Nick Launches

How are you guys actually getting your first users after launch?

I've noticed that building the product is often easier than getting people to actually discover it.

I'm trying to figure out a repeatable distribution process rather than just posting on X once and hoping something happens.

A few things I'm experimenting with:

• Product directories / launch platforms
• Writing useful content around the problem I'm solving
• Finding existing communities where potential users already hang out
• Asking early users for feedback instead of immediately pushing for sales

I recently came across Nick Launches, which is interesting because it's focused specifically on helping builders launch and get discovered. They also have some free tools/resources around finding first users and distribution.

Curious what has actually worked for other people here.

What's been your most reliable source of your first 10–50 users?
