Ask How do you find where your target customers spend time online?

I'm feeling a bit lost right now. I've set up my online store and I know who I want to sell to, or at least I think I do. The problem is I have no idea where these people hang out online.

I've tried sharing my store link on a few social media sites and some forums that seem related. I also looked for groups that might be interested and joined a couple. I keep posting and waiting to see if anything happens.

So far, I'm not getting much engagement and I'm unsure where to focus my efforts next. How do you find where your target customers spend time online?

Start by knowing who you're trying to reach. Then peek at the platforms they're already using. Professionals? Probably on LinkedIn. Gamers or hobby nerds? Reddit. Younger crowds? TikTok or Insta. You can also spy a little on your competitors to see where they get the most action. Social listening tools help you track what people are chatting about in your niche. And honestly, the easiest move is just asking your current customers where they scroll, learn, or kill time

A practical way to find your audience is to follow their interests rather than guess platforms. Look at competitors or similar brands where are their followers active and engaging? Check niche forums, social media groups, and content hubs where people talk about the problems your product solves. You can also use polls, surveys, or analytics from your website and social profiles to see where visitors come from. Once you identify the spots with real conversations, focus your energy there instead of randomly posting everywhere.
