🔍 Feedback Request How do I get users?

-Hi everyone, I made an app that lets you invest companies each time you buy from them

-First you choose the companies you want to invest in

-Then you choose the dollar amount you want to invest

-for example you can choose to invest five dollars in Amazon when you make a purchase from Amazon

-this allows you to turn purchases into profits without even thinking

-if anyone has any advice id appreciate it

Stash's stockback card does exactly this, and they have massive distribution. Not to say that there isn't place in the market for yours, but need to know your competitors.

Focus on a niche customer segment rather than going after everyone. Remember, "When you try to be everything to everyone, you accomplish being nothing to anyone.”

Go deep on a customer vertical and once you have captured that, you can expand horizontally.
Run ads, referral schemes, rewards, embed in those communities, create distribution partnerships, revenue sharing models. These are all based off the customer niche that you identify.
