Where and how do you find your early adoptors. What worked? what didn't？

by•

I have been working on my side project (a productivity tool) for the past 5 months. I want to find some beta users for my software. With very limited time and resources, how and where can I find my first 100 beta users?

Hey Victor, Congratulations on your side project. Start with your friends and family. The most valuable thing you'll need right now is feedback for initial improvements on user experience. I guarantee you will learn a lot about your own platform from only 1-10 users. 😀

I first started by working with existing communities on Discord. This allowed me to avoid marketing costs, and receive valuable feedback from traders of all backgrounds who were a perfect sample of the target audience.

As someone working on SaaS, I used LinkedIn by searching people with that suits my target profile and contact them, Twitter by DM-ing target customer and Facebook by joining a community If you're working on a d2c product like (a productivity tool). I would suggest to go to reddit & hackernews. You could post in Show HN first then post in related subreddits (however before post anything on subreddits, read the rules first) Good luck
