Re:Ask HN: How are you acquiring your first hundred users? on Wednesday May 14, 2025 @11:41AM (#43985877)
This is the workflow I use based on what other successful companies have done:

1. Start by defining an Ideal Customer Profile and be very specific (for examples, Facebook started with Harvard students in certain social circle). A good way to know how to be specific is by using a framework to define your ICP, like this you know if you are collecting the right information or not

2. Once you define your ICP, depending on the framework you are using will have mapped where they usually "hang out" online and offline -> At the beginning prioritse offline more than online. You are doing things that don't scale.

3. Having that information, you then design a way to get in front of them. If you are going the "online" route, then it can be Paid Ads, it can be social media DMs, etc... I only recommend the only route once you know you have the right messaging tested by talking with users that became paying customers.

As a final note: try to get as many users that fit the same ICP as possible at the beginning, you'll want to seem a big fish in a small pond.

This is great.

What about writing also in a more conversational form? I have read that it is one of the main ways to get picked up by LLM chatbots

A bit of a clickbait title but interesting read. I guess we are still too early to know how GenAI will make things evolve in realm of human intelligence. My bet is that it will actually enhance it that atrophy it.
This is fantastic. I was looking for something like thi, in particular around ACP.

Re:What to Do If Your Boss Asks You to Break the Rules on Thursday January 07, 2016 @02:28PM (#10860109)
I would be better if it said "the law". As I see "the rules", is more like the status quo, that often, need to be broken
