Perhaps there is a free way to get more users (or a cheaper way). Why don't you post how you are currently getting users and Ask HN if there is a more economical way.

If they don't like you, they won't buy. Sure there are exceptions but it's an excellent rule of thumb. Look at Trump: hate him or love him virtually every person he meets face to face comments on how warm, interested and comp
