How to get your first 100 users after launching a SaaS👇

Start by getting your product in front of people who already discover software:

🚀 Product Hunt — DR 91 | 4.2M traffic
⭐ G2 — DR 91 | 2.3M
📊 Capterra — DR 91 | 1.9M
🔎 AlternativeTo — DR 80 | 2M
💻 SaaSHub — DR 80 | 395K
👥 Indie Hackers — DR 81 | 755K
🧑‍💻 Peerlist — DR 77 | 453K
🚀 Uneed — DR 75 | 141K

Then build organic acquisition:

→ Competitor alternative pages
→ Comparison pages
→ Use-case landing pages
→ Helpful blog content
→ Free tools with real search demand
→ Founder-led content on X
→ Relevant community participation

Don’t wait for one channel to magically work.

Your first 100 users usually come from multiple small distribution channels working together.

@akfullstack Absolutely 🙌 Always happy to connect with fellow builders and devs.

What are you working on right now?

[Adnan @ SaaSLyft @addy_seo]

Founders, what’s harder right now?

Building the product

or

Getting people to actually discover it?

For me, distribution is usually the harder problem.

Curious what stage you’re at 👇

For me, the first pages that started turning rankings into conversions were the ones closest to buying intent, including comparison, alternative, and use-case pages, and tool pages.

They usually convert much better than broad informational content because the visitor is already looking for a solution.

[Adnan @ SaaSLyft @addy_seo]

@JespernissenSEO I second that. These are often neglected, but they are an important part of a backlink strategy to get listed on credible platforms.

[Adnan @ SaaSLyft @addy_seo]

Usually around 3–6 months before organic starts becoming consistent, depending on the niche and competition.

What helps most: proper competitor analysis, building useful pages around the product, targeting high-intent queries, and earning relevant mentions/backlinks.

That gradually builds authority and turns rankings into signups.

I tested a few LLM seeding tactics to increase brand mentions in ChatGPT, AI Overviews & Perplexity.

These are the ones worth focusing on 👇

→ Get featured in “best X” listicles
→ Build profiles on G2, Trustpilot & review sites
→ List your brand on relevant directories
→ Strengthen your LinkedIn presence
→ Contribute expert quotes to publications
→ Publish content beyond your own website
→ Join relevant Reddit discussions
→ Earn mentions from trusted publications
→ Appear on niche podcasts
→ Work with relevant YouTube creators
→ Keep brand information consistent everywhere

Big lesson:
AI visibility isn’t only about your website.

You need brand mentions across the wider web.

@i_mika_el I am doing SEO for my SaaS products to grow organically in search results. It takes time, but it's worth it and works in the long term.

[Adnan @ SaaSLyft @addy_seo]

@marclou @jonathan_wilke What's your take on .lol sites? Do they provide any value to startups?

[Adnan @ SaaSLyft @addy_seo]

@HsanC_ Amazing! Congrats.

[Adnan @ SaaSLyft @addy_seo]

@malakhovdm That’s actually a good problem to have 😄

What did you automate distribution with?

Curious whether it’s mostly scheduling/content repurposing or if the agent is also handling replies and engagement.

[Adnan @ SaaSLyft @addy_seo]

@jonathan_wilke Glad you pointed it out! They are just taking advantage of the hype.

[Adnan @ SaaSLyft @addy_seo]

@yesadok That’s interesting; growth and distribution are honestly the hardest parts for a lot of SaaS teams.

With Claude, ChatGPT, or Cursor, you can literally build a SaaS in a weekend.

The hard part?

Getting people to discover and try it.

If I launched a SaaS today, I’d focus on distribution from day 1:

→ Share the build on X
→ Launch on Product Hunt + relevant directories
→ Create comparison & use-case pages
→ Build 1 useful free tool for SEO
→ Join niche communities
→ Reach out to potential users directly
→ Collect feedback + testimonials early
→ Double down on the channel that starts working

Building is faster than ever.

Distribution is still the moat.

Founders 👋

What’s the ONE skill, strategy, or thing that helped you get your first paying customer?

Was it:

→ Cold outreach
→ SEO
→ X / social media
→ Your network
→ Product Hunt
→ Communities
→ Pure luck 😅

Share what actually worked for you 👇

It might help someone still looking for customer #1.

[Adnan @ SaaSLyft @addy_seo]

Don’t depend on one platform for traffic.

Google can change.
X can change.
Reddit can change.
AI search can change.

Build multiple discovery channels:

→ SEO
→ Bing
→ AI search
→ Communities
→ Referral sites
→ Directories
→ Email

Diversification isn’t optional anymore.

It’s risk management for growth.

Website owners: don’t ignore Bing 👀

This site has already generated:

→ 73.4K impressions
→ 146 clicks

If you’re doing SEO for Google, also:

✅ Set up Bing Webmaster Tools
✅ Submit your sitemap
✅ Check indexing
✅ Optimize queries already getting impressions

You’re creating the content anyway.
Make sure Bing can find it too. 📈
