> Being visible on social media. I monitor discussions around the Google Indexing topics and add my replies there. I don't just spam in replies with my tools, in most cases, I genuinely answer and bring value. If my reply gets a reply, I may include my URL in the next reply.
to be honest, I exchange value for attention.
That's what good internet is about.
Im not just promoting stuff for my own sake.
My key goal here is to give as much value as I can first.
If I earn respect this way, then I'm allowed to share my tool.
