| >We have one client already using our finished parts of the platform. They're paying us $250 monthly. Nice! I hope you realize that you're in a position few attain: someone paying you, and $250 at that. I wouldn't think in terms of the "finished parts" of the platform, more users will bring insights into what's worth implementing and what's not. There's already a user who's getting enough value to pay you $250 monthly. Please watch Gabriel Weinberg's (DuckDuckGo's founder) short videos, starting with this one (Number 10, Leaky Bucket): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r5R6sKfjQJY Here's the unordered playlist: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLpNwgXYhL09_afXgVjigb... I also recommend his book, "Traction", in which he goes over several channels you could test to get traction. You proved that you had someone pay. The next step is to have many pay. How did you get your first user? How did they sign-up and how did they pay? Has someone else signed for that purchase/subscription or was it self service? Did you walk them through/onboard them? How much did it cost you? Where did they come from? How can you attract similar users (same sector, same function/role)? Is the user willing to recommend the tool to their network of peers? Does the user go to a conference/events to meet with peers (same role/function or adjacent)? Would it be interesting to target that? I recommend David Skok's resource ' "Zero to 100" for High Growth SaaS – A workshop on how to build your Go-to-Market': https://www.forentrepreneurs.com/growth-academy-videos/ You're at step 3 (Prove it can be sold), the next step is to "Find repeatable sales motion", etc. You can watch the video and it explains the steps well. Take a look at Jason Cohen's talk at MicroConf: "Designing the Ideal Bootstrapped Business" at https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=otbnC2zE2rw. It's pretty good. Feel free to send me an email if you want to talk more. |
