We used our software to outreach on Linkedin and offered a beta price. We got 50 customers like that, and we then talked a lot with them about what to add and what to change. After 2 months, we officially launched and still continued using LinkedIn outreach to get new users

LinkedIn organic. You know I'm a big LinkedIn fan.
@olenabomko Absolutely, me too! It's a fantastic way of networking, isn't it?
I get my first 10 customers from the Product hunt!
Hey Mark!
Ah, the journey to the first 10 customers; it's indeed a blend of excitement, anticipation, and pure hustle! For me, the initial traction came from a mix of targeted appointment setting and strategic outbound messaging.
Appointment setting was crucial. Instead of waiting for potential clients to come to us, we reached out proactively, ensuring that we had a solid value proposition and understanding their pain points. This method allowed us to get in front of decision-makers and present our solution directly to them.
Outbound messaging played a significant role as well. Crafting personalized, value-driven messages and reaching out to potential leads across platforms like LinkedIn and industry-specific forums made a difference. It's not just about pitching but genuinely understanding what they need and how we could be a solution.
Landing those first customers felt like validation; it was the universe's way of saying we were on the right track. Every positive response, every constructive feedback loop, and of course, every sale brought a wave of elation and drove us to push even harder.
