This is really interesting. I have been studying this for a while and there are other great HN posts on this subject: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=18490437 |

As always, read whatever patio11 wrote about that. For example: "Wufoo + Free Incentivization = Cheap, Effective User Surveys" https://www.kalzumeus.com/2010/01/17/wufoo-free-incentivizat... (No HN discussion) "Your first ten customers: How should you communicate with customers?" https://stripe.com/atlas/guides/starting-sales#how-should-yo... (HN discussion https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15534034 598 points | Oct 23, 2017 | 133 comments) Can I add my own advice: In a previous post you said that you are using surveys. How long are them? I have very little patience and I'd answer only 2 or 3 questions, like * Do you have any comment or feature request? * Email/phone to ask more about this. (optional) * [Not enough patience. I ignored the third question and closed the browser!] Probably people has more patience than me, but try to make it short. |

Patrick McKenzie (@patio11) had a great post last week about getting your first 10 users, much of that post dealt with the importance of direct marketing / sales calls: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15534034
