Post your startup's biggest marketing challenge right now and I'll reply with a tip, resource, or action.

1. Define personas. Do you know exactly who you are targeting? If not use this tool: https://www.hubspot.com/make-my-persona
2. Create an ecosystem map to record where they are online: https://www.notion.so/100users/This-is-where-you-ll-find-your-startups-first-100-users-e90a4a38758e4e31a1cc1d93e6aa2758
3. Review my Notion board, 100 ideas for your first 100 users: https://www.notion.so/100users/a81de48d5cd2414a8b307f7cbd461d42?v=e1d9101e6f3546fc8f91020caf822acb

imo your best growth channel should be "made with Storycreator" text somewhere on the video. If someone like Tim Ferris would post a video with this text you'll get tons of customers immediately.

What I'd try doing is create a list of podcasts on topics that you yourself are a fan of (or even actually listening). Then I would pick 2-3 shows from each podcast and create those cool videos FOR THEM (with "made with Storycreator" text of course). And then you share those vids on all social channels and tag them so that they would see it. Your goal is to make them retweet/share your videos. This way their audience would see "made with Storycreator" text.

To be a little more specific on how I'd do this... For each show I'd create at least 3 different videos from different bits in the show. Then I'd share one on Twitter, one on Facebook and one on LinkedIn a week apart from each other, tagging that person. If there will be no reaction from them, I might wait a week and repeat the process, this time posting a different video on each channel. If you'll do this with 10+ podcasts at once your feed will look quite natural - as if you're simply making your favourite bits from your favourite podcasts.

Hope this helps (plz let me know if you actually do it).

How many podcasts have you talked to so far?
What channels are getting any traction?

1. Have you identified opportunities yet? If not, try SEMRush
2. This is too vague, I am not sure what you mean sorry.

@Ishtar

have you tried newsletters?
I have 6k, people, about a one third are marketers reading my newsletter: InfluenceWeekly.co
and there's plenty of marketing newsletters at letterwell.co or thoughtleaders.io or paved.com

Try trading shoutouts with other newsletters. Curate a selection for flowstate.substack.com (the DJ there is great, and I curated a selection once, got some subs from it)
also https://albumdaily.com/
and https://www.platformandstream.com/

If you can score a shoutout trade with those three I bet you'll get up to 200 to 300 subs. maybe even 500 if you're a good writer.

1. How do you current users feel about you? Don't know? Find out. If they love it, ask them to share it (in every mailer), if they don't, fix it
2. Review my list here: https://www.notion.so/100users/a81de48d5cd2414a8b307f7cbd461d42?v=e1d9101e6f3546fc8f91020caf822acb
3. Consider influencers who can curate lists on the site, and drive audiences for you
4. Showcase the Team on the site
5. If the sign up button just links to the form, move the form to its place instead
6. Let people review previous editions
7. Consider smaller artists who are more likely to post online saying they've been featured
8. Join music communities, add value, refer people to the list, or link to online editions relevant to chats
9. Explore unique formats / ways of presenting the list. What's different here than just reading the music reviews in a broadsheet?
10. Look for more landing page tips on roastmylandingpage.com and click on does my landing page suck?
