I launched a side project recently and my current mission is to make my project known to more people.
In other words i'm at the customer acquisition stage.
I posted on Facebook groups but I got banned 3 out of 4 times because "I was advertising and it's not allowed here".
I was a bit confused because I saw that my app was genuinely helping facebook groups. But the admins didn't care.
I changed my way of approaching these groups where my audience is.
Now I am creating useful little resources related to this area with links to my project and the newsletter.
Instead of giving the link to my app, I give the link to the resource.
I don't get banned anymore and people comment “wow amazing", "great idea”, “thanks for sharing”, etc.
Lessons:
Always finds a way to bounce back and does not remain disappointed in case of failure.
Give, give and give again so that you can ask back.
Being an entrepreneur is above all about finding solutions, and these are not necessarily technical.
