WhatsApp B2B two-week micro-value before soft mention
Spend two to three weeks giving small useful answers in a WhatsApp group before making a soft product mention.
Why this can grow a startup
A closed group rewards memory. If people have seen the founder answer questions, share useful observations, and understand the group's problems, a product mention lands differently. The r/microsaas founder said consistency beat volume and described a two-to-three-week contribution period before a soft mention. That is slow compared with an ad, but fast compared with cold SEO. The trick is to make the value small and specific: a checklist, a teardown, a quick answer, a tool comparison. The product should feel like the next sentence, not a billboard dropped into the chat.
Company example
In comments, the founder said the team led with micro-value, contributed consistently for two to three weeks, and waited until trust had compounded before mentioning the product softly.
