Where most teams get stuck
No traffic to analyse yet, so the plan leans on category, competitors and channel fit.
What your plan is built from
We read what you say you do, who you say it is for, which competitors exist and where their users talk. With no analytics history, the plan weights channels by fit rather than past performance.
The plays that usually rank highest
Your own plan is built from your website and numbers, but this is the shape it normally takes.
- Founder-led posting and replies in the communities your users live in
- A launch sequence that does not depend on one big day
- Ten warm conversations a week, scripted
- The two content pages worth writing before any others
- A waitlist or trial page that says one clear thing
Agents worth running
Reddit and X, daily. Early users are usually found one conversation at a time. Nothing is ever posted for you. gtm.help finds the conversation and drafts the reply; you read it, edit it and post it from your own account.
Worked example
One play, in full
Ten warm conversations a week, scripted
Before there is traffic, the only reliable channel is talking to people who already have the problem.
- List the ten communities, newsletters and group chats your first users read
- Answer one question in each, publicly, with no pitch
- Message anyone who replies with a two-line, specific note
- Log what they say back into the plan so the next week is sharper
- Effort
- Three to four hours a week
- Payoff
- The pattern most early teams use to find the first ten paying users
Questions
Before you start
We have not launched. Can we still use this?
Yes. Paste the landing page or a description of what you are building; the plan is built from category and competitors instead of traffic.
Is this just a list of generic startup advice?
The plays name your competitors, your communities and your queries. Anything we cannot ground in your own information is left out.
How much time does it assume?
You set the hours. At three hours a week the plan shortens itself rather than pretending you will do ten things.
Is the plan really specific to my business?
It is built from your website, your category and any tools you connect — not a template.
What does it cost to try?
You can read your first three plays free. The full workspace is a seven-day trial.
