How did you build an audience when you had nothing to show yet?

Something's been stuck in my head and I'd love to hear from people who've actually been through it.

Even if you can build something really cool, but if no one sees it, no one uses it. So you need an audience.

Everyone says, "Build an audience before you launch."

But if you're just starting out... how do you actually do that?

If I tell people I'm building a startup, why would they care? There are thousands—probably millions—of people building something. At that stage, your only USP is that you're building, but so is everyone else.

So I'm curious about the founders here who managed to make it work.

How did you get your first audience?
