Thoughts on how to market an mvp. Many of our members wonder how to market their new projects. Does your marketing strategy change in the 1-10 person range? how about 10-1000, and what about for 1000+ ?

The group’s consensus is that you should probably use free techniques in the sub <1000 user stage. At this stage you are still identifying what your core champions are and how to refine the messaging to convert them.

Presumably post 1000+ users you may have figured out the messaging formula. You might then start pumping ad dollars on google and facebook. You should calculate your Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC) and Lifetime Value (LTV) and shift focus to roi performance marketing.
