There's only way I know how to build a company. One customer at a time. Do it for long enough and you'll be fine.

Btw, checked out your startup. Looks cool. We talk to people sometimes who'd be a good fit for you. We should probably chat!

"One customer at a time" is a good advice, however at some point you need to consider things like new customer acquisition price and operational costs vs your sales.

Otherwise I can build paid YouTube clone and spend millions on adwords to get few paid customers. So what?

Thanks for checking videolla.com btw! You can contact me at vlad (a) videolla.com re my service.

Great points. If you can figure out how to close one customer, determine what they're worth, and how much they cost, it becomes much easier to understand how to get the next customer.

Repeat this process over and over and you'll understand how to value a channel, which helps to approximate the value of the next channel and so on.
