How did you get your first 10 customers to your product?

@victoria_roy that's true. It takes a few months though right to see our website in search engines?

@victoria_roy @clement862 Yes, but if you start creating content the moment your write your first line of code you can build it together. Also, go for very long tail keywords. Even if the only have monthly searches of 10 or 20. You can rank for those quite quickly. Combined with cold outreach (or warm if you have friends with websites that can link to you) you can rank a lot faster than most.

@palam_s any specific content strategy that you think helped the most? I am focussing on building the supply side of https://geeksandexperts.com/

@palam_s did you focus on any particular social media?

@sneha_saigal works when you know your target segment clearly & their interests. Helps if you can focus on 1-2 of their interests, than many.

@jakub_piskor sounds like the best choice to begin with. What's the open rate for this DMs (if you have any experience in this)

@clement862 I'm currently doing it, unfortunately I don't have open rate stats yet.

@jakub_piskor @clement862 If one can afford it ($$) Linkedin InMail messages are the best

@sven_radavics What kind of partnerships worked best for you?

@stefaniya_sparysheva That really depends on the product. Right now it's content partnerships, webinars & twitter spaces. Back in 2010 I was at a GoPro competitor and we had a partnership with Red Bull. Content partnerships was big there too but also a lot of product placement. eg. Red Bull athletes wearing our cameras etc.

@abdulrashid_lamptey @lirian I was worried about the same and especially when they don't fit the target segment

@lirian @clement862 no it all depends on the product, either a friend or family know someone you wanted to use your product to introduce you to or they share your product among their networks and that is how we got our first customers not necessarily they using the product. Hope you get me?

@richw that's amazing. How did you get the first few to join the discord server?

@clement862 we uses various methods, a lot of new users came fromdisboard.org or top.gg which are websites that you can list your server or discord bot on- which has great google search results if you use a good description. posting good content in other servers to strike up chats with like-minded users is good too, but a lot of work for such little growth. in the beginning and for a short time, we promoted the server by sending DM's in related servers- but this isn't a good practice, very spam-like. but our top competitors continue to do it daily, and I can't lie and say the results aren't great.
