This is amazing and I really appreciate your testimony. Clearly you know people need your product because you created the product based on a market exigency / need. And you discovered the need through, talking to actual potential clients! Very cool. I'm inspired by your efforts and your marketing strategy, if I may call it that, to focus on "volume" or the "volume-based approach" for X and Reddit, it makes a lot of sense, and demystifies a lot of the "outreach" that is so difficult to brandish [like a sword] effectively, especially as a small company. When you plug your solution to potential clients, is it typically after a back-n-forth or answering their questions?

It totally depends on the situation. The good thing about X is that you can link your project in your bio and do a pinned post as well, so when you provide some value in a conversation many people will check out your project.

I think the best kind of posts are the ones where you provide a lot of value and can naturally link to your project at the end. Can't be too salesy though, there's a fine line.
