Hey everyone,

I started planning to start my design subscription business 4-5 months ago. The preparation and launching took me almost 3 months.

What methods I tried

Then I started digging to acquire clients. I tried posting on Linkedin, X, Facebook Page, Reddit, Indie Hackers, Hackernews and some other platforms.

I am also trying FB boosting, Dribbble boosting, and X ads. I tried cold emailing too, but this needs another level of expertise, I think in the future I might hire people to do cold emailing.

Wait I forgot to share my website, here it is 👉 Pentaclay

What methods I might try next

I'll try influencer marketing, shoutouts, and paid featured on various websites in the near future. Maybe after getting 2 more clients. This will help me gain some cash to run these.

How I got my first client

Two months ago a prospect messaged me on LinkedIn. I convinced him to jump into a call, I hadn't released my design subscription website yet.

After two months of back-and-forth communication, and cold follow-ups, finally he subscribed for a 15-day trial subscription for $1090. That's a clear win for me.

I know taking this long to land a client won't be feasible for this business, but for starting or for may be first 5 clients I need to dig this way.

Let me know your thoughts 👇 Thanks.

Thank you.

Even if you have one project, you can subscribe to any subscription-based businesses. Like I do provide the option to pause your subscription anytime.

Like you have one project only, after 8 days of subscription the project is completed, we can pause your subscription, so when you have more projects may be after 6 months, you can reach to me and start claiming the remaining 22 days. ❤️
