Start sending emails and reaching to those who have the hair on fire problem you're trying to solve.

Ok so i should gather emails...what is the best way? Posting to forums/reddit or something else can help gathering emails or driving people to landing pages?

First of all, what is the problem you're solving? who has that problem?

After knowing who you are targeting, find out where you can reach them (reddit, forums, HN, facebook, linkedin...) and start talking with them.

I'd strongly recommend checking out the book "Lean Customer Development". Will hold your hand through the entire process of this aspect of it.
