Comment on Ask HN: Where have you found your early adopters

Comments

They're the ones hacking together a solution for more expensive.

I made a health recipe app. The early adopters were using blogs and posting recipes to Facebook.

I did e-commerce. The early adopters were hiring agents to go around selling their products or paying "personal shopper" fees for friends who were at a larger city to post certain goods to them.

I made a meditation app. The early adopters hired a consultant to make sure that employees sit quietly in front of a mirror for 20 minutes and then record their emotions into a notebook.

I made a digital punch card app for lockdown. Early adopters were taking selfies when they got into work and posting it to an FB group.

I worked on a sports social media app. Early adopters were selling bicycle tires in WhatsApp groups because people didn't trust the e-commerce sites. The only way to build trust was to hang around these people and talk about bicycles.
