Sorry to hear that man. Sucks to not get traction honestly.

But did you try to ‘jumpstart’ your product? Like focus a lot of users in a single day to sign up. That usually gets a network going in marketplaces or consumer businesses

You can essentially spend a lot on ads on your product for one day with a large budget to ‘jumpstart’ your network

There could be many reasons why users did not opt in to use the product. I suggest talk to at lest 5-10users first. Understand their friction to conversion.

Possible resons for not using the product could be:

  1. Distribution problem
  2. No perceived value
  3. Missing trials
  4. Pricing
  5. Better alternatives

etc.

Once you get clarity on the friction points, you would get a better direction.
