I am building a B2C AI SaaS with $50/month price. How would you go about getting with first 100 users and then the next 500 users.

What we are currently doing: 1) Cold outreach to power users - to convert them into affiliates. 2) Cold outreach to individuals who have target ICP communities. 3) SEO for more long term (not for the first 500)

My project is bitecritic.com, and its free. I try multiple stuff and in 2 months there are only 60 users.

Producthunt, tinystartups -> garbage, no value, no users Reddit -> Mods block you on many topics, no signups from there

Tiktok -> AI generated video 1000 views. Tiktok Ads -> 2k views per video 3 euros -> 5 signups Instagram -> Most of the users are coming from here. Friends and Family -> My real users :D

Ask HN: How are you acquiring your first hundred users?
