Veed: 3 Strategies to Land Your First 1000 Users
Our website gets one million visitors per month, and many people ask me how we got our first 1,000 users. We started with three strategies early on.
- Launch early and ship multiple times
When I first launched VEED, I felt embarrassed about the product. But that's okay — we can release it several times. Over two years, this brought us 10,000 users. (Posting repeatedly on product recommendation sites)
Go after users proactively
I answered over 100 questions about video editing on Quora.
Each answer was original and written with time. For six months, I did this almost every day.
During peak periods, Quora brought in 50 users a day — 350 per week, 1,400 per month.
Document your journey

All the things I mentioned above can be done by a founder with no marketing experience. No tricks, no audience.
There's no shortcut to growth.
