... exactly 14 days (28. 1.) we will launch the product, and the only thing I do is talk about it.

... curious how people actually do it. There are tons of stories about founders launching SaaS products without an existing audience. No Twitter following, no newsletter, no community, nothing. Yet some still manage to get early traction and even hit real MRR. If you have started from zero, I would love to hear: How you got your first users What channels brought the earliest traction Whether cold outreach works or not If content played a role or if you focused mainly ... ... definitely the thing I wish I did first time around, and it s what I m focusing on now.
