    We just started messaging people on Linkedin who matched our ICP and offered a beta-discounted price for a lifetime. We got the first 50 users like that and then increased the price, continued using LinkedIn, and started using other channels. What about you? We're launching Skylead 3.0 soon: https://www.producthunt.com/products/skylead

    Launching soon!
    A LinkedIn message. But it wasn't a cold sales message. I pinged the person to learn what they think of the product, they ended up paying as well.

    a lot of founders actually found few of their earliest customers through either referrals or they already had a network or a following built on social media hence they leveraged it to get their first few customers so that is a good way to go

    @novabyte We used our Founders' accounts and started messaging our ICPs (mainly other CEOs and Founders). We managed to get a few replied but after a while you get lost in all the social media noise.
