Trust is easier to earn in person. If your app serves a community, a trade or a city, the places those people gather are some of the best places to find your first users.
Go where your people already gather
Good places to start:
- Community and cultural events.
- Markets, fairs and festivals.
- Trade and small business meetups.
- Faith and community centre gatherings, with permission.
Help, don't just pitch
Offer to help people with a real money problem on the spot, like showing the cost of sending money home. People remember the person who helped them.
Try it
Name your platform and watch it come to life
Type a name, tap a colour and pick what it does. The phone changes as you go.
Colour
What it does
Design and preview your whole platform free, then launch when you are ready.
Make signing up easy there and then
Have a short link or a code people can scan on their phone, and be ready to walk them through signing up. Follow up the next day.
Offer to speak
Many events welcome a short talk on a useful topic, like avoiding hidden fees. A helpful talk builds trust with a whole room at once.
Keep your promises honest
Only say what your app really does and who provides the accounts behind it. Never promise returns or quick riches.
