How to find the first 100 users for your startup 👇

Underrated Business Growth Hacks for Startup Founders

Hey, I’m Natia!

Every week, I send fresh ideas to business owners who want to scale their startups quickly, get more clients and do better marketing!

Here’s how to find the first 100 users for your startup:

→ Use endorsely.com to find affiliates already promoting your competitors

→ Reach out to them, offer a 50% affiliate commission, and explain why your product is better than the competition.

→ These affiliates will promote your product and bring in your first users.

Share the product in subreddits:

Recruit beta testers using Linkedin Jobs. Here’s how:

1. Make a free job posting on Linkedin
2. Make it explicit: ‘volunteer role, no pay'
3. Recruit beta-test volunteers for your startup
4. Redirect them to Google form and collect emails
5. Set up a Zapier automation to send emails to applicants for them to test the web app

P.s.

Repeat step 1 every 6 hours. Linkedin free job posting caps out at 150 views (the algo de-ranks after that)

Send cold emails using Apollo. Here’s how:

1. Access: Apollo. io
2. Click on Search and select “C-level” under job titles
3. Choose "verified" for the Email status
4. Insert your business niche in the “Currently hiring for” section (to detect a clear buying intent for your solution)
5. Filter companies with an ARR ranging from 0.1 - 5 Million USD
6. Save search results and add scraped emails to the new sequence
7. Use the following subject line:

[Their company] <> [Your Company]

8. Don't sell in the first email, instead, outline your value proposition in under 50 words.
9. Avoid spam words: free trial, investment opportunity, etc.
