I'm pretty new to this. I've built a few websites, but none of them have gotten much traffic yet.
My current understanding is that there are roughly two approaches:
1. Find new/emerging demand, such as new Google search trends, build early, and let users discover you through search.
2. Build for an existing demand, where competition is already strong, and actively promote the product and build a brand through Reddit, LinkedIn, YouTube, communities, etc.
