How to get your first 100 users (even if you suck at marketing)

You don’t need to be a genius. You just need to be relentless.

Here’s the no-BS way to get your first 100 users:

Launch everywhere. Product Hunt, DevHunt, BetaList, Peerlist, AppSumo, Indie Hackers, Dailypings, etc. If it allows you to list your product—LIST IT.
Post on socials like your life depends on it. One post won’t do sh*t. Do it 100 days in a row. Copy what went viral. Tweak. Repeat.
Stalk your competitors. See where they’re listed. Submit your product there. Manually. Or use a tool. Just do it.
AI + SEO = free traffic. Spin up blog posts with ChatGPT. 50 solid ones can move mountains. Get that domain rating to 15+.
Run some damn ads. X, Google, Facebook... even Bing. Optimize it once, then let it run.
Cold DMs / replies. Find your people. Be short. Be real. Be helpful. 1 sentence pitch. No spam.

This is how the internet is won. No secret. Just consistent, boring work. And boom—100 users. Then 1000

Crisp plan of attack.
I don't agree on running ads without having found some leads first.
Here's a tutorial for a free tool you could use to automate the sourcing of them
