Consider looking for early users to get feedback. Many times developers and founders can get caught in a feedback loop, and outside perspectives in the early stages of growth will help you refine and develop a product people want to use.

@thisissubhendu Yes that would definitely help, (potentially as an onboarding aspect for those alpha users), but I would direct all focus to getting feedback and refining your product, and then re-directing your energy to the following areas (in order of importance): 1) Revenue - activities that generate revenue. Referrals, sales, closing deals, active prospecting, etc. 2) Relationships - activities that foster long-term, vested relationships. Meetings, coffee/drinks, referral partnerships, masterminds, etc. 3) Awareness - activities that generate brand awareness. Podcasts, speaking on stages, speaking/leading group events, marketing in publications or around your city, client events, etc. 4) Structure - activities that build your back-end systems and develop your internal capabilities. Automations, new tech stack implementations, culture refinement, coaching/training as a company, etc.

@evst that definitely makes sense. I was thinking about making a video to help user understand what it is about. Do you think that would help?

Facebook instantiates the first paid traffic, for example, Facebook or Instagram. The first testers will check for bugs. When fatal errors are debugged - look for a hunter)
