Here's what worked for Vadootv 1. Engaging on Facebook groups and posting on sub-reddits(0-150) 2. Creating a community-Referral and WOM (150-400) 3. Multiple launches on PH, Hackernews and other beta user platforms(400-1000)

Finding 1000 true fans is always hard. With the right mindset and authenticity, you can do it. Here are some tips: 1. Build a waitlist when you soft launch - this creates a FOMO effect 2. Build a viral loop - Let people in who shared your product with their friends/community. 3. Build in public - The best way to narrate your story. 4. Onboard influencers - This way, you are building social proof. 5. Create valuable content - People love to consume, and creating value instantly hooks them to what you are doing. Last one, you know this better :) Launch on Product Hunt with a solid story and why!

Here's what worked for Hellonext.co: 1. Posting on Betalist → https://betalist.com or ProductHunt 2. Interacting on Twitter from your product's account (like, comment and such) with relevant accounts. 3. As we get the first few customers from Betalist or PH, asking them what they are expecting from a platform they signed up for. Most importantly, constantly keeping them informed about the updates. What did not work: 1. Cold emails; 2. Lost customers to competition due to not keeping beta customers in loop. While there could be many ways, this is what worked for us. All the best man. Keep pushing 💪

I think it's a combination of paid advertising, blogging and some creative IG and FB content. Thoughts?

Building in public is a great way to reduce initial friction with customers and find the first 1000 users. Personally used Indie Hackers & Twitter a lot for that :)

Target online publications Get bloggers on your side Create high-quality content Offer a free product option Online advertising

In fact, this is a long way, which includes - high-quality content, useful and interesting information, advertising

1) Find relevant communities on Reddit, Twitter, Facebook. 2) Provide high-quality content, to these communities to build report and an audience. 3) Once ready to launch, write compelling content about your service to those RELEVANT communities. 4) rinse, repeat Yes, paid advertising will obviously be a quicker solution, but it's not really necessary if you can find relevant acquisition channels that don't require money.

Personally the first 1000 wasn't the hardest it was relatively easy. Its the climb to 100,000 that it becomes difficult. Acquisition methods for Free? Really utilize tik tok, instagram reels, snapchat stories and newer apps that are similar but aren't mega monoliths. The trick here is don't do a brand account - do a personal account and promote your brand. With newer platforms you get good views and can blatantly promote like an ad since these earlier apps don't have sophisticated filters. Obviously create real content in a specific vertical (we focused on Star Wars and meme accounts which did really well).

Hi @aaronoleary - at Volograms we have very much enjoyed reading https://www.first1000.co/ They have so many tips for different products, industries, etc., based on real references. I would really recommend checking their past articles for tips from the companies that you think might be most connected with yours!

Still learning myself, but partnering with another startup with great users in a different market might help.

Always diversify your sales and marketing approach as much as possible. Never just rely on social media channels

1 Tip: Make a YouTube channel. Talk about the solutions a product like yours solves, the issues your industry faces, anything relative to what you do, and actually answer core issues that people search for or research about. We started YouTube in Jan 2021, with $0 in marketing budget. We're ending Q3 with almost 6,700 subscribers. We average 40-50 comments on each video. We've collaborated with 3 other YouTube creators. We've driven over 140 active users from our channel. It seems too simple to act on, but it really works. You'll never get anywhere without trying first! Hope this helps - let me know if you have any questions 🤝

Lifetime deals, beta users platforms jus to get first users and feedback and then facebook ads.

Without money involveld, i can only think on what not to do. * provide a sub optimal experience.... That will make your clients flee * communicate badly your features and strong points * make a bad combination of cost and benefit.... People need to think their money or time is valued For android apps create experiments were you change a color, a logo, a foto, some description. You must have always an experiment running

Start building in public on platforms like PH, Twitter, Indiehacker.

In addition to using Product Hunt, which helped, we did some giveaways to other products on our platform and found this really helped us to grow our audience.

Wow, this is an excellent post. Thank you very much for giving such a helpful article. Keep update like these posts. We Have A Wide Range Of Men's Collection In Different Types. Your Visited Once's Our Website. https://italiancrown.com/collect...

Maybe paid ads, but are they worth the money?

Consistence, Consistence and belive in yourself!
