What is the correlation between launching a startup and having health problems? Do you have to sacrifice your health to succeed?

Consciously if one smart entrepreneur defines delegation or responsibilities metrics then not all the stress and todo fall as his / her pie. At times you feel like doing it all by yourself to stay on top of competition however you can define what's timely to beat market and focus on that one, rest you can delegate. Balance the health by bringing companion in healthyhealthy living lifestyle. One can be your pet or friend or spouse. Take their help in setting up a routine. It will help not to lose health over your startup aspirations. Good luck.

What's the best way to get my first 100 customers for my SMB SaaS software I'm about to launch?

I would encourage to do pre-trial gamified engagement with target companies/employees. Create indirect yet relevant functional experience and rewards those users with something encouraging. It can be a coffee mug, T-shirt or even a month free for product. Then introduce the SaaS software to use.
Pre-trial engagement gamification can be as simple as - Q & A or Take a photo moment or Mention a problem (one your SaaS software can solve) via tweet.
I have given this method a try and seen very valuable results. Indirect relevance in gamification can be extremely helpful.
We solve this problem with our platform http://oly.io

I am a call /email away if you need further help.

All the good luck!
Best,

I have functional prototype for an app that facilitates and provides solutions to users including residents & tourists - how can I best market it?

Prelaunch gamification will certainly be very helpful in your case.
I have found that if you reward prospective users of your app using indirectly relevant gamification, users get engaged with your venture. The most activity mobile app user does after texting and phone calls is Take Photos.
I would suggest to create a gamified campaign around taking photos of landmarks and reward those prospective users for taking 3-5 photos, social sharing etc.
Reward something simpler like what they can physically take home or share or use while traveling etc.
now once the campaign is over, notify all the participants to social share and also introduce your actual app. There will be a great chance of these users becoming your app's genuine users and continue using your product.
Build the campaign!

What is the most effective way of advertising apps?

Paid Ads on social networks can generate some downloads however engagement for continuous usage of apps is critical to success of your venture. Ads can't buy engagements unless Inapp features are creative or outside app campaigns (instead of ads) are gamified in a indirectly relevant mechanism.

Is this common practice or a even a good business model to people market their services through photography, facebook content, market research, etc?

Using Photography for marketing can certainly be very effective.
Content and their ads on social networks can generate some market however engagement for continuous usage of services is critical to success of client's venture. Ads can't buy engagements unless product services & features are creative or outside app marketing campaigns (instead of ads) are gamified in a indirectly relevant mechanism.
