Episode notes
Audience Size Isn't Everything

- Niche channels and targeted tactics can substitute broad social followings for product growth.
Growth With No Audience
- Pat Walls received a cold DM from Diego who built a fast-growing app with only 70 X followers.
- Pat used Diego's story to illustrate that you can build a successful business without a large audience.

- Use Reddit as a deliberate marketing channel to validate and grow ideas.
- Test, engage, and monetize via niche Reddit communities before relying on mainstream social platforms.
