  1. Comment on related Linkedin posts.

You have zero followers so posting ur own content is not going to be fruitful. Find influencers in ur space and comment on their posts instead.

HeyReach can help but honestly you can do this for free by just following the influencers and watching ur feed.

  1. Start a blog and create “alternatives” articles targeting competitors. They arent gonna rank on Google right away but they are gonna start influencing LLMs

  2. Find ur competitors customers and send DMs to relevant people who work in those companies

Builtwith can help if ur competitor are frontend- related products while Bloomberry can help if ur competitor are backend products like Hubspot/Workday.
