How do you actually get people to do customer discovery interviews?
Indie Hackers Free Beginner
This is founders trading real tactics on the exact wall you will hit: getting strangers to say yes to a call. You get honest, unpolished answers about which cold messages worked, which communities responded, and how people framed the ask. Useful precisely because it is not theory, it is what worked for people at your stage.
- Name the problem clearly and people who feel it will often talk to you
- Go to the communities where your users already gather, do not cold-blast
- Make the ask small and specific, not a vague request for their time
