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)

Built Taskade by solving my own workflow pain points, need for structured note taking, and our team being remote, fully distributed. Launched on Product Hunt, joined niche subreddits/communities, responded to feedback fast, and kept shipping + relaunching.

First 100 users came from showing up where early adopters hang out essentially.
