This is true. Yet, the business world is cut throat. In the startup world, it can be even more brutal. I am barely learning the ropes of the sales and marketing side of running an early stage venture. What is the best way to get testers and clients on nostr and elsewhere? (Without obviously trying to pay larger accounts to promote you)
Discussion
On nostr and probably anywhere else just be genuine and casual. Nothing wrong with promoting your things. Ask for feedback, pitch it as something to try - if people are curious they’ll give it a go.
This is a good reminder, I’m locked in.
What's the top value you offer?
What's the pain your ideal customer has that your product solves?
My most valuable offering is my Combat Writing Method. I published a read describing the framework for free (link on my profile).
As for pain points of my ideal customer, my pilot for those who want pay, addresses surface level use of ai in writing and publishing. Combat Writing battle-tests your pieces and creates conditions for insights to emerge that you otherwise could have missed.
