Solo founders don't need another marketing tool.
They need a marketing team.
We're building it. It's called Ziya.
Step 1 is live -> https://t.co/Hvg27wQhX0
Finding the right conversations on X is a huge time sink for founders. Ziya automates the search, turning hours of scrolling into minutes of meaningful engagement. #Founders#AI#Productivity#buildinpublic
@1Umairshaikh The "build anything" part is now easy. The "find them" part is what I'm building Ziya for - it actually surfaced your post for me to reply to.
@vivoplt Agreed, it requires consistency and effort. I am building Ziya to help in that process - you are welcome to try it up - it found you for me :)
@divyyirl The begging-vs-selling flip happens when one of the first 10 says it back to someone else without you in the room.
Before that you're carrying the whole story alone.
Neither.
9 apps with no customers isn't a build-vs-market trade-off, it's avoidance.
Each new app is a way to escape the discomfort of distribution before sitting with why the last one didn't land.
I'd pick the app he believes in most, freeze building for 60 days, and force himself to stay in the distribution discomfort instead of escaping into app 10.
@Eloise1041955 I'd dig into root cause before driving more traffic.
70 visitors and zero conversions usually means a fit problem, not a visibility one.
What those 70 expected vs what they got is the answer you need first.
That's how you actually move forward from here.
Cold DMs to strangers don't work. Cold DMs to devs who already recognize you from real replies on their posts do. Spend a month commenting where indie devs talk launch math or break-even - that's Hollow Metric's exact lane. We built Ziya for the finding part, since that's what kills the cadence.
Finding those first users without an existing audience is a real hurdle. I found success by directly engaging in niche communities where my ideal customer spent time, offering genuine help related to their pain points first. Sometimes, just showing up consistently with value is how you build that initial traction.

@Ramdex_ With no audience, funding, or team, go conversation-first on X. Ziya finds niche threads where your ICP is voicing pains, drafts context-aware replies in your voice, and turns social listening into warm touchpoints so you can engage without the scroll.

@Reign_Builds Struggling with distribution after launching is a classic hurdle. Building an AI copilot to find those conversations sounds like a smart way to tackle that head-on OR you can just use Ziya:)

@FlorianSch28683 Congrats on shipping the invoice tool! Getting those first users is key for early validation. Ziya can help find relevant conversations on X and draft replies in your voice so you can engage faster.

@Carsten_Dev Track two relevant hashtags and reply to a few posts daily with specific insights. https://t.co/EyhbjqQIXb surfaces those genuine conversations so you can skip the bot noise and connect with actual founders.
@LinkDan777 Instead of outsourcing right away, try a lighter lift. Ziya finds the X conversations in your problem space and drafts replies in your voice, so you can engage where your users already are and pull interest back to your product. You are welcome to try it.
