Your First Customer

I’ve been thinking about what it takes to get your first customer. If you are in a startup and you don’t have a customer, this (hopefully) keeps you up at night. So I’ve been thinking about this and writing about it and Googling and I found this article at www.onstartups.com. Even if you aren’t in the software business, I think there are some really useful tips — you should read it.

I’m going to try to add a post every day this week about getting your first customer. I’m interested in hearing how you’ve done it (or if you haven’t done it, what your challenges are) so I can add to my list of suggestions.
