asked for a solution similar to my product. Reddit is generally tough on self-promotion but in this case it's asked for and appreciated!

      hmm, I'll try Reddit next week, thanks😉

    I told a circle of friends about my blog when I started it gave a good start and helpful comments 😇

      🙏Yes, but it's not always friends who are interested in what you're interested in🤷‍♂️

    The reason I decided to use <a href="https://famoid.com/buy-instagram-followers/">famoid followers</a> is because it helped me grow my business. Since I have launched the new profile, I already have a lot more followers and the most important thing for me is that my products are famous now. It's so easy to use this service and you can use it yourself without any problems! I think it will be suitable for any purposes.

    Personally, I prefer to promote my business through Instagram, it's a good way to become popular in your field, but users rarely trust accounts with a small number of followers.

    Just telling people! Because I think my product/app/whatever is awesome and will benefit them. Usually starts with friends. Then associates. Then anyone and everyone.
