Network on LinkedIn and ProductHunt worked for me.
Other options are,

- Early adopter communities on reddit, slack etc
- Startup listing directories

Reddit, Google Ads, Linkedin helped to grow first 100 customers in short span.

@nicolaas_spijker awesome, thanks for sharing!
Not for first 100,but for first 10 or 20 users, we'll be using cold emails. We are currently listing down our target clients and from there we will pitch them to try our product.
You can call it a free beta version
Invite them to use and use google ads to absorb those who love our product lol
@istiakahmad lol Of course I do google ads/facebook ads for the product page lol
personal network mainly friends, family and prof network of individuals who fit your product target persona
Messaging members of a specific reddit community to come to our product and try it out.
In our case, since we are building a meme app. I asked them:
Yoo, funny meme you posted there
Wanna come and try out a new meme app we built?
Conversion rate was between 5% to 10% depending on the message.
What I found out was that it is really important to sound human and to use everyday language.
@mihajlokovacevic This makes a lot of sense. Nobody wants to speak to a sales bot, after all.
@mihajlokovacevic thanks! Good tactic
