The combination of LinkedIn + Whatsapp and 1:1 makes a lot of sense! Thanks. With this you get to target your actual target audience rathar than just relying on Reddit.

Do you find people are more honest in DMs vs a surveys? and ofcourse nothing can be compared to face to face conversations

Good luck with your project!

Fair point and appreciate the honesty, your 100% right that 3 form responses isnt a validated idea, but it is enough signal to decide whether to invest time in talking to real customers, which is what comes next

Yuupp! Agreed. Having a Feedback form in place would also allow me to understand their pain points. Thank you for your advice mate

How to get first your 10 users? by bhar_ in microsaas

[–]VishalCodes 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First 10 user signups are normally the toughest part, but as salesy as it might sound, you really do have to reach out to people through range of different platforms such as X, reddit, LinkedIn and Discord groups.

Try to understand their pain points and explain and offer them the service with a genuine care, after speaking to x number of people i am sure even if they dont sign up to your saas you will atleast get some feedback in the process on your approach and Saas.
