How to beta test?

How do I convince adventure sports providers to beta test my web application?

  • I have an web application which allows friends to coordinate, plan and book adventure sports activities. Where can I reach providers to beta test my application? How can I convince them that its worth their time?

  • Answer:

    If your product is designed to solve a specific problem that Adventure Sports providers have (and you know it, because you've asked more than a few), it is well designed and easy to use (adventure sports providers tend to be a little behind the technology curve - they're practical people) and you are active within the industry, then you will have no issue getting a demo. You just need to be patient, persistent and authentic in your pursuit of finding the real solution to the problem. The biggest problem I come across within this industry, is the number of hobbyists-come-business owners that believe that their passion for an activity or genre of sports entitles them to commercial success in the industry. When you cut through it, the adventure, action and outdoor sports industry is competitive, a little old skool and requires astute business acumen to succeed - that and a very cool product. The best and most influential sources of industry insight are proven business owners who have the right mix of hustle & graft, and general business skills and have been doing what they do for years - because they love it. Get a few of these on side and their influence will add serious weight to their feedback. Good luck with your product.

We @Konkuri made a Beta version and went online, then gave free acces to the application so that people used it and gave us plenty of advices about how to improve it. Try to get your application indexed also in the main startup listing websites helps too.

Everyone starts by pitching their app/product to potential customers and users. If you manage to impress them in a 15 seconds phrase, then you have a conversation. If you show them that your products offers values, solves a 'pain-in-the-ass' problem for them, than you'll get them interested to try the app. Is that simple. If you're not actually in the target industry of your product, than try to be. Network and befriend people from that industry and get to know as much as possible about it. How they think, and how they work, what they *really* need. Good luck!

You should engage them by offering a cash prize. Have you ever heard about http://www.betalize.com? It aims you to find testers worldwide by starting a contest about your product or service. It worth!
