Help me understand what strategies you used to get response from potential customers? I can't even get people respond to me. Reddit and forum bans surveys. Folks joining communities rarely respond to PM. How can I see product-market fit then?

Cold emails can be a highly effective strategy, surprisingly.
Do you any reference material I can read for writing cold emails and fine tuning the content? I have sent nearly 70 emails but so far I do not have a single response. May be my content is not powerful or emails are not reaching right audience.
There is an approach called QVC (Question, Value, Call to Action) that can be surprisingly effective if used appropriately. Templates and more here: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.leadfuze.com/cold-email-out...
It's incredibly hard to get 'qualitative' feedback. Cold emails, or phone calls work best. However, the best thing is to look at the data and if customers vote with their wallet or with their feet.
