Ask HN: How did you acquire your first 100 users?
Nice question. I am just wondering if anyone will disclose their current killer acquisition hacks. Moreover, the question heavily depends on your business, so is it B2B, B2C, online, app, bot, etc.?<p>However, a good read on this which tackles all ways of user acquisition&#x2F;Marketing is &#x27;Traction&#x27; from the DuckDuckGo founder. It&#x27;s not an exciting book but gives an ok overview.<p>You could also just start with the channel which seems most obvious, set up analytics from day one and iterate over and over. With this approach you should get a good feeling if your acquisition strategy works and if yes you should optimize. Otherwise move on to the next channel.<p>Edit: When you search for Traction on Amazon.com there&#x27;s also another one on #1 (good Amazon search hack from another other author btw) which is not the mentioned book (the one I mean is blue-ish)
