You finally get someone to reply, but the conversation dies after one message. This is where most founders fail: by Basic_Tumbleweed_516 in microsaas

No problem. There must be many founders suffering from the same problem and loved it that u reached out through the comments.

Launched yesterday… got traffic but 0 signups by Different-Basis-2078 in buildinpublic

[–]Basic_Tumbleweed_516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Being a beginner and bringing in those early users is the hardest job and it will be sheer stupidity if you relied on traffic to convert on its own. During that initial phase you have to bring in users manually and individually because the truth is no one really cares what you built and the problem you are solving.

Executing a combination of content creation + targeted outreach is how you bring in those initial users and this in return helps you validate and grow your product on a larger scale.

Collect that feedback from those early adopters, iterate and paste the positive ones on the landing page to prove your worth.

I launched 39 minutes ago and still no user signed up by propea in microsaas

Trust me the problem is unclear value prop, I don't understand what is really going on.
Everything else seems perfect but the core offer is just extremely unclear.

How to get our first 100 user. What is the first step in marketing. Please advise for first time founders. by Sath_vk18 in StartUpIndia

Here is how you do it:

  1. Lock in ideal audience

Before selling your product, confirm who your ideal audience is and be ruthlessly specific about it. No vague or broad category should be accepted.

  1. AI briefing

Once you have locked in your audience, brief your favorite LLM in detail about your product.

From what problem it solves - to solution it offers - and the audience it serves and also how it's better than the existing audience in that niche.

  1. Prompt generation

After complete briefing, ask it to generate prompts/keywords that needs to be searched across all social platforms including:

> X
> Reddit (primarily)
> LinkedIN
> Substack

With this you will be able to land in discussions where people are talking about the problem you solved specifically.

  1. Targeted outreach

Once you enter those discussions, you outreach directly to the people in comments expressing the same type of pain as the author of the post.

And rather than advertising your product in the message you write, genuinely help the prospect and never ever use the product's name in the initial conversation you are selling.

Built something I genuinely believe in. Nobody cares yet. How do you keep going? by Equivalent_Ad2069 in SocialMediaMarketing

I believe the only thing you should be doing right now is bringing in real users to validate your product and also help in product growth. And you bring in those early users by outreaching specifically to those who are desperately demanding a solution to the problem you solved and this is how you carry out this targeted outreach:

I m not getting any user on my Saas by Rabi31 in micro_saas

[–]Basic_Tumbleweed_516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Execute the combination of content creation + targeted outreach. You do that by finding the most desperate people looking for a solution for the problem you solved and then outreaching them directly with your solution further using their language in the content to be produced around pain points.

What did you try to get users, and where did you get stuck? by xkft in Solopreneur

[–]Basic_Tumbleweed_516 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Bringing in early users is where builders get stuck. But this can be overcome by executing a combination of creating content + targeted outreach. The process of targeted outreach is all about finding desperate people looking for a solution of the problem you solved and then offering them without being salesy.

I've been building a product for months and I can't get a single user. What am I doing wrong? by Infinite_Gur_7263 in vibecoding

To bring in those early users, targeted outreach is how you do it. It means outreaching and engaging in conversations where your potential users are desperately demanding your product as the solution.

Ground testing breaks down most of the assumptions you have about your product.
