I have forgotten what it feels like to score a century. I acquired 200,000 users for edocr.com single-handedly but it took many years, from 2007 to 2015.

But this time, all our user acquisition is by Mithun and the Volunteer team, with our superstar Volunteer Godwin.

Our volunteer user acquisition team is now 5 strong and we want to ramp up to 10+. One of the volunteers is using her sister’s phone to volunteer, as her own phone is broken. Remarkable volunteer stories, we encounter in our journey! I hope to have a trust one day to help some of them, but first, we need to grow.

It feels like we are on the cusp of scoring our first century today. All I seem to be doing is refreshing the screen.

So far today, 73 new Volunteer sign ups. The previous best was on Tuesday with 81. Prior to that, it was 74 on the 6th of Jan. And not to forget, it took us 176 days to acquire the first 100.

So, if you are struggling with user acquisition, don’t forget that it was extremely hard for us at the beginning as well. It’s easier now thanks to our own Volunteers.

If you want to achieve similar results and can afford £300/year or £30/month (for pre-revenue and pre-investment tech startups), we can help you as well.
