I know this sounds like a very broad question..

I've created a new social network, and for the past years we were really focused on getting the product market fit on track... after that improving user experience and interface and all of that...

Now, we finally did it... the numbers are looking amazing...

• Active Subscriptions: +122% growth from January to July 2026.
• Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR): +53.7% increase over the same 7-month period.
• Retention Outperforming Benchmarks: Members who join stay. Our cumulative cohort retention reached 50% in M1, 48.39% in M2, and 37.04% in M3, far exceeding standard social networks industry averages.

With that said our biggest bottle neck right now is growth... how to generate more leads? how to grow sustainable?

I mean, until this point we grew through word of mouth... and now we want to kinda put the feet on the gas and really grow if you know what I mean... so my question is, can anyone help me out with top of the funnel? on how to generate more leads? and bring new users in without relying on word of mouth only...
