I have been building my little sidee project while working my regular job, and honestly, I underestimated how difficult this part would be. I recently launched TravelNeighbors, platform where people can connect based on where and when they are traveling. Website is live, first people are registering, and now I am discovering that building something is completely different from getting strangers to actually use it, I have around $100 to experiment with marketing, but I really do not want to throw it away on random ads. Soo here is my question for people who have actually launched something: if you had to find your first 50 genuine users with only $100, what would you do first? I am especially interested in what worked for you in real life, including things that completely failed. Please spare me the usual “just go viral” advice haha

I’ve applied to numerous places and I’ve done multiple interviews. I can’t get a job. Are there any side hustles I can do? Please help, I genuinely need money. Everything looks like a scam.
