Copying it from a similar conversation. 1. Word of Mouth: Ask your friends and family to spread the word about your business and refer potential customers to you. 2. Networking: Attend conferences and events related to your industry to meet potential customers and build relationships with them. 3. Social Media: Create social media pages for your business and start engaging with people in your target market. Make sure to post regularly and create content that will engage your followers. 4. Advertising: Invest in digital marketing campaigns on platforms like Google and Facebook. This will help you reach a wider audience and increase visibility for your business. 5.

Twitter keyword hunting. So I'd find a list of people who mentioned they struggling with X or need X and I added them to my list to engage and then finally mentioned it in the DM's after engaging for a while

Agree with @leolu outreach friends and friends of friends would be my first step and outreach audience on the second step, but you'll need to start some work in advance to collect audience (email waiting list, audience on X and LinkedIn)

Partnerships: Try to partner with other businesses to cross-promote each other’s products or services. This will help you reach a new and larger audience.

The customer found me via OpenAI forum where I posted my product as a way to solve the issues of having multiple custom instructions and he started paying before everyone else. Funny thing is that I've dropped him an email to welcome him and all but he didn't respond to my messages. I'm still on my journey to my 10th customer!
