Too many users
Hey, I have a happy problem.
I have recently launched an iOS app that I built as a side project and launched it on Product Hunt out of curiosity + shared it with my network.
Then people started downloading and using the product and during the past 9 days, I'm continuously receiving a significant amount of daily traffic, most of which is recurrent users.
I'm not registered as a business, nor have I a business partner or employees.
What do you suggest me to do now? Maybe go talk to these customers? Or do I continue adding features? Should I look for investment?
I'm suffering from anxiety and this is on my way to take good decisions.
Thanks in advance for any help.
Hi Gabriel,
this is a good problem to have.
Best to talk to someone well versed in tech startup business and start getting some plans together to deal with the current situation and prepare for the longer term.
In terms of dealing with the emergency fire situation, yes engage with customers, start collecting email addresses if you havent already, and get prepared for ongoing engagement, as these users will help you determine the direction, pricing values and marketing.
Hope it goes well.
Well one of the first things you should do is meditate on if this side project is something that you want to do full time. If this is something that you want, great!
I'd say you should go talk to these customers, if there's a message board of some sort make it known that you're the founder. Ask them what features they like/hate/want, further build the community
Looking for investment is something that requires you to have defined metrics (i.e. returning users, growth, etc.)
