Hey everyone,

I've been working on my product for the past 1.5 months, and I finally have my landing page and waitlist live. 🎉

The product is still in development, but the goal right now is to build an engaged waitlist, validate demand, and get early feedback before launch.

I'm a technical founder, so building the product has been the easy part. Marketing and distribution are where I'm struggling.

For those of you who've successfully grown a waitlist:

• What were the fastest channels that actually worked?
• If you had to get your first 100–500 waitlist signups, what would you do today?
• Are there any communities, launch platforms, or growth tactics that gave you the best ROI?
• Would you recommend paid ads this early, or should I focus entirely on organic growth?

I'd really appreciate hearing what worked (and what didn't) from your own experience.

im working on a project, its in MVP development phase rn
I have purchased the domain from Hostinger "ustadApp" [.com] but i need the email for it, if i get it from the domain provider, its costing me a lil, which i dont want to spend because the project is not generating any revenue

So I'm looking for some other options to which i got

Option 1: create a gmail account, something like
[hello.ustadapp] at gmail .com
[ustadapp] at gmail.com

or

option 2: go for cloudflare email provider

But I haven't used it before. This is my first time doing it

== i have explored zoho but now they aint providing free professional email

Suggest to me if i should go for option 2 and if it won't affect anything, or if there's any better option for me to go for
