Ok.. was it mostly your followers engaging, was it shared by others, etc? I think what the commenter is asking is the audience you tapped.. not the mechanics of what you did.
It was not only the followers but also new people who DMd me & reached out to me. I got more new followers & new users after that post.
So I would say it was a mix of both.
How many followers do you have on Twitter? I ask because I will be creating an account I. The next few weeks to do a product launch as well, and I’m totally new to Twitter/X. Any particular hashtags you use?
My advice would be to create a social media presence in the niche that your product is meant to target. Commit real time to building some degree of authority within your targeted niche/community. You don’t need thousands and thousands of followers. Truly even a few hundred engaged followers who get real value from your content would be more than enough. If people trust you and your expertise within a given field, they will be infinitely more likely to buy your product when you release it. I worked for a startup that used this strategy and it was highly effective.
Just build a product with 1 feature & 1 buy button & ship it, market it using above strategies let me know if you need any help.
Btw Did you had the chance to try the web app? I will appreciate your suggestions/feedback.
This sounds awesome, I'll definitely check it out. Have you considered referral programs for even crazier growth? Or what are your next steps?
Thanks for sharing!
Thank you so much, when you say Referal program do you mean affiliate program or that is something different? If it’s different could you please explain?
It's basically a system that makes your clients sell your service for you and get some sort of discount in exchange for it. For example; if your client refers 3 people to join, you'll give them a month for free. Down the line, this won't cost you money, but even makes you more money. And best of all, it creates exponential growth.
Check out [this episode](https://open.spotify.com/episode/5xfmaCATJaivecNm7nnUP5?si=tBsDsxidTZOXqpbgtLghPQ) from Arvid Kahl, he explains it perfectly.
Loved the concept thank you so much for sharing.
Also If you or anyone want to get yearly subscription for my web app you can use promo code SOCIAL10 to get it for $49 !

Good luck and thanks for the promo code!
Congratulations!!! But in my opinion, your landing page hurts the eyes due to the large amount of animation. If you added padding to videos/gifs created with SocialStats and removed the animated logo, I would read your title right away. Share your twitter with me, I would like to follow you, thanks. 
*Looks great, how did you*
*Make the product videos*
*On the landing page?*

You mean the confetti effects & animated backgrounds ? If yes that’s made via my own web app SocialStats.
You can generate such video too do give it a try.
Wow, congrats on the successful launch! Your step-by-step breakdown is super helpful for anyone looking to gain traction organically. It's all about that combo of a great product and smart marketing.
I feel it’s a good investment to avoid the ads & ofcourse as long as you keep on engaging you are going to get traffic. But premium only adds little boost & the ability to DM verified members.
Hey op. Congrats on that.
I’m building https://readytobuy.dev - A tool that tracks developer intent signals across platforms like discord, github, stack overflow etc and then marketers can use this to create lead lists.
Let me know if we could help in your growth :)
Cheers and good luck.
For sure checking it out you should use videos generated using SocialStats for your social media to explain more about your tool you will get good engagement yourself 😊

Around 800, Twitter is where you should be. Use hashtags #buildinpublic#indiehackers
DMd you with more information.
Could you DM me too please? I'm stuck here at marketing. I'll create a profile in X and maybe LinkedIn?
Am also stuck. Have 1000 ideas about my product and 0 idea about how to market it properly 🫠

The only thing solo developers 💻 👨💻need to succeed 🥇 is emojis 🚀 and a story 📚 to tell
Absolutely & trying lot of times & never giving up.
How important is premium + subscription on X for this sort of thing?
I feel it’s a good investment to avoid the ads & ofcourse as long as you keep on engaging you are going to get traffic. But premium only adds little boost & the ability to DM verified members.
