Twitter is actually a very effective marketing tool but you need to build yourself an audience first. Once, I shared a tweet on how I get my product https://oneprofile.info to #1 product of the day on Product Hunt and that tweet generated over 200k impressions and got me over 1000 signups and 15 customers.

Here's the tweet: https://twitter.com/yusuf_giftworks/status/1234694242586415104

Hey @iamanas22 productivity tracking app is a very competitive market and there are a lot of existing tools/apps in the market but that's actually a good sign because it shows the demand for such apps. Below are a few ideas to start off with

1. "Do things that don't scale" - target potential users individually and engage in a conversation with them and explain about the app. Reading Paul Graham's Do things that don't scale will take about 5 mins and will give you valuable advice about starting marketing http://paulgraham.com/ds.html

2. Target niche groups. Everyone wants to build good habits but only a few actually follow through. Ideally, you want users who use your app consistently rather than just install, use once and then forget about it. You will find niche productivity or good habit groups on Facebook, Reddit and few online forums. Join these forums, start engaging with the community and explain about your app. You are likely to receive better feedback and more users for your app.

3.Thought about this idea just now. How about teaming up with local Yoga centres or gyms to launch a co-sponsored productivity app? Users who go for Yoga or gym are people who want to build a good habit and are in the process of doing it so the app will be an additional benefit for them. You can talk to yoga centres and gyms to advertise the app to their users and negotiate a suitable partnership with these businesses.

Hope this helps :)

I think that starting a blog is always a good choice. This will build up followers to your product and increase SEO rank.

I'm a real sucker when it comes to marketing. But I'm getting there (it's hard but possible).
