How do you get more users?
You could try talking about your product a whole lot - on twitter, in person, wherever, whenever.
But that is slow, and everyone shills their own product, even if it's bad, so people don't trust that the recommendation is authentic. It's a weak signal.
Some products, entirely through authentic usage generate mentions on other products, using their audiences to grow. This can create a fast flywheel where some people use your product, and by doing so bring in 2 more people to use your product, and each of these in turn brings two more people, just by using your product naturally.
great user driven customer acquisition can bring about
NFTs are a great example. Someone mints your NFT, and it shows up on their profile across web3 apps, on Farcaster.xyz new NFT mints, on Interface.social and if enough people mint, it shows up on mint.fun and icy.tools for people trying to spot trends to mint - that's where you want to be.
Everyone is using NFT free mints to ride this wave - but that won't last forever, as more and more brands try to use that growth strategy. It's also not the best way to communicate what your product does, or why it's great.
The best embedded growth strategies teach new users how to use your product and why it's valuable.
