Besides Product Hunt, how were you able to find your first users and collect feedback?

Question

Curious how everyone acquired their first 100, 500, 1000+ users? What inorganic ways did you resort to to get people using your product?

Philip Snyder · Accepted Answer

Twitter, Email, LinkedIn. Bring people in for an MVP and see how they use the product.

Oscar Wehbe · Answer

Friends and family mostly. They're a good base because if they don't want to refer your product than you have a real problem you need to fix. Obviously this is more relevant for a D2C product.

@cameron_howe1 Both - well - I start with personal then move to cold. Getting intros from personal network is nice

@philipsnyder so cold outreach to your network and look for bites? Or targeted outreach to people you think would use it?
