The first 100 users is often the first big milestone when it comes to user acquisition. I've seen countless blogs, articles and of course Twitter threads about it, how did you get yours?
It is hard and even harder to get to 100 paying customers/subscribers. Trying to get into conversation with your audience on Twitter, Reddit, Slack or Discord is the way for us.
@lukas_soukup1 Hi Lukaš, that is a great point. Would be interesting to hear if you create your own groups and communities our use already existing ones?
@erik_hudak_billdu Right now we are not building our own communities like Reddit/Discord/Facebook or Slack, but I think about it. However, we are active on Twitter (https://twitter.com/sumioapp) and think about starting a blog.
Forget about your first 100 users, work very closely with your first 10 users, and iterate. It's better to build a product that your first 10 users LOVE, rather than 100 users that like your product. From your first 10 users, you can then identify what keeps them using, and what they like/dislike.
Other things that worked:
1. Launched waitlist to build email list
2. Launch on online communities like Facebook groups and Reddit threads. Reddit seemed to work better for us, but you'll have to launch strategically as you may get banned. Tons of resources out there but here's one to start off with: https://artplusmarketing.com/how...
Discord and discord bot/server listing websites. once it started being added to some servers and being used, other users in those servers seen it functioning and had an interest in it.
@richw Hello Rich, this sounds very interesting... could you add bit more details about this? how exactly did you use those websites and how did you find them?
Thanks
@erik_hudak_billdu Yeah so for example one of the biggest DIscord server listing sites is Disboard.org- where you can list your Discord server and a description and people can leave reviews on it and join it. When you're listed on this wbesite and have a good description, their SEO works great and is like the #1 result on Google. Here's an example of it;
There is another website Top.gg who had a successful launch here, where you can list your Discord server and/or Discord bot, people can vote on it, leave reviews, etc. They a #1 result on google as well when it comes to Discord bots.
There is a handful of others similar to these where you just list your server or bot with a description, add images, info, etc. And can "bump" it every few hours so it's shown on the front page if the categories it's listed under.
This is how a lot of Discord servers first start out and gorw their user count
Not easy, but few things that worked for us
1. Launched early access to build email list
2. Started promoting and communicating in relevant communities
3. Special offer for early adopters and working closely with them. Word of mouth begins from there
Good luck. Would be happy to brainstorm for your specific use case :)

Not there yet, but I think cold emails are working good. You've to spend a lot of time prospecting your target customers though.
