An audience is the result of posts, not a requirement for them. You can market an app from zero.

The hook is the audience. "First invoice" stops freelancers. Your logo does not. You do not need them to know you.

Alma will draft the slideshows from your link even if the account has no followers. Schedule them. A quiet account that posts a clear job beats a brand account that posts a manifesto. $29/month for 500 slides, or $199/month with no cap.
Make the posts for your app
Paste your App Store or website link. Alma writes, designs and schedules the slideshows.

A community where that problem is discussed. You are a participant with a useful answer and a link, not a brand with a following.
Do not buy followers or a shoutout from a random page

Measure store visits from the start
Zero followers and three installs from a post is success. A hundred followers and no installs is a decoration. Make more of the post that moved the store.
