Building is super cheap now but standing out among all AI noise has become so hard. I am seeing barely any response to my email and LinkedIn messages. These are not generic messages. They are personalized.

I am hearing similar stories from people I know. May be it is my network bias. I am building following on LinkedIn but I honestly hate it. I hate the facade of putting of expert hat and writing in stupid one sentence per line style.

The bar for customer acquisition is so high right now.

What can I do to get first 10 customers?

Please suggest for someone who don’t have much of a network.

Where did you find the first 10 people you talked to when making sure you were building a product people want in the first place? Call them back. Have them try it. If they like it, tell them to tell other people.

I never had 10 customers . Hence, the question.

One or two people who paid I had are looking for agency type solution and can't provide substantial feedback.

"have much of a network." There is your answer, basically walking up to them and talking to them.

This looks naive but where do I approach them to build the network?
