What is a good strategy to build community in front of go live?

We are currently still in progress with doing technical stuff for our SaaS we planed. But we make big steps forward with it.
This week, I've read an nice article from @8bit. He noticed, that if anybody ask him, what he's building, he answered

I'm building a community.

While reading this article I'd remember that also @yongfook noticed in his report about his journey with bannerbear, that having a community (at least on Product launch) was an elementary key for succeeding.

That open my eyes! Starting to build a community if the product is nearly ready for go-live, is too late!

So now, I wonder what are good strategies to do that. What is your secret or daily routine to do that?

If I see members like @rosiesherry (32k followers), @channingallen (109k followers) or @csallen (110k followers), I'm absolutely impressed about the reach and impact they have in the community.

I don't think I will get such a big range of followers, so I would be glad if I get 100 or 200 followers (for the first step).

I think if I'd learned how to get 100 followers, I will know how it works and can increase my effort on it step by step.

    honestly, continue to share your story and connect with others! give value, if you can, before you ask.

    so many folks here can help!

    Hey Samuel,

    I’m planning to build a networking community, interested in brainstorming ideas?

      Thank you for your offer...,
      ... but as you can read in my posting, I do trying really hard to get more time to get the tasks done, which are need to build my own SaaS-Service.
      In my opinion, your offer seems to be the opposite direction, because it will consume additional time I don't have yet.
