First 1,000 Users — guides to your first users
First 1,000 Users is a free map of short, practical guides on how founders get their first users. The 25 guides are laid out by stage: idea and validation, waitlist, private beta, launch, first 100 users and first 1,000 users, so you only read what matters for where you are now.
Every tactic is rated for fit by product type: web app or SaaS, mobile app, browser extension, developer tool, AI tool, open source, marketplace, newsletter or game. Each guide covers what to do, why it works, how it gets users, common mistakes, and what it costs in time, money and accounts.
It is built for indie makers, solo developers and small teams. Topics range from problem interviews and waitlist referrals to Product Hunt, Reddit launch posts, directory submissions, cold outreach and early SEO. No account, no email wall.
