Use paid social as fuel for the launch window
Short bursts of paid social work as accelerant for a launch or a platform push on the day, rather than as a channel you keep running. The same logic applies to a marketplace listing: buy ads for the opening weeks, long enough to collect a handful of good reviews, after which the listing largely feeds itself. Both cases spend money to start a mechanism that then runs without it.
The method

Use paid social as same day fuel for a launch or a Product Hunt push rather than as a standing channel.
- 02
Buy ads only for the opening weeks of a store listing, long enough to collect a handful of good reviews, after which the listing largely feeds itself.
