Ask YC: How to get more beta testers?

2 points by tak111 18y ago ↗ HN

Hi, I am needing beta testers for my new application, but I am not sure where to get them. My targeted audience are senior high school kids and non CS college students. Does anyone have any idea?

A vast majority of your target audience uses facebook - try a facebook ad or group?

Want do you want to test, exactly? If it's the 'usability' of your application, you should read 'Why You Only Need to Test With 5 Users' by Jakob Nielsen:

Hire a marketing intern from a local college for $12/hr and do what they suggest.
