How did you get your first 100 users?

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?

Mostly through direct contact and personal network. A few through speaking in Agile HR events but currently those are our best channel. For my next products I'm looking into Twitter and communities on Reddit or Discord...
Love these questions. Never get a real answer or help just one liners or sign up here
I'm flat-out bribing my first 15 users today. Wanna know if it works out?
Trying to achieve this milestone but it is pretty tasking. But i would share you a tip that i noticed. Valuable contents are the key to achieve this. Before i subscribed to do anything, the content triggered it. Am always glued to my mail and i don't like missing updates. Valuable contents would do the call to action.
I started a podcast and then launched an email newsletter on Substack. I was able to launch to those subscribers. I also spent time building a community on LinkedIn.
In my case, it was pure SEO. Of course, I tried other things before that, like spamming my friends a few times a day, lol. That just doesn't work.
We were reaching people directly with whom we had relationships already. Now testing number of sources, focusing on 2 main per month: 1. Traffic on website from writing content 2. Product Hunt launch 2. Helping people on Reddit, Quora 3. Linkedin posts 4. Referrals 5. Ads on Google Anything you suggest in particular if we target marketers and products mainly. Our service help to build no code flows to convert more leads.
Using Facebook Lead Ads turned out to be a wise decision. Having linked my Facebook ad account and iCloud Mail account , I created an integration to automatically send emails to new leads from Facebook and Instagram. I still use this method and it works well.
Honestly, just forcing my friends and family onto the product.
hahaha, you know nice people!
I began to publish my product on Twitter periodically and on some pages where products are listed, and organically they began to use it.
