How did you get your first 10-100 customers? 👀

Question

Hey PH community 👋🏽 almost everyone talks about getting the first 10 customers. But it's slightly easier if you ask me as we can into our existing network. What's comparably harder is getting that first 10-100 customers. So how did you acquire your first 10-100 customers? Would love to know.

Heavy amounts of cold emailing and leveraging my existing network. Additionally, leveraging references helped for exponential growth

You can just reach out to your friends and family, share your journey on social media, and offer some cool deals to grab attention. Keep it fun and genuine, and don’t be afraid to connect with folks in person or online. The more you engage, the easier it’ll be to get those first customers on board! You got this!

Back in the day for Notifier, we got our first 100 customers by posting on Product Hunt, actually.
