Lately I've been watching a lot of podcasts about startup founders and how they acquired their first 100 customers. They all have different playbooks but most of them always end up in this main platforms that opened the doors for them. What do you guys prefer based on experience?

      Tiktok. Many low-key restaurants or businesses become big when they got exposed on tiktok. They get influencers to try their food and service, they got featured in these influencers’ accounts with thousands of followers then people would try them

    2. It really depends on your business and the target audience. TikTok is my favorite (as a professional marketer).

      Depends on industry, of course, but Reddit is the one with the biggest audience-reach for now. Next is TikTok. Think you should start with this two, but tiktok is the easiest one.

      I don’t think the platform matters as much as the ability to curate relationships. X and reddit are different than tiktok because it’s more intellectual and we can speak like this. Tiktok is better for creating visual expressions of your idea and building an audience.

      I’m spending the next 90 days focused just on Reddit. My target audience tends to be soloprenuers and the DIY crowd, so I think this will be the better platform since they are already here and asking questions.

      I’ve tried X in the past but it’s just not for me. I don’t know what it is, but if I don’t vibe with something I’m not going to stick with it.

      TikTok seems like more work than I want to put in. I can type a response from couch in my pajamas here on Reddit, for TikTok I need to look a bit more put together.

      I think it really comes down to knowing what you like doing, and which can fit into your existing lifestyle. It does matter to know where your target demographic hangs out, if there isn’t an overlap you will struggle.
