Title: Question for techies who started a web business with a subscription revenue model:  How did you get your first customer?<p>I'm asking because I'm a typical shy coder: cranking out truckloads of Python code is not a problem, but socializing and having a big network of business contacts is. I'm still grooving on David Heinemeier Hansson's speech at Startup School, and I want to go the subscription route.  And I believe that nothing will drive the evolution of a site better than having customers.  How to get those early customers, though, looks right now to be a dark mystery.  How have other techie folks overcome this problem and gotten those first few customers?
