How did you get your first paying customer?

still on the way to get first customer

I don't remember (it was too long time ago), but probably SEO :D In my latest businesses, the first customers come from Twitter in most all of the cases

LinkedIn (or my own network) and then ProductHunt.

I got my first customers from Reddit and Hacker News

Our partners became our paid customers.

For a previous project, we found him through our personal networks.

First from my own network and second from twitter

Outreach on Linkedin to relevant people although it's been very enterprise-focused product.

DM on Facebook. Typically you get first customers from a network or existing relationships. Then you get referrals, and then you start selling to strangers. That's when it gets harder because people don't know you or your product.

Hi Ankur, I am doing youtube marketing from last 7 years and completed more than 20k+ customers for my first product so most of the sales i made from youtube.

personal connections and immediate business network

I'm a free service, no paying customers are involved for me.
