Struggling to find my target audience for market research

[elachavez84]

I am having a difficult time finding individuals in my target audience (entrepreneurs with ADHD or ADHD-type behaviors) to do market research interviews. Posts with invitations to do such interviews on my Linkedin and Facebook profile pages have not been successful and my posts on relevant Facebook groups request invitations to do these interviews get declined. I wish to understand my target audience's pain points clearly. Any suggestions for how to find individuals to chat with in my target audience?

@elachavez84 I don’t think Facebook will get you enough exposure I’d try running ads on here or Instagram first. Or try podcast ads maybe. Those are my thoughts anyways good luck.

@paul_1965 You mean running ads on Reddit or IG to invite individuals to market research interviews?

@elachavez84 Yeah I’m not sure what your looking to execute on but phrase it in a way that they’ll grow and I bet you’d have piqued some interest. I know everyone thinks their undiagnosed but I really believe Gen Y and older are a largely undiagnosed segment that was taught to “make it happen” and “tough it out”.

@elachavez84 I'm 40 years old, diagnosed ADHD, and I own a bakery. Happy to answer a few questions. You should also post this in the ADHD subreddit
