How To Get Your First 1,000 Users For Your Startup

“How can I get my first 1,000 users?” Is one of the most popular questions I get asked whenever I do consultations or meet a new client.

Last week, specially for Ledel’s FlyBudapest conference, I teamed up with (the amazing!) Ben Lang to answer that question.

In a 45 minute talk, we shared 6 best practices on how to acquire the first users for your startup.

For those who didn’t get a chance to come to the conference, we’ve uploaded the talk slides:

The slides contain great piece of information. For any startup, gathering the first set of customers is always tough. Retaining the customers is also important. When you retain customers, you get repeat business. Existing customers also help in bringing new customers by referring them. Giving away free services at the beginning can be a great strategy to get more customers.

  In my personal experience it’s to create a service customers can use monthly. Recurring business model is the best for a successful business online.

    But how do you get them to keep paying you and stay active?
    What are your best practices on the matter?
