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

I’ve had success twice using targeted social media outreach — specifically by joining relevant subreddit discussions and commenting on YouTube videos where my target audience was already active.

Instead of simply promoting your service right away (it often feels spammy), I recommend genuinely engaging in conversations until the right opportunity comes up.

I ended up turning that process into its own product: https://sparkflow.ai/

This seems like that sort of marketing where the OP creates a question for himself to answer from another account.

I was not involved in the original comment. But maybe I should expand my product to build this ;)
