Engaging influencers and industry professionals to spread the word about our product and form strategic collaborations has proven to be a fruitful tactic. Pre-launch buzz can be stoked even further by spreading high-quality information, such as blog posts, infographics, and videos, across multiple social media channels and newsletters.
Twitter has helped a lot - sharing features, sneak peeks, or any updates on the business to get people to feel like they are along on the ride with you. Using the #buildinpublic hashtag helps a lot too.

Sharing product teasers and progress updates on Twitter helped us a lot! Also simply engaging with people and making connections helped them remember our names when they say our product launching.
I've found that early access offerings and product teaser campaigns have a significant impact, as they create a sense of exclusivity and anticipation. Coupled with this, I would also use targeted digital ads and SEO strategies to reach potential customers who might be interested in our product, helping to spread the word and generate buzz.
Twitter is definitely one place where you can create a buzz. I did it all my promotions on LinkedIn. I should have focused on Twitter. A lot of indi-builders are active on Twitter.
Sneak peaks and AMAs work for me. I haven't launched, but in most of those I get to know the product will launch before it does, and then I recognize the name, which at least makes me click it.
So yeh, building in public in that sense really helps.
While many things could work, the best way when you have no audience to generate buzz about your product launch is easily influencer marketing if done right.
