let's say you have 3 types of users using your product, but you need to cater to one

how do you decide which user type
to focus on?

building reel.farm and farcasterstudio.com

there's 3 types of users visiting farcasterstudio.com but for different reasons/use cases

one might be trying to grow a channel, another might be growing an account with less than 1000 followers, another might be neither and they might just like looking at stats

aiming to define the exact problem farcaster studio is capable of solving

user a - channel owner
user b - small account
user c - etc

Personally I would prioritize by ability and willingness to pay for a solution.  

Early on you can figure out by asking people « would you pay x for this? » or actually asking them to pay.  Then see which one converts better.

Long run you can shore up your product thinking using more representative research if you need to.

There’s too much « it depends » here.

Aiming for revenue or adoption?  Is it actually 3 types of users or 3 types of use cases (it’s different)?  What is the change you want to be in the world?

No one can really tell you how to prioritize.  That’s your job, yeah?

this a hypothesis or you have data that shows and classifies users in these 3 categories?

Why three?

What's the connection between them?
i.e. content producer to consumer

whoever is gonna make you the most money. And whichever group you think you’ll retain better. 

more users does not equal more money

A few things. 

- Which user can you more readily reach? Or is an underserved segment? 
- Does one user type allow you to beachhead into a different type of user? 
- if B2B, what’s the LTV and CAC of each user type?

The one that there are the most of and/or is most likely to have more of in the future combined with the one that is willing to pay the most.

throw in and run some user surveys ser. there’s some great advice in the replies. user surveys might help you validate/invalidate some of your theses and guide you accordingly.

intuition is 👍 
but data+intuition is 💥

run experiments against each one until you have conviction. identifying the personas is just the beginning of the process of committing to one.

The type you're going to see using your product the most (in terms of quantity of users)

But need to also consider monetisation and cater to the most users who are going to make your project sustainable / profitable

In some cases you can cater to one that assures quicker growth without revenue to then cater to another one

But,  what is the mission of farcasterstudio?  Shouldn’t that help you focus on what to cater to?

Users that are likely to stay loyal. They can provide stable growth.
Ultimately depends on the growth approach of the company.

I would run some surveys to see which is the best target group. If you are going to factor in monetization you could run multiple polls to narrow it down.

The one that generates the largest percentage of the profit.

This highly depends on what your funding situation is. If what you need is money, cater to the users who’ll give you money

If money right now isn’t critical, then you go figure out which (or if!) one of the three user types frigging *love* your product right now, and then you cater to them
