This got me tempted to purchase another new domain.

Inner response: Absolutely not!
In fact: let me double-check... πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚

If you’re struggling to find your first paying customer

DO NOT:
β€’ Add new features
β€’ Design fancy effects
β€’ Ask Mom for an opinion

DO:
β€’ Send 50+ cold DMs per day
β€’ Craft content that showcases the value
β€’ Show up where your target audience is likely to be

Thanks to @andrewjscott, I realized it's time to capture the glitches in order to pinpoint these issues.

I managed to find Glitchtip, a lightweight Sentry alternative and set it up in a few minutes. Now, we will be able to identify errors right away!

It's time to ship!

Post what you have shipped (to your product) in the first two weeks of 2023 at /r/shipit:

Let's #buildinpublic!
A big shoutout to @ysj151215, this is the most professional suggestion we've had so far!

This is how EarlyBird is improving and becoming even better every day.

#buildinpublic
Nice, the first paid EarlyBird customer came in while I was sleeping - only 10 hours after we launched the billing system, thank you so much for being the very early bird!

#buildinpublic #earlybird
I've just added a real-time user count to the EarlyBird website in order to build better in public. 😁😁😁

#buildinpublic
I spent the entire day working on the design of the feature images (to display on /features page), but since I'm not very good at design, I have no idea how are they.

I've included some of the work - any feedback, good or bad, would be much appreciated!

#buildinpublic
EarlyBird has created something special for creators/artists who are ready to launch their work on Product Hunt.

Would you be excited about driving support on the launch day and then showing social proof afterwards?

Comment πŸ™‹β€β™‚οΈif you are interested in it.

#buildinpublic
7 days following the EarlyBird launch, we had already received interest from several well-known VCs, here is the one I just got.

I am so thankful for that, it shows that we are on the right track, let's aim high or not at all.

#buildinpublic
Woo-wee! Over 500 landing pages have been put in place on @EarlyBirdIM .

Should we set a goal of 50,000 by 2023?

#buildinpublic
Oh wow! First paid customer comes even before I made a billing system.

#buildinpublic
Nothing is more rewarding than receiving an email from a satisfied user!

It's stated on our website that building a landing page would take no more than 10 minutes, yet this user was able to do it in just 5 minutes!

So shall we change the copy to 5 minutes? πŸ˜‚

#buildinpublic
An email from a Russian user.

I can't promise that we'll have Russian language support and payment options available right now, but I assure you that by 2023 both of them will be ready.

#buildinpublic
What a terrific suggestion by @frantzenrichard!

It's so helpful to have someone who can assist in improving the product. No more blindly building for me!

#buildinpublic
We made it! We hit our first milestone of 517 seed users in just 3 days. #buildinpublic

Before & after, what do you think?
