Engage in all kinds of Forums and communities, be helpful to related problems and promote your tool pre-launch as a better future solution with an email signup on your website (Source: Zapier Indiehacker podcast)

Don’t focus on the distribution of the general tool early on, but build mini-apps with the tool that copy successful products and offer them much cheaper, e.g. make a light versions of things like that one:
