The simplest customer acquisition funnel: write content every day, send that audience to a waitlist landing page, and collect emails. Those subscribers already trust you and know the pain they want solved — that's why they become your first 100 customers.
Daily content drives traffic to a waitlist landing page; those email subscribers become your first 100 customers because they already trust you and want to solve the pain you address.
The entire go-to-market funnel is described as: write content daily → push audience to waitlist → collect emails → convert to customers. No paid ads required.
