Everyone romanticizes launch day. Mine gave me a spike and then silence. My first hundred real users came from something far less glamorous: answering questions in a niche community for three months, one helpful reply at a time. No pitch, just genuinely solving the problem people described, and linking my tool only when it actually fit. It compounds slowly and then all at once. People started tagging me when others asked the same question. Launch day is a firework. A channel where your customers already gather is a fire you can keep feeding. Pick one, show up every day, and be useful before you are promotional.
