Finding your first 100 users.
Hi Indie Hacker,
casuaris.co is about to launch to help you find your first 100 users.
Many tech founders are too focused on building features, instead of building reach. Casuaris offers a couple simple to use tools to get into the habit of promoting your startup.
Hopefully you'll find casuaris useful to find your first 100 users, and sign up, so we find our first 100 users as well.
I believe it's so important to focus on marketing and growing our audience through channels like newsletters.
Not only does this help us reach more people, but it also allows us to better understand who our target users are and what they want from us.
However, if we don't take the time to build reach and grow our user base, our businesses will ultimately fail.
@ArjenSchat our 100KMRRPLAN also helps get early traction and grow business.
Really nice idea! Just signed up and will give it a try.
Thanks PATPAT,
Have you already reached a 100 users for mission control?
Cheers,
Arjen
Hi! I really enjoyed the idea, I think it can bring a lot of value. But some things where I see possible improvements 1) I agree with the comments below that a quick tutorial explaining how to use the platform would be great, as the platform seems to have even more features in the future, and could be a bit confusing. 2) On the listing opportunities page it would be great to have the names of the opportunities hyperlinked to their actual websites, or give some description, so users can quickly get familiar with the opportunity and decided whether they should use it or not:)
Hi Olia,
Thank you for your feedback.
Yes, a short tutorial would be great. I prefer to postpone adding this, as it pushes me to think about the interaction design. In the end the interface should be self explanatory as much as possible.
Check, that would be a great shortcut, for check out a service.
Are you still searching for your first 100 users? Can you share your story how you found your first few?
Thanks,
Arjen
Hello, I would like to make a comment on this as I am interested in front-end development. Are you satisfied with the theme colors? I think This shade of green is really tiring and disturbing.
Hey @eneskutlay,
The green color on the background is my favorite color. :-) No worries, do you have a design suggestion?
Cheers,
Arjen
It's quite a long onboarding process - I kind of want to have a proper look before I commit to the product
Hi @MaxwellDavis,
Good point, I think it can be shortened too. We'll take a look at it.
Have you already reached a 100 users for (one of) your statups? How did you manage this?
Cheers,
Arjen
For a previous one yes but not the two that I'm building at the moment 😀
What are you working on?
Hi Maxwell,
Thanks to your feedback, 4 steps in the onboarding are removed, it was way too long :-)
I'll ping you in the near future, when a significant update is pushed, if you don't mind.
Have a good one,
Arjen
Sure please do - Twitter is the best way to reach out to me 😀
Can you please explain how your https://casuaris.co will work? I already signup but don't understand how it will work. And also you can create a video tutorial, how I can use this? And how I can get my specific first 100 users by using your website?
Hi @arafathossain,
To get your first users, you have to go where your potential users are. So far we have sourced more than 80 sites where you can post your startup. Ranging from dedicated startup hubs like Product Hunt & Betalist to lesser known saas compare sites & blog platforms.
You signup and post your startup at these listings. Casuaris keeps track of your listings and reminds you to check them once in a while. Casuarius also encourages you to have a weekly promotional schedule. Set goals (not available yet) and track your progress.
Cheers,
Arjen
Please let me know if you have any feedback.
Cheers,
Arjen
