Hey mate, congrats!

Care to tell how customers are finding your app? Are you marketing it somehow or it's all organic? You may never know, your might help someone else tomorrow :)

Of course , I can’t tell you what worked because I’m not tracking the origin of the visits to the point of purchase but here is what I did:

Used Google AdWords but with a real low budget (10€ per day)

Used Reddit to share it and hacker news , there was a post I did in Reddit which took a lot of attention and was the cause of having to put it paid due to the amount of usage: https://www.reddit.com/r/Office365/comments/v3z5q9/microsoft...

Shared solutions and contributed in Microsoft tech support community

Was careful to use keywords based on google trends and Google AdWords recommendations on my blog posts

I didn’t send any cold emails but was thinking about it although there might be gdpr issues and spam risk and just bothering people
