Growing Your Community - Getting Your First 100 Users

Reaching your first 100 users is a key milestone. It’s not about scale yet — it’s about building an engaged, high-quality community.

This guide shows you how to acquire your first users efficiently using the strengths of your app and its superapp distribution model.

1. Start with People You Already Know

Your first users should come from your existing network.

Best sources:

• Members, clients, or students
• Event participants
• Colleagues or partners
• Personal network

👉 Don’t start from zero — start from trust.

2. Use the Direct Link as Your Main Tool

Your link / QR code is the fastest way to onboard users.

Share it through:

• WhatsApp messages
• Emails
• Community groups
• Event materials (QR codes)

Why it works:

• Installs the app if needed
• Automatically activates your app inside Medikka
• Takes users directly to your environment

👉 No friction = more users.

3. Personally Invite Your First 20–30 Users

Avoid mass communication at the beginning.

Instead:

• Send personal messages
• Explain why the app is useful for them
• Ask them to join and give feedback

👉 These users become your core community.

4. Give Them a Reason to Join Now

People need a clear reason to act immediately.

Best triggers:

• An upcoming event
• Exclusive content or information
• Access to a community or network
• A specific action (register, vote, participate)

👉 “Join later” = never.

5. Use Events as a Growth Engine

Events are one of your most powerful acquisition tools.

Before the event:

• Share the app link for registration

During the event:

• Display QR codes (entrance, screens, badges)

After the event:

• Share content, photos, follow-ups

👉 One event can generate dozens of users instantly.

6. Activate Your First Users

Getting users is not enough — they must take action.

Encourage them to:

• Complete their profile
• Explore the People module
• Register for an event
• Interact (chat, threads, etc.)

👉 Activated users bring more users.

7. Create a Small Network Effect

Once you have your first users:

• Encourage them to invite others
• Highlight who is already on the app
• Use the People module to show familiar faces

👉 People join where they already know someone.

8. Stay Focused on Quality

100 engaged users are far more valuable than 1,000 inactive ones.

Focus on:

• Relevance
• Interaction
• Feedback

👉 Your goal is not just growth — it’s engagement density.
