Where do you share/market a great free tool?

8 replies
If you have created a free to use online tool, where do you share it / how do you market it?

I came up with five deas, but looking for more!
  1. In your email newsletter
  2. In your Facebook group
  3. Post it on Product Hunt
  4. Post it on Reddit
  5. Post it on Hacker Newz (if you dare)

    6. On forums where people who would benefit from it congregate.
    7. Contact relevant blogs, give them a free copy to try and write a review of.

    Can you make it viral, i.e. a tool that users naturally want to tell other people about?


    Edit: Sorry, I misread the question. You said "where" not "how." Anyway, I hope my question is still valid.

    Create a landing page for it, optimize for targeted keywords, and then reach out to niche related bloggers. It gives them something to write about, and if it's a tool that will make their life easier then the better. Also, for inspiration look at how Neil Patel promotes his free website analyzer on his homepage through the use of a clean and direct landing page.

    Create some keyword rich product related videos. You might have one for sales, and some "how to" videos.

    Then post 'em everywhere you can.

    Then encourage people to share you videos.

    Look for blog posts that list or review tools similar to yours and ask the blogger to include your tool

    You might want to make it easier for them to decide by breaking down the REASONS WHY they should bother listing your tool

    Testimonials from people they know would help tremendously too

  • Create plugins that utilize the free tool on existing frameworks like Wordpress, Chrome, etc..

    Try all the options. Social media, your website and even non online media. Don't forget to use the word of mouth.
