What actually got you your first paid users?

I launched my product a little while back. Did the Product Hunt thing, posted in every relevant community I could find. Got some nice words, decent traffic, a handful of signups.

But still zero paid users.

I don't want the standard advice. I've heard it all.

What I want to know is what actually worked for you. The weird stuff. The thing you'd never put in a LinkedIn post. Did you DM 200 strangers? Give away free access and then upsell? Did someone just randomly tweet about you and that was it?

I'm genuinely in the trenches right now. Tell me what your first breakthrough looked like.

I built an AI bookkeeper for people who hate accounting software

Been freelancing for a while and got tired of fighting with QuickBooks just to send an invoice or log an expense. Felt like every accounting tool out there was built for accountants, not for people who actually run businesses.

So I built Flowbooks. With flowbooks, instead of clicking through forms and menus, you can just chat with an ai bot and it handles everything for you.

You can try it out at flowbooksai.com, there's a free tier if you just want to poke around.

(Founder here, happy to answer anything about the build, or listen to any advice!)
