How to get 100 REAL mobile app users in 24 hours
Hey there,
Are you sitting at 10 users, wondering how to get to 100?
You're thinking about TikTok strategy. Paid ads. Influencer outreach. Content calendars.
Stop.
You're overthinking it.
Go on Reddit. Just Reddit.
There are subreddits with hundreds of thousands of founders and early adopters who want to try new products. r/SideProject has 343K members. r/SaaS has 300K. r/alphandroid has millions.
Post in either of these subreddits and get your first 50-100 REAL users.
That's more valuable than 10,000 bot downloads.
But don’t make the number one founder mistake:
Don’t spam your app link and wonder why you get ignored.
Reddit hates spam. But Reddit loves authentic founders sharing their journey.
Don't post "Check out my app."
Post your story.
Why you built it.
What problem you're solving.
What you're struggling with.
Be real. Be helpful. Engage in the comments. The community will respect that and actually try your product.
Do this in the next hour: Find 3 subreddits where your target users hang out. Write a genuine post about why you built your app.
You'll get your first 50-100 users by tomorrow.
Peace,
Steven
