actually it is a long term plan and strategic approach. it depends on several parameters. type of product, audiences, target group etc. then need execution plan.
Promoting a startup or side project requires a strategic approach to reach the right audience.
Here's where I with my JetSoftPro's team (https://jetsoftpro.com/) focus our efforts:
Online Communities: Engaging platforms like Product Hunt, Reddit, and specialized forums relevant to your industry can help you connect with your target audience and gain early traction.
Social Media: Leveraging platforms such as LinkedIn, Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook allows you to showcase your project's value, interact with potential users, and create a strong online presence.
Content Marketing: Publishing insightful articles, blog posts, and videos on platforms like Medium or your own blog can position you as an expert and draw attention to your project.
Networking Events: Participating in industry conferences, webinars, and workshops provides valuable opportunities to showcase your project, learn from peers, and connect with potential collaborators.
Email Campaigns: Building an email list enables you to keep your audience informed about updates, news, and offers related to your project.
Collaborations: Partnering with influencers, other startups, or complementary businesses can help you tap into their audience and gain exposure.
Startup Directories: Listing your project on platforms like Crunchbase, AngelList, and Betalist can increase your project's visibility within the startup ecosystem.
Online Ads: Strategic use of Google Ads, Facebook Ads, and other online advertising platforms can help you target specific demographics and drive traffic to your project.
App Stores and Marketplaces: If your project is an app, getting it listed on app stores like Apple App Store and Google Play can increase its visibility and accessibility.
Pitch Competitions: Participating in startup pitch competitions can provide exposure, networking opportunities, and potential funding.

ah, the art of amplifying one's craft. 🎨
1. communities like PH, indiehackers: genuine feedback awaits.
2. reddit's r/sideprojects or r/startups: tread with value-first approach.
3. local meetups: nothing beats face-to-face insights.
4. niche-specific forums: find your audience's digital hangouts.
5. twitter threads: conversations > promotions.
6. linkedin: share the journey, not just the destination.
7. guest blogging: wield the pen, share expertise.
8. collaborate with complementary projects: synergy amplifies reach.
9. engage in relevant FB groups: be helpful, not spammy.
10. always, organic word of mouth: authenticity travels.
remember, it's less about where, more about how you engage. ✨

As a SaaS Product Demo animation explainer video expert, I promote my startup/side project on a variety of platforms, including:
LinkedIn: LinkedIn is a great platform for connecting with potential customers and partners. I use LinkedIn to share blog posts, articles, and videos about my product, and I also participate in relevant groups and discussions.
Product Hunt: Product Hunt is a great platform for getting early feedback on my product. I submit my product to Product Hunt every time I launch a new feature or update, and I've gotten some great feedback from the community.
Twitter: Twitter is a great platform for building a following and generating buzz for my product. I use Twitter to share news about my product, as well as links to blog posts and articles.
Facebook: Facebook is a great platform for reaching a large audience. I use Facebook to share videos and images of my product, as well as links to blog posts and articles.
I don't have any product yet but probably use social media channels and then use physical world options such events
