We spend a lot of time trying to find the first customer because we operate in DeFi. It is actually hard to find even one crypto holder who is ready for an interview, there is nothing to say about someone who is ready to try to use the DeFi protocol first.
A few solutions that worked well for us:
- There are high-level expertise articles on medium and hackernoon. People who are interested in crypto tend to lean toward good experts. We showed it by writing articles that deeply cover topics that no one else covers on the same level.
- Creating a buzz for topics that are close to our target audience. We, in reality, focused on safe investments, so NFT is not our area. However, many people in the crypto space are interested in NFT. So, to reach them we periodically create and giveaway NFTs. The way we create buzz. Of course, not all NFT holders are interested in safe investments, but some percentage who interact with them are interested.
