How we got 1000 beta signups in 2 weeks
We decided to focus on BetaList first, as it was the apt community for a private beta product like ours. (Product Hunt wouldn’t accept private betas, so we kept it for later.)
BetaList is a vibrant community where the audience is hungry to try new stuff everyday. Getting on BetaList however, is close to impossible if you go the organic way — like Product Hunt. We realized that their wait periods can go indefinitely long after a submission. So we decided to go the paid route and spent $199 on a one day approval process.
