First few days

First few days are very hard. If you build something. you get excited and then you put the product out there and then what you hear is silence. no users, no paying customers. you start to do marketing . nothing works. still no users.

how people go from zero users to 5 users ? how do you get first paying users. how do people know about your product ?

what should you do ? Most founders will give up on these first weeks of silence. Because, it is very scary. But, no body tells you . it is supposed to how it should go.

Things are supposed to go slow. Not everything grows very very fast. yes, something does. But, that is very rare.

Don't give . continue to find customers. Tell it to more and more people loudly. speak to people. in first few days or weeks you need validation of your product . not real users or real paying customers. these are phases that you need to go to.

It is not easy. Every step takes a lot of time. But, it is worth it.
