You're a first-time founder who hates/is new/sucks at marketing.

I hear you, here are 5 brainless ways to acquire your first 50 paying customers.

No "hacks", simple sexy growth

Firstly.

Before anything, find your PERFECT customer.

People who HATE their existing solution, but have to use/do the work, and are willing to pay.

Alright, let's assume that's marketers who hate repurposing

1) Cold Email 1000 leads

Cold email is life-changing. Find 1000 emails + send personalised emails to them using

SmartWriter (emails+personalisation) & GMass (free) for sending emails

2) Post on authority FB groups

Every niche has high converting groups. Don't spam links.

Spend 2 weeks commenting/posting in these groups/DMing people who reply.

Easy 10-15 customers from here

3) Cold DM 50 people on Twitter

Twitter users have an extremely HIGH purchase intent. Beats Linkedin at times.

Find people who follow your competitor, DM them with your product.

4) Outbound on Reddit

Use Howitzer to find people talking about your problem and auto DM them

Set and forget campaign

5) Partner with creators

Upwork to find people in your niche (Udemy/Youtube/Tiktok).

Partner with them / pay an affiliate to review your product. Review being the important part.

Do this for 2-3 weeks and I guarantee you'll have ATLEAST 50 customers AND/OR you would have validated if this idea will work or not.

After which you splurge on ads + SEO
