How did you land your first customers?

Question

We got our first customer through social media. It felt like we opened our shop for the first time, and after that, our product never looked back. I still remember when we launched www.Feedspace.io on Product Hunt for the first time. We were hopeful it would do well, but we didn’t expect the huge sign-up traffic and 33 paid signups! Share your story too. It’s always great to hear how startups begin and how their products are doing now!

we can connect in these network also:

There's no secret sauce, it's hard, but a few things that worked great for me: 
- Slack Communities - there are loads, and if you solve a common pain point you'll come across people actively looking for solutions!
- Product Hunt - reach out to people that upvoted similar products. They are obviously interested in solutions like yours!

For indipen.io, we found our first customers on LinkedIn. We optimized our profile to share our value proposition, started creating content around our persona's pain point and reached out to people who interacted.

I think that's a good strategy for most B2B products 🙂

For my other tool, where the persona is not active on social network, I used cold emailing and recommandation from previous customers
