How to Get Your First 100 Users

The first users usually come from direct effort, not paid ads. Reach out personally and learn from every conversation.

Start with communities, LinkedIn, email outreach, founder groups, local businesses, and people already searching for the problem.

Offer help before asking for anything. Share useful content, templates, checklists, and examples.

Your first 100 users should teach you what to build next, what to remove, and what people are willing to pay for.
