I need to double our user base in 24 hours. What should I do?

I am doing a 24 hour long challenge to double userbase at surfkey.io. Started at 400, the plan is to get 800.

+14 users in last six hours. 18 hours to go.

I did

  • Commenting on relevant posts by dogfeeding the tool.
  • Commented here on IH on relevant posts
  • PH comments + a post
  • Launched Reddit ad, but still waiting for approval
  • Google ads, but I don't expect a lot from it. We are quite niched tool
  • Posted on Twitter
  • Posted on LinkedIn

I am going to

  • Do more comments (Reddit, IH, PH) as new relevant posts comes in
  • Launch a few TikTok, but on a fresh account
  • Launch FB ads
  • Post into FB groups
  • Want to do LI outreach, but Saturday is not the best day for cold outreach

Any other ideas for quick wins that I am missing? :)

    You could do a giveaway? E.g. on twitter, having people RT and sign up to be eligible for the giveaway?

      Haven't thought of that! But then I need you to sign up so it's 2

        I think he meant - You plus another remaining user will make it 2.
