Awesome!

Re:How to Acquire Your First 100 Customers on Monday November 19, 2018 @08:35PM (#18491245)

Appreciate your perspective. Which portfolio site are you referring to?

Re:How to Acquire Your First 100 Customers on Monday November 19, 2018 @08:32PM (#18491233)

If you could deliver more value at a lower cost than your competitor (without sacrificing your profits of course), I don’t see why you couldn’t compete.

Short answer: let the data do the talking. How big is the market? Have you driven paid/organic traffic to a landing page? Have you tested any funnels? Have you gotten feedback your prospective customers?

You can do all these things with a minimal investment.
