What has been your most surprisingly lucrative marketing channel or activity?

Unfortunately I don't have any tips to share since I have yet to find a way to make my website going viral :) But I'll follow this thread very carefully! of course my biggest channel of visitors came by PH 😬

For us Tiktok is a cool free users acquisition channel. We gained more that 400K followers without marketing budget https://www.tiktok.com/@sketchar...

Here's an article I wrote on how we've scaled virality https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/r... It is interesting to see how we've been able to repeat this process many times now with great reception and completely avoid "spamming" Virality = Offer + Information + Distribution

I think it totally depends on your demographic and where they are, for us right now: - Twitter: organic - Facebook/Instagram: paid

This is a very interesting question. I love to see other's feedback on what they are doing during this tough time. LinkedIn, and email marketing seems like a great spot for me at this time. We generated organic leads and had some calls with clients via Zoom, GG met and it went pretty well. Advertising on the website is expensive and not bring many results. We are trying to bring good advertising content to Tik Tok as people nowadays appear on it very often.

For One Word Domains (https://www.producthunt.com/post...), what worked best was quality press coverage by publications that are frequented by our target audience. Sites like Domain Name Wire, Namecheap, and Namepros have all been really effective in driving high-quality traffic to the site.

Email. I join giveaway's with other brands and when they enter and subscribe they get a welcome series of 5 emails with non-salesey details on my brand. Open rates are 50% and conversion is great when I finally drop an offer.

I guess it all starts with the question: Do I have the product/solution that addresses the need/pain point of my prospects? If yes, building an SEO ready website is key for mid to long term marketing objectives. Then, inbound marketing such as writing articles, blogging, and podcasts on your website and redirecting it to various social media channels work wonders. This way, you will make sure all traffic is directed to your website as opposed to any other channel. Simalteuonsly, outreach with a short 1-2 minute video about your product will work its magic to have prospects try your product if they identify the solution for their problem. Beside email marketing, I would choose the outreach channels that fit my audience best. In summary, for early-stage startups, selling a product without paid marketing might be crucial to identify a market fit.
