I've reached first 250 users
by alexwawl🎉 I just passed 250+ subscribers for our daily newsletters - https://devmates.co . Main lessons of this - do things that don't scale (http://paulgraham.com/ds.html).
☕️ In the morning I open Twitter/Reddit/LinkedIn and start searching for potential users. I make the list of them and then start introducing myself and share a few words about my project.
I afraid of doing it before, but then I realized that the worst things that could happen - they will say "not interesting".
🙌 Don't let your fear stop from doing what you want to do.

Why do you wait 24 hours to send users their first problem? Is it possible for you to send the first problem the moment after they subscribe?

Hi ceater259👋. Thanks for your question.
I'm doing everything manually. I don't automate mail sending (except welcome email). But I'll fix this soon.Do you have any other feedback? What do you want to see soon?

Hey Alex,
The formatting for the emails is a bit weird? I use gmail as my email client and the entire email from Devmates isn't wrapping, so you have to scroll to see the entire coding question. This is kind of annoying. Here's a screenshot of what it looks like. https://imgur.com/a/kowkj5w

The value is in the list. Great job! That is awesome progress.
And you are so right: every "no" allows you to think about how your offer could be better or how you could find a better audience. Literally a win-win :)

Hey Harry👋 Nice to see you here😅
I bet that can work for anyone - just be honest, provide a value and be a human. Before sending message ask yourself a question - "Will I be interested when I read it?".
