The actual places your first customers are: named, not “do content marketing.”
Most advice on getting customers is uselessly vague. This names the specific places your buyers actually are: the real communities, marketplaces and searches, plus the concrete move to make in each. Describe your business and find out where to go today.
“Use social media” isn’t a plan. The valuable answer is specific: which exact communities, directories and marketplaces your buyer already uses, and what to do there to get toward a first sale.
This names the places and the move for each, plus the exact searches you can run today to find buyers asking about your problem right now. It’s a fast, honest starting map, not generic channel advice.
The full Kasspian read goes deeper: the verified live threads where your buyers are posting right now, the niche communities, and the specific companies to reach, each backed by a real, current source.

Questions
3 answered1
How do I find my first customers?
Start where your specific buyer already gathers, not on “social media” in general. Name the exact communities, marketplaces and search terms your buyer uses, show up with genuine value, and make a direct ask toward a sale or pre-sale. This tool gives you those specific places for your business, free.
2
Where can I find customers for my startup?
In the specific places your buyer already spends time: niche communities and subreddits, the directories and marketplaces they search, and the threads where they ask about your problem. The generic channels (“ads”, “content”) come later; the first ten customers come from going where they already are.

Is this tool free?
