In a C4 talk a few years ago, Wil Shipley said that he's asked things like "How can I launch my app to 10,000 people on day one?". The answer is "Well, you can't."

If you haven't put the time into creating a reputation (either for yourself or for your product) and getting people excited about your next release, you aren't going to suddenly find yourself able to tap into a nonexistent audience.

What you can do is grow your reputation by creating great products and growing a community of people who are interested. Launch to a hundred people, and don't be disappointed that you're not a hit by next Tuesday. Overnight success stories are rare, and almost always backed by years of hard work. There's no secret website that you have to submit to and people will suddenly start using your product.

You'll gain users over time. At least in my experience, now is the best time for iteration. You've only got a few users, and you can actually interact with them as people, not just statistics.
