Hi, Everyone. As to get first paying customer is quite difficult. But I remember that how easily I get my first paying customer. As I am doing SEO so first time I did the SEO of vice city apk for my client free of cost. And the he assigned me a paid task. So I always suggest to do some work free for your first client he will bring more customers for you.
@buxton_rosenweigson This is a great way to get in the door and secure customers. At Fresco (https://www.producthunt.com/upco...) we are planning to launch with a Freemium model so people can always get in the door for free.

As you’ve done the groundwork to launch your business, you’ve undoubtedly met some people who could be potential customers. For instance, these could include people you surveyed in a focus group or connected with on social media. Put them on a list of prospects. B2B startups can put businesses they’ve interacted with on the list. You can also do some homework online to find companies that are likely buyers for what you sell and add them to your list.

We're still working away on our app but it's currently functional through a Discord bot. It's a free app and membership isn't needed but I find if people truly enjoy what you've created and have a use for it and continue to push updates that include additional features they will choose to support it. Currently, the majority of our premium perks is mainly recognition, and we're giving early subscribers exactly that.
@richw Rewarding early adopters is a great way to build momentum. Best of luck 💪

I had an idea, then I create a simple FREE version of it to see if people have any interest. Then put a form where people who want to have a PAID version contact me for more info.
Kind of a different story for us. Important lessons below:
We got two HUGE paying customers before we even wrote a single line of code. These were companies where iI knew the managers, and the deal was basically a vote of confidence in us as a team. We built and built until we launched. They loved it and used it all the time.
However, for a very long time, we couldn't get more customers. As it turned out, these first customers weren't really ideal, as other similar customers weren't willing to pay anything close to what they were, and they demanded a lot more.
We needed to pivot twice to find our ideal customers, which turned out to be really different from our first customers.
In the end, getting "easy" customers cost us +6 months of hard work.
So yeah - do anything to get those first customers - but make sure they are of the reproducible variety.

My first customer was sitting far away from me and contacted me via social media platform. He was looking for a developer to create a website for him. I created for him and earned my first bucks from it.
