🚀 10 Practical Tips to Build Traction for New Startups Early traction doesn’t need a massive budget — it needs focused action. Here are 10 easy-to-use, practical moves: 1. Start with your network — Your first 50 users are likely in your phone. Reach out. 2. Get on Product Hunt — One of the fastest ways to get visibility and feedback. 3. Create a waitlist — Scarcity drives urgency. 4. Document your journey — Share your story on LinkedIn or X. Build in public. 5. Cold outreach done right — Personalized > templated. Make it about them, not you. 6. Launch a simple landing page — Validate interest before building the full product. 7. Answer questions on Reddit/Quora — Provide real value in your niche. 8. Run a small giveaway — Create buzz with minimal spend. 9. Collaborate with micro-influencers — Their trust > your ads. 10. Turn users into advocates — Delight early adopters and they’ll spread the word Traction is built one authentic step at a time. Start small, stay consistent
