From 0 to 1,500 waitlist users in 25 days with almost zero spend

Show HN: 1,500 waitlist signups for HustleAdvisor in 25 days with near zero spend. HustleAdvisor is a social network where entrepreneurs share practical lessons and earn from paid posts and subscriptions. We reached 1,500 emails by leaning into TikTok and niche communities. We post short motivational edits with a clear hook, sometimes using scenes from films like The Wolf of Wall Street; one edit hit about six hundred thousand views and drove most sign ups, and we used TikTok Promote a few times with very small budgets. We also replied in Whop and Skool subreddits when users felt ignored, acknowledged their issue, explained that me and my team listen and ship from feedback, and invited them to the waitlist. The landing is a single screen with a single action and a clear value promise, followed by a short survey after sign up. Lessons so far: one strong message beats many weak ones, meet people where they already are, and keep the path from attention to sign up very short.
