A founder shares how they got their first customers by building in public on Twitter, posting their product development openly and attracting support from students and social media followers.
How did you get the first customers? Well, before that I was, I heard about this Twitter niche kind of that's called build in public, where there's a lot of these so called indie hackers, people who build softwares entirely by themselves with no team, and they bootstrap everything. So I got into that and there was this kind of like style of building products that was just like people shared absolutely everything. It didn't matter if it was revenue numbers, how they get their clients, they were sharing everything. And I decided to kind of give that a try. And that was also where my first customers came through. It was mostly students who I knew personally, but also mostly people seeing me on X, formerly Twitter, who saw my post and decided to support me.
