If you have 20-50 users on your app, congrats. That's a classroom full of people using something you built. That's not nothing. That's everything.

@StevenCravotta Having 50 users that pay $10 every month to use an app you built. That’s $500/mo. It can never be small

@StevenCravotta there are people who doesn’t haha up to 10 users on their app. 20-50 users is progress, you can scale up from there

@StevenCravotta love this perspective! those first users are everything for an app

@StevenCravotta facts, we tend these days to look for big numbers in everything… and we forget that each number added is an actual human with a life and personality.

@StevenCravotta I think it’s cool just to even have 1 person who uses something I built besides myself. We all want the next big thing but we need to remember where it all starts and be grateful for those times.

@StevenCravotta Imagine if all are paying users. totally worth it

@StevenCravotta Getting a single user other than your other phone is a BIG deal

@StevenCravotta People underestimate how big that actually is. That’s real humans choosing to use something you built.

@StevenCravotta true. even 20 users means the idea is actually validated

@StevenCravotta This is a great reminder: when you picture real people in a room choosing to use what you made, online numbers don't seem so big.

@StevenCravotta Now imagine if those users are also paying for whatever you're offering, then you really made it, tbh.

@StevenCravotta I think it’s important to fairly evaluate, often times we try to compare against the most visible thing rather than the population or against ourselves 3 months ago.

@StevenCravotta Twenty real users beat ten thousand imaginary ones.

@StevenCravotta 20 users who love it beats 2000 who barely remember signing up. Every time.

@StevenCravotta 9 users this morning. Still feels like everything.

@StevenCravotta Yeah, this means there are people who love what have you done)

@StevenCravotta this reframe hits hard. 30 people choosing to open your app every day is insane if you think about it. most people can't get 30 people to show up to a party

@StevenCravotta Needed to hear this. I keep comparing myself to people doing 10K MRR and forgetting that real humans chose to use what I made. Even a handful of paying customers is validation most ideas never get.

@StevenCravotta honestly 30 random strangers trusting your janky code feels like sorcery...

@StevenCravotta I agree any users on your app right now are like a blessing because getting users and then retaining them is one of the most difficult things to do.

@StevenCravotta It's important to change our perspective, otherwise we slowly fall into despair

@StevenCravotta counting the small wins is the best way to hit big wins

It’s time to dance! Get it on tournament action with Bonus Bets from FanDuel.

@StevenCravotta That’s more than just validation. It’s proof that you have built something which is of so much worth to others.

@StevenCravotta agree. that's room of validators and help and support you grow

@StevenCravotta Many successful products began with just a handful of users who truly cared.

@StevenCravotta Numbers make everything feel so much smaller, don’t they?

@StevenCravotta If everyone using , everyone staying , that’s pretty good progress definitely

@StevenCravotta Such a good way to look at it, numbers feel different when you picture real people

@StevenCravotta Yea that's a wild number, any tips on how to attract them ?

@StevenCravotta So true. I am still struggling for 1 subscriber ☠️

@StevenCravotta and thats enough to get you started honestly

Full guide for startup builders

@StevenCravotta most people quit before even getting 10 users tbh

@StevenCravotta People underestimate how loud 30 real users are That not traction Thats validation

@StevenCravotta Live that joy and more follows…:):) We realised how much 100 readers on our platform meant and we celebrated! Today we celebrate 10s of 1000s! There’s always more to come but we should never forget to celebrate the steps of ladder 🪜

@StevenCravotta i have 16 testers on mine right now. zero revenue. and honestly? every single one of them choosing to open the app and use it feels like magic. these aren't vanity metrics -- they're real people who said "yeah, i'll trust this thing you built." that means everything.

@StevenCravotta those 20-50 users are also your best researchers. they'll tell you things about your product no one else will. we got our clearest product insight ever from a 15 min call with user number 11. that convo changed our whole roadmap
