How to get your first 10 customers using the following formula:
1. Find a job on a big trustworthy corporation (50 respect points)
2. Start writing articles on medium (25 respect points)
3. Learn how to sell yourself the right way (15 respect points)
4. Be the real boss on social media. (30 respect points)<p>After you collect enough respect points, start side projects and let them grow naturally like a plant and always remember that people will start using your projects once they find out who's really behind them.<p>Pro tip: If you worked on companies like Google or Facebook you automatically get 1000 respect points so you don't need 2,3,4 steps.
This is cool, seems like getting this article on HN should be helpful for you.<p>I like the total net revenue figure, $710 and low expenses.<p>I'm in a similar range for my side project, a few thousands of dollars (prob a similar net revenue figure to yours) but not nearly enough to take it full time and (by itself, from a pure financial perspective) not enough to justify the huge amounts of time I spend on it it.<p>A lot of people say getting the first X (3 or 10 or whatever) customers is the hardest, but for me it's definitely been expanding on that and taking it to the next level. One book that seems promising to me is Gabriel Weinberg's book, tractionbook.com, though I haven't had a ton of time to try and implement all the ideas yet.
I imagine some of your potential customers would opt for Dead Man's Snitch, since they've been around longer (and they're a bit cheaper). What does your product do to differentiate itself from that?
