I’ve had success twice using targeted social media outreach — specifically by joining relevant subreddit discussions and commenting on YouTube videos where my target audience was already active.

Instead of simply promoting your service right away (it often feels spammy), I recommend genuinely engaging in conversations until the right opportunity comes up.

I ended up turning that process into its own product: https://sparkflow.ai/

Do you have numbers?

i.e. what the "success" was like in each of the outreaches?

I never pulled numbers but since I got most of my first 100 users through this without paying any money, the ROI is positive :) Time was an investment though, and that's why I hope my service will help here.
