Ask HN: How long did it take to get your first customer? |
These days, the apps I build are a lot more complex and targeted to very specific business use cases... and I'm lucky to get a couple signups in a month, despite nonstop Google/Bing PPC advertising.
I posted a Show HN, someone at The Next Web saw that and wrote and article about BugMuncher. On the back of that article I had 5 customers with in a day! Of which I think 4 are still paying customers :)
But let me tell you, that first $16 is addicting.
Not much marketing was done; besides facebook and flyer distribution.
How long did it take to get your first customer?
-or-
How long did your first customer keep paying?
I am assuming the first.
