Hi everyone,
I’m an indie developer and I’m trying to learn how other developers got their first users without spending money on advertising.
What worked best for you?
Reddit
TikTok
Facebook Groups
Instagram
ASO (App Store Optimization)
Blogs
Word of mouth
If you were launching a new mobile app today, what would be your strategy to get your first 100 or 1,000 users?
Thanks for sharing your experience.

Hi everyone,

I’m a solo developer from Belgium.

I first built a custom mobile app for a local football club (RFCE Maurage). After that, I created two consumer apps:

• BabyToDo – an app that helps parents manage appointments, vaccines, treatments, growth tracking, checklists and more.

• PetsToDo – an app for pet owners to manage health records, appointments, vaccines, reminders and daily care.

Building the apps was challenging, but finding users has been even harder.

For those who have launched mobile apps, what helped you get your first 100 active users?

I’d love to hear your experiences and advice.
