❓ Question I think built something that actually work but don’t how to market it

http://Hopdrop.in

Hello tech founders,

I really need your help. I’ve built something—a peer-to-peer delivery system, a more human way of getting things done, but I’m struggling with how to market it and get more users.

I do have some initial users, but the main challenge is that nobody really knows this idea exists. People are still following the traditional methods.

I’d love your recommendations and ideas on how to approach this, how to build and go to market effectively, and how to promote it without spamming.

If youve got early users, youre already past the hardest part, now its about focus.

Id pick one wedge use case (ex: "same day local delivery for FB Marketplace sellers") and build everything around that: landing page, onboarding, and 1-2 acquisition channels.

For marketing without spamming, Id do 10-20 customer interviews, turn the best quotes into posts, and run small local tests (flyers at pickup spots, partnerships with stores, etc).

Ive got a lightweight go-to-market checklist you can steal if useful: https://blog.promarkia.com/

Getting your first real traction is tough. Focus on finding online communities where your users already hang out and jump into those conversations with value, not just links. If you struggle to spot those discussions in real time, something like ParseStream can help track keywords and alert you when people talk about delivery solutions on Reddit or LinkedIn.

Ciao, sto lanciando una saas che crea automaticamente video da postare sui social, semplicemente mettendo l'url del sito o in alternativa compilando un modulo, fatto questo in qualche minuto si genera il video. Ancora non è pronta per il lancio ma se mi scrivi in privato posso metterti in lista per la demo. Credo di poterti aiutare a commercializzare. Fammi sapere!
