It’s no longer sufficient to build it and hope they come.
You need to find your core users, and constantly be thinking about distribution and amplification.
- Get your first users through @Solanamobile
- Distribute locally through @superteam
- Amplify through podcasts, spaces, livestreams and content creators
- Make friends IRL and online who care about you and your vision
The best place to get distribution in crypto is on @Solana.
I think the challenge is that everyone can now build apps
But
1) almost nobody has distribution (like an audience), or
2) the money to pay for distribution (ads or UGC), or
3) the creative genius to get distribution for free (classically called guerilla marketing)
shipped a small app for myself.
i'm traveling for a week with barely any internet, so i built an offline reading app that stores all the essays, articles, and rabbit holes i want to read.
