Yes! Yes! Marketing has changed 1000% since the Dark ages! People forget that you can now marketing your product effortlessly and completely for free to everyone in the world. No more complaining that "my awesome product failed because no one knows about it" -- just press that Tweet button and you're on!

Literally describes 100% of IndieHackers threads about "I sold 540 copies of my products on Twitter in 8 hours".

I imagine one could swap “Have” for “Pay to work with someone who has”.

where do I sign up?!?!? marketing today costs money just like it did years ago, you are still paying for visibility and there is no "free" traffic anymore like there was in the late 90s.

I hope it's that easy! Until about 3-4 weeks ago, I'd rarely used Twitter for professional purposes.

It can be a bit intimidating at first to put yourself out there. And there's certainly strategy required to use it well.

But I think consistency is the name of the game to be successful with it. We'll see!
