HOW TO GET YOUR FIRST 100 PAYING USERS WITH ZERO AD SPEND

i've done this multiple times now in less than 2 weeks with $0 to my name.

here's the exact playbook:

1\ reddit is your best growth channel and nobody uses it right

posts:

> YOU DON'T NEED AN AUDIENCE TO GET HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS OF VIEWS.

> don't post "hey check out my product" in subreddits. you'll get banned instantly

> instead write genuinely useful posts that solve a problem your target customer has

> make 80% of the post pure value. mention your product between the first and last paragraph with at least 2 additional links in the post

> formats that work: "i built X and here's what i learned", "here's how to solve [problem] step by step", "i analyzed [data] and here's what i found"

> post these in 3-5 subreddits where your customers hang out.

comments:

> search for threads where people are actively complaining about the problem you solve

> type "[competitor name] sucks" or "looking for [tool type]" or "frustrated with [problem]" in the subreddit search bar

> these people are warm leads

>dm them instantly. answer their question. mention your product naturally at the end of the convo

> do this every single day. 10-15 DMs per day. not copy pasted. each one specific to the thread

> this converts at 30-40% because they already told you they have the problem

> follow up 3 days later and ask how it's going

build your own subreddit:

> create a subreddit for your niche (not your product name. the problem space)

> post valuable content there consistently

> invite people from other subreddits who are interested in the topic

> this becomes your owned community that you control. no algorithm changes. no bans

> cross-post your best content from the subreddit to other relevant subs to drive members back

this alone drove my first 300+ users for beta

2\ twitter + linkedin content recycling

> take every reddit post that performed well and turn it into a twitter thread (because on reddit YOU DON'T NEED AN AUDIENCE)

> take every twitter thread that performed well and turn it into a linkedin post

> take every linkedin post that performed well and turn it into a short form video script

> one piece of content becomes 4 pieces across 4 platforms

> post on twitter 3-5x per day. linkedin 1x per day

> the formats that work: "i built X and here's what happened", "here's what nobody tells you about [niche]", "this guy did [cool thing]" with a screenshot

> reply to big accounts in your niche. don't pitch. just add something useful to the conversation. this gets you followers faster than posting

> screenshot interesting reddit threads and post them with your take. this is the highest engagement format on twitter right now

3\ negative reviews (the greatest underrated strategy OAT)

> go to g2, capterra, trustpilot right now

> search for every competitor in your space

> read every 1-star and 2-star review

> screenshot the ones where people describe the exact problem your product solves

> these reviewers are your first customers. they already pay for a competitor. they already hate it. they already told you what they want

> type in their name and DM them on linkedin or twitter. don't pitch. just say "saw your review about [competitor]. curious what you ended up switching to?"

> half the time they'll ask what you're building. now you have a conversation not a cold pitch

4\ build comparison and alternative pages before anything else

> create pages on your site for "[competitor] alternative" and "[your product] vs [competitor]"

> these rank fast on google because people actively search for them before buying

> write honest comparisons. don't trash the competitor. just show where you're different

> include pricing breakdowns, feature tables, and screenshots

> update these monthly with fresh data

> this is the highest ROI SEO you can do because every visitor has buying intent

5\ write the most boring blog posts imaginable

> find the exact questions your target customers are googling

> use tools like answerthepublic or just type your niche into google and look at "people also ask"

> write long-form posts answering those questions in detail

> examples: "how to fix [specific problem]" or "best way to [workflow your product helps with]"

> these posts are boring to write but they compound. one post per week for 6 months and you'll have a traffic machine

> don't mention your product until the last paragraph. the post should be genuinely useful on its own

> this is good for compounding SEO

6\ cold DM people who just posted about the problem you solve

> set up google alerts for keywords related to your niche

> monitor twitter/X for people tweeting complaints about competitors

> when someone tweets "ugh [competitor] just lost all my data" or "anyone know a good [tool type]?" reply within minutes

> speed matters here. the first helpful reply wins

> don't send a link. start a convo. ask what they need. then offer to show them your product

> if people actually have this problem they will 100% be interested. just don't be a bot

7\ join 5-10 communities where your customers already hang out

> slack groups, discord servers, facebook groups, indie hacker communities, niche forums EVEN whatsapp groups.

> don't join and immediately promote. lurk for 2 weeks first

> answer questions. help people. become a known name

> after 2-3 days of being helpful, mention what you're building when it's relevant

> one good slack community can drive 20-30 users on its own. most have spaces where you can share your startup too

8\ create a free tool that solves one tiny problem in your niche

> this is the move nobody does because it feels like giving away value

> build a small free tool related to your main product. calculator, checker, analyzer, template

> put it on your website. make it genuinely useful with zero signup required

> people find it through google, use it, and discover your main product

> this builds trust faster

9\ the "reverse cold email" that actually gets replies

> find companies or people who match your ideal customer profile

> don't email them about your product

> email them with something useful: a tip about their website, a competitor insight, a resource they'd find valuable

> BUT make it so that you give them value after they respond.

> after a follow up you send "btw i'm building [one line about your product]. happy to show you if it's relevant"

> response rates go from 2% to 15-20% because you led with POTENTIAL value not a pitch (remember, you're going to send the value after they respond)

10\ launch on product hunt/directories but don't rely on it

> product hunt gives you a spike not a strategy

> the real value isn't the launch day traffic. it's the backlink and the social proof badge

> prepare your community beforehand so you have upvotes ready on launch day

> use the momentum to get press, get into newsletters, and fuel your other channels

> most product hunt traffic churns in 48 hours. the brand signal lasts forever

11\ do things that don't scale. literally

> manually onboard every single early user with ademo

> send them a personal welcome email from your real email address

> ask what they're trying to do. help them set it up

> follow up 3 days later and ask how it's going

> these users become your evangelists. they tell friends. they leave reviews. they post about you

> your first 100 users should feel like they know you personally

12\ post every single day on twitter

> failures, losses, wins, lessons. all of it. raw and unfiltered

> "i tried XYZ today and it completely failed. here's what i learned"

> "just hit $500 MRR. took me 4 months. here's what actually moved the needle"

> "lost my first paying user today. asked them why. their answer changed how i think about onboarding"

> PUT YOUR FACE ON EVERYTHING. profile pic, videos, screenshots with your face in the corner. people trust people not logos

> nobody wants to follow a faceless SaaS account or some AI account. they want to follow the person behind it

> build in public is not a strategy. it's THE strategy. the audience you build while building the product becomes the distribution for the product

> consistency beats quality. a mid post every day beats a perfect post once a week

the pattern across all of these:

> go where your customers already are

> be helpful before you pitch

> lead with value not links

> do it every single day for 1 month instead of vibe coding another project

the people who do this get to 100 paying users. the people who skip it and run ads at $0 MRR burn money and wonder why nobody converts

start today. pick 3 of these. do them for a month or even a week if you post more. you'll have your 100 users

@alc2022 Are u buying some NVO?

[Dr. Marty Makary @DrMakaryFDA]

Glad to see HIMS will stop advertising unapproved compounded drugs and instead sell FDA-approved products through its new partnership with Novo Nordisk. Importantly, they will keep them affordable (no increase in price) and limit compounded GLP-1s for rare (FDA compliant) cases.

I’d like to congratulate both parties on this deal following our recent action. Also glad to hear Novo will withdraw its lawsuit against HIMS. A win for the American people, whom president Trump has charged us with putting first. 🇺🇸

[andrewdudum @AndrewDudum]

We founded Hims & Hers to help more people feel great. To disrupt a broken healthcare system and create a new model of health where innovators work together to deliver access to care that actually serves everyday people.

We align how we operate with where we see major growth opportunities and in a way that allows us to meet our customers where they are (and where they want to go). That’s why, later this month, Hims & Hers customers will have access to FDA-approved medications from @novonordisk as a part of a strategic collaboration.

The weight loss landscape is completely different today than it was when we first entered the category. FDA-approved GLP-1 treatments are now more accessible, with greater affordability and more flexible dosing options and form factors. These market changes are shifting consumer demand towards these branded medications.

We’re moving our model forward another step with this strategic shift in our US weight loss business. This evolution will make us the largest global consumer health platform providing access to more affordable, approved medications.

We will continue to innovate across our platform, keeping what’s best for consumers as our North Star. There's challenging, important work in front of us, and I've never been more excited about the path ahead. Just like we always do, Hims & Hers will rise to meet the moment.
