1

Optimize your product

Before selling, make sure you have a clear description, attractive images, and a competitive price.

2

Share with your close network

Friends, family, and professional contacts. They're not your ideal customers, but they give you your first sales and testimonials.

3

Publish valuable content

Share knowledge related to your product on social media. Demonstrate your expertise before selling.

4

Participate in communities

Reddit, Facebook groups, Discord, forums in your niche. Provide value first, then mention your product naturally.

5

Offer a launch discount

A 20-30% discount for early buyers creates urgency and lowers the purchase barrier.

6

Ask for feedback and reviews

Every buyer is an opportunity to get a testimonial. Ask politely after the purchase.

7

Iterate and improve

Analyze what worked and what didn't. Adjust your marketing, price, or product based on real data.

Your first sale to a stranger is the most important one. It proves your product has real market demand.

You don't need thousands of followers. 10 genuinely interested people are enough for your first sale.
