How to market a product that appeals to multiple niches on a low budget?

When a product fits many different audiences, it becomes difficult to figure out where to focus and how to market effectively without resorting to spamming platforms. Spreading a small advertising budget too thin across channels like TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube often results in zero sales because the messaging lacks a clear, targeted home.

What people tried

Every workaround mentioned in the threads below. We haven’t tested any of them — and nobody here is claiming they worked.

  1. 1
    Placing sample inventory into specialty retailers across a few niches and watching which ones reorder to see where customer demand lies.

    Talking about products directly on Reddit, Instagram, and YouTube
  3. 3
    Relying on viral Reddit threads

I seem to do well when the right people come across them but my product seems to apply to so many different niches it's hard to know where to focus and how to market it effectively.source ↗

I'm wondering if anyone is in the same position, I of course don't want to spam Reddit all the time, but I also want to show people what I've made.source ↗

I've tried Tiktok, instagram and YT adds (spent maybe 1000$ total) with ... probably zero sales.source ↗
