Unpopular opinion: your first 10 users matter more than your first 100

by

Everyone chases signup numbers early on. i think that's backwards.

10 people who actually use your product and complain about it teach you more than 100 who signed up and forgot you exist.

I've got 8 paying users right now for . haven't even scaled outreach yet, just been obsessing over what those 8 actually do inside the product.

Curious what others think, early on do you optimize for more users, or deeper usage from fewer?

You answered my question from the other thread here. 300 said yes, 8 pay. That is the real number, and it is not a bad one.

The 292 are the part I would want to understand. Did they see a price, or did they never get that far?

On your question, fewer and deeper. But 8 people can all ask for the same thing and still not represent anybody. How do you decide that one of them is worth building for? 🤔
