A lot of people have asked in this thread if I did any customer development. Many of these projects aren't actually indented to be companies, fwiw. But some were. My day job for years has been a developer at early stage startups, so I'm fully aware of the amount of sheer grinding involved in customers. And the years of iteration to achieve something that resembles product-market fit. I've incorporated some of these tricks we've used as I've learned them from our teams. Some of the low-cost things I've tried, with varied success: - Writing to influential bloggers, - Social media grind - Adwords But ultimately these are side projects. Can't pound the pavement in the middle of work.
