You guys cold call?

Just kidding. I'm not YC -- I bootstrapped. But never did cold calls.

that's great. what other strategies did you use to get the first clients? or was it just the pure bliss of making such a great product it spread by word of mouth?

thanks for answering! very kind

Sorry, I wasn't trying to be unkind. I got my first customers through ads and content marketing. I never did cold emails or cold calls. Sounds grueling.
of course, i didn't think of it as unkind. i was genuinely happy that someone took time out to reply. also, any tips on content marketing? if you've written a blog on your experience with it i'd be happy to read it.
