Have you tried selling it to people in person?

I am working on it now, it's time consuming and will yield results down the line. Our team is hoping to try social media to accelerate acquisition at an early stage.

When I think "successful social media marketing" I think of some kind of podcast or blog... say

https://www.flightradar24.com/blog/avtalk-podcast/

or

https://multithreaded.stitchfix.com/blog/ https://www.stitchfix.com/men/blog/ https://www.stitchfix.com/women/blog/

(e.g. it was reading about machine learning at Stitch Fix (SF) that I felt solidarity for them and became a subscriber)

That aviation podcast is like a freight train, but that is because they have been doing it so long.

If there is a royal road, it is to pay someone and ride on their momentum. For instance the SF company will hire pro bloggers, you work with an "influencer", etc.

This San Francisco entrepreneur staged a fake protest to launch Salesforce.com (SF)
