Day 1 — Finding my first real users for Affly

Today’s progress:

User research
• Found 10 creators on Twitter and sent them a short question about how they track clicks/CTR/EPC
• Got 1 thoughtful answer — insight into how affiliates check stats manually

Community engagement
• Posted 6 value-first comments on Reddit (AffiliateMarketing + ContentCreators)
• No replies yet, but early traction always starts slow

Visibility
• Shared 1 small observation on Twitter to stay consistent

Today I learned:
Creators don't use tools for monitoring metrics, they use the tracking tools inside each affiliate dashboard and check them two times a day - that is how Affly can help them!

Tomorrow’s plan:
• Find 10 more creators using improved Twitter search
• Leave 3–5 niche comments on Reddit
• Work on landing page - make it more clear and describe differences from others

Quick question for the community:
How did you approach your “0-user phase” before you had traffic or audience? What actually worked?
