I'm happy to say that my small side project Tuti - https://tuti.study reached it's first 100 signups earlier this month.
I'm personally happy in what I have achieved.
All the first 100 signups are organic and I have not spent any money on ADs and user acquisition.
Majority of the signups are from Reddit, PH, IndieHackers and BetaList.
The only downside is that majority of the users from Reddit and PH and IndieHakcers do not fall in to the target demographic that will mostly benefit from Tuti.
But all in all I'm happy with what I have achieved.
I'd love to hear you ideas on how I can reach the first 1000 users.
Congratulations! You should be proud!
You could try partnering with someone on Tiktok especially if your is focused on students. Med school students is a good demographic maybe? Congrats!
congrats! here's to the next 100!
Hi, and congrats! How long did it take for the first 100?
I launched it on early March, so it took me 2 months to grow to 100 users. I know it's not the hyper growth that people talk about on IH, but I'm happy with the slow progress.
Not bad at all IMO :)
Thank you very much, yes slow growth is better than no growth at all.
First of all, congrats from this milestone!
Have you planned on spending money to get more users or do you want to keep the growth organically? Have you tried promoting Tuti through twitter, or more importantly through linkedin?
Thank you BibHack
Yes I have been also posting on LinkedIn as well. I forgot to mention that on the original post.
I have not decided yet on pushing on paid traffic yet, what do you think?
If you don't want to invest in paid traffic yet (I don't think it's mandatory), I wouldn't use LinkedIn just to post about your product, I'd use the platform for a little outreach campaign to the target demographic that is more likely to benefit from Tuti :)
