𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝗙𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗚𝗼𝘁 𝟱𝟬𝟬 𝗕𝗲𝘁𝗮 𝗨𝘀𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗳𝗿𝗼𝗺 𝗮 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁𝘀𝗔𝗽𝗽 𝗚𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗽 No paid ads. No fancy launch. Just one link, in the right group. Here’s how a SaaS founder hacked distribution with zero spend. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗱𝘂𝗰𝘁 A lightweight Chrome extension that helps freelancers auto-track time spent on client tasks. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗯𝗹𝗲𝗺 How to get real users—freelancers—without spending on ads or influencer reach? 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗠𝗼𝘃𝗲 The founder joined a WhatsApp group of 2000+ Indian freelancers. Posted a short message: “Built a tool to save you from manually tracking time. Looking for 50 testers. Will onboard personally.” 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗛𝗮𝗽𝗽𝗲𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝗡𝗲𝘅𝘁? Over 300 replies in 24 hours. 100 signed up that week. Word-of-mouth kicked in—people forwarded the link to other groups. Within 2 weeks, 500+ users onboarded. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗧𝗮𝗸𝗲𝗮𝘄𝗮𝘆 You don’t need a massive launch. You need the right 100 people to care. WhatsApp groups are high-trust spaces. In the early days, context > content > code. 𝗛𝗼𝘄 𝘁𝗼 𝗥𝗲𝗽𝗲𝗮𝘁 𝗧𝗵𝗶𝘀? Find niche, active WhatsApp/Telegram groups in your user’s ecosystem. Don’t pitch. Offer value. Ask for feedback, not signups. People love helping early builders—if you sound like one. 𝗙𝗶𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗟𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗼𝗻 Sometimes, the best marketing channel is a WhatsApp message with heart—not a Facebook or Instagram ad with polish.

I'm just curious to know about how these WhatsApp hiring groups help candidates to land at a job or an internship? They just post job opening details from LinkedIn (in most cases).
