Testers & early interest

Beta and early access

Beta sites put an unreleased product in front of people who like to be early. They suit the weeks before a public launch, when a waitlist and a handful of honest testers are worth more than traffic.

How to use beta and early access

  1. Have a real way to join: an email form or a download, not only a social link.
  2. Check eligibility before paying. Some sites only accept new technology startups with a custom landing page.
  3. Follow up with everyone who signs up; the value is in the conversations, not the count.
