It's been a few weeks since I started sharing CMS Brew and I want to share a few tips that helped me find my first users
1. Niche down
I asked Claude to make a basic list of places to share it. By default, it will suggest mainstream places like r/SaaS, r/SideProject, Hacker News, etc. But I would discourage you from doing that because:
1) It's too broad and not where your target audience sits
2) You will immediately get 10 copycats of your product
Look for niche places instead. It can be a tiny subreddit, Facebook group or Discord server. Claude is very good at finding places you didn't even think of
2. Automate
I built the whole setup with Claude Code. I have 3 routines running automatically everyday:
1) Send 20 cold emails
2) Connect to 10 people on Linkedin
3) Find new comments/posts from Reddit where I can share CMS Brew
Every action is logged in .md files. Every day I get a Telegram message with updates
3. Don't automate everything
I still write messages/comments/posts myself. The only thing I don't write manually is cold emails where I use a template
I tried automating it with the smartest models available but... it produced horrible results and didn't match my voice
So my rule is simple: automate the searching, do the writing myself
How do you use AI for distribution? Any tips/tricks?
