Need advice to get users

Last year, we launched our productized service and here are the few things we did for to get 10 first paying customers, I hope it helps:

Pre Launch

1.We shared our challenges and asked for feedback during the building phase (design, user persona, pricing, marketing, basically anything).

2. Help and support others, and make friends on Twitter.

3.Engaged in conversations where people are talking about the problem we were solving (you can use F5Bot, a free service that emails you when your selected keywords are mentioned on Reddit or Hacker News).

Soft-Launch

4. Create a no-brainer offer (70-80% discount as primary goal is to collect feedback) and DM potential users to share their feedback.

5. Reach out to users over DM of our previous product.

6. Joined the PH community on LinkedIn and share love with people asking for support and ask for feedback if they are our ICP.

About to Launch

7. Promoted our product in the communities of products we used to build your product (like softr, a no code website builder, has a community)

8. Joined the community of founders/creators we love (my favorite is morningmakershow)

9. Promoted our product on "pitch your product" tweets.

10. Launched on launchpads like Uneed, Microlaunch, Launching Today, SaaSHub, Hacker News, Side Projectors, Peerlist, Ctrl Alt CC, Promote Project. (You can launch your product in launch arena here on huzzler as well)

11. Launched our product on relevant platforms and directories.

Cross- Launch

12. Collaborated with founders and platforms having the same audience as ours.

13. Find creators and founders whose products or services work well with ours.

Post-Launch

14. Tried ads on social platforms (didn't work out for us, but it may work for you)

15. Overdelivered and ask for a testimonial.

16. Shared your small wins and learning over the internet.

17. Try, try, and try until something works, and double down on what works.

I'd say go on subreddits such as r/entrepreneurs or r/sideproject and sort by new posts. Then go around commenting and provide value to posters. This might be feedback, advice,.. And start causally mentioning your product. Invite them to use your product for free. Hope this helps 😁
