#4Once you're no longer closed beta Museum of Modern Beta's is another option: http://momb.socio-kybernetics.net/
Technology showcases also work, like e.g. builtwithbackbonejs.com

#5Where do your customers hang out online? If your customers are “everyone”, pick a narrower group to start with that you can target more directly, and then once you get traction there, expand to other groups.

#6This is super hard and there is no great answer. I've never met anyone who's had good luck with places like Betalist. (Though "Show HN" can work.)
Realistically you are going to be tracking down your first 100 users yourself manually. Figure out who among your friends is a good fit and bug them. Then ask all your other friends who they know who'd be a good fit. If they don't click, follow up and ask why. If they click but then don't come back, follow up and ask why. If they become an active user, you are about to become best friends, always talking about what they like and why.
You're going to feel like a mooch for a while -- like you're always asking your contacts for things and not giving back. This is normal.
Also, this thread is on the front page, so post a link. Quick -- an opportunity!

It's supposed to be a billboard for startup and product launches.
I pushed it out about three weeks ago, it's picking up some pretty good traffic so far.
I plan on expanding it into something more, something that actually gets you your initial user-base.

#9I had my last product on the front page for a while. Show HN can be a good source of traffic, but it was quite useless for getting users, or even quality feedback.
I suggest you look for niches in your industry.
