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

560 points amanchanda | 1 comments | 13 May 25 08:41 UTC | HN request time: 0.434s | source

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)

Comment from `amanchanda`, i.e. the OP.

Nice hustle writing an Ask HN post to then plug your own product, but you have to make sure to respond to questions with your _other_ account `nicooo`. ;)

That was in response to someone saying:

> Find a way to make it free to start.

FWIW I looked at all the posts on this thread from `amanchanda` and `nicooo`, and didn't see any obvious reason to think they were the same person.
