Onboarding Walkthrough

After signing up, you'll go through a quick onboarding to set up your first project.

Step 1: Create Your First Project

A project represents one product or business you want to find leads for.

Enter:

  • Product name — What's it called?
  • Description — What does it do? What problem does it solve?
  • Target audience — Who is your ideal customer?

Step 2: Add Keywords

Keywords are the phrases StackLead looks for across platforms.

Think about:

  • What would someone search for if they needed your product?
  • What problems does your product solve?
  • What are your competitors called?

Good keyword examples:

  • "looking for a CRM"
  • "best project management tool"
  • "alternative to Notion"
  • "need help with social media scheduling"

StackLead's AI can also suggest keywords based on your product description. Click "Generate Keywords" to try it.

Step 3: Select Platforms

Choose where you want to find leads:

  • Reddit — Great for niche communities and detailed discussions
  • Hacker News — Perfect for dev tools, SaaS, and tech products
  • Twitter/X — Real-time conversations and complaints
  • Indie Hackers — Founders helping founders

Start with 1-2 platforms and expand as you get comfortable.
