Building is super cheap now but standing out among all AI noise has become so hard. I am seeing barely any response to my email and LinkedIn messages. These are not generic messages. They are personalized.

I am hearing similar stories from people I know. May be it is my network bias. I am building following on LinkedIn but I honestly hate it. I hate the facade of putting of expert hat and writing in stupid one sentence per line style.

The bar for customer acquisition is so high right now.

What can I do to get first 10 customers?

Please suggest for someone who don’t have much of a network.
