Hey Satyendra! Agreed, finding early customers is always a challenge. I'm working on https://useblotter.com, been experimenting with a few contact methods but would love to hear your thoughts. I'm primarily a product/coding guy, so this is a whole new world for me. Thanks in advance!

@morrism Matt, You can turn a blog into Twitter thread. You can use the content loop to acquire more customers. How? List out 1000s blog. Run your algorithm and draft twitter threads for those separately Go and comment those in the blog comments Let them know how their blog can be converted in Twitter thread I am sure, you will acquire many customers there. Try and let me know if this works.

@chriscarex Christian - Here are few things for you. I went to playstore and I see the app is INR 500. You should let user download first, try the app and then limit the number of text they can convert. I ll tell you why - There are tens of app in playstore with free download. So let them try your first before they pay you. 2nd - Your main customers will be Business like education, banks etc. Sell your APIs to these businesses. Let me know what you think on this.

@satyendra_sahani both good points. I made a free version called WordsFromImage Lite with limited features because of that. I decided to keep the other as paid without subscription to reduce the hassle of sign in. Is there a way to provide a trial version of the app in the app stores? Or any good paid subscription services you or anyone else here is using? The API is ready as well, just waiting to release it after the initial response on the apps :) And thanks for your suggestions!

Hi Satyendra! I'm building a management tool for fitness studios at www.gymbosses.com. I'm an engineer with a clear technical view, but cero growth/marketing experience. I'm struggling to find my first 10 users (fitness studio owners). Would appreciate any advice. Thanks, Gabriel

@gabriel_paradiso I am replying from top. Please allow me some time and I ll be back with something for you as well.
Satyendra Sahani
@gabriel_paradiso Two suggestions for you. 1st => Hire sales interns - Ask them to run on road. 1. Get list of all gyms you want to target 2. Ask them to visit 10 per day 3. Expect a conversion rate of 1%. It means one intern goes on road for 10 days and then he will get 1 customer for you. 2nd => Help these gyms find more users for them 1. Can you list these gyms on your portal? 2. Users can search gyms 3. Book sessions and visit 1st one, you should start right way whereas 2nd one you should have this in product roadmap. Happy to clarify more on the same. Let me know.

Hey, interesting topic! I'm currently working on https://botmenot.com/ so I would be very interested in what you can come up with.
Satyendra Sahani
@price2spy Your customers are basically companies whose site can be attacked by bots. If I would have been in your place, i would have done the below steps. List down 10,000 sites -> run the tests on all -> find which sites are prone to get attacked by bot -> get the contacts of the PM(there are many ways for this) -> Send them email with information but do not tell what you found in the first email -> if reply, take it forward -> if not, send them what you found in your 2nd email. You can fairly automate the above process. And if you can get 1% of 10,000 then you will have 100 Customers with you. Lets discuss more, if you agree/disagree.

Satyendra Sahani
@iam5hravan Shravan, great idea. You are at the right place and right effort - Letting people know about your product while they plan their launch. You should integrate with such platform. For example what if this gets included under PH pricing model. And all the PH launch will have this piece of integration. And not just PH, you should go and integrate with all those platform which helps people launch their product. - https://2muchcoffee.com/blog/top...

@birju_gurung Your target segments are non-tech people and businesses like doctors, artists etc. Can you make beautiful templates for such people, category wise? if yes, go and become part of such groups in all the social media platforms. Let them know that you have some beautiful templates ready fro them to make a site for them. You can also cold message such people with respective template. Start with one, try and see. Expand to different segments in next steps.

@nick_naam Today every file explorer app have this functions( you might have some USP over those) and apps like Files by Google and Shareit are giants in this space. Very difficult to fight those with ASO description. So that means to show your app on top when these giants are being searched is only one way left - Ads Give a try with a small budget and see the downloads trend. Bottomline - Your app should be in top 5 app list when searched those very popular apps. Let me know if I got right about your product.

@artifactnft Its really cool. I already see that you have partnered with Opensea. Thats great. Your customers are NFT buyers who will actually have those lockets. But to sell them those you need to go from the route of NFT creators. Get the list of creators Give them 40% commission from your revenue. Ask them to sell this along with NFT Hardest part is getting the list of those creators. You need to find like this - https://influencermarketinghub.c...

Satyendra Sahani
@cory_crapes The best ways for you is SEO and paid ads - Which you must be aware and already doing it. Let me try something else for you. Product integration with products which provides the marketing campaign set up tool like Hootsuite, Hubspot, Canva etc. Because, use of the those data which is collected by you if directly gets passed to marketing campaign it will bring the final outcome of your product. Through product integration - Users of such product will come to know about your product and might try out. What do you think of this?
Cory Crapes
@satyendra_sahani completely agree, we have our Zapier integration currently in beta with Zapier which is unlocking thousands of applications like those you stated for our clients. Our team is working on building more direct integrations as we speak. Thanks for taking the time. Appreciate your thoughtfulness on this.
Keenforms
Keenforms is a form builder with a no code rules engine. It's more powerful than an ordinary form builder because the rules engine gives you control over the order of operations, it allows you to do conditional calculations and validations, as well as other features.

@pritam_nanda92 FYI, looks like the app store buttons are misaligned on your website. They cover the description text and makes it hard to read.

@janak_patel56 Janak, it might be funny but this is honest answer. You are a marketing tool company - so you know the drill on how to get the traffic on your site. A creative idea for you. Build different landing page to show when traffic lands on your site. And say this - "YOU DIDNT COME HERE BY CHOICE, YOU HAVE BEEN BOUGHT BY OUT MARKETING TOOL" and have a bigh laugh there. And simply saying - this is what we can do it for you. Nothing else, I could think for you.
