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)

Since my App is targeted at developers building on Google Cloud, I focused on

1) Answering questions on Stackoverflow.

    - A few users clicked on the profile and went to our home page

    - A few of my responses involved a link to post on our blog (only did this where it was absolutely necessary)
2) Answering questions on Google Cloud reddit channel and Google Cloud Community (forum)
