Are you looking for early adopters? I'd love to pick your brains!

I've been having some interesting conversations on this topic and would love to hear thoughts from you indie hackers!

I'll dive straight in, but feel free to ask me any extra info.

Firstly, in order to convert early adopters for your product, what type of rewards would you be prepared to offer? Would you focus just on better lifetime deals or would you go outside of this into other types of rewards?

Secondly, I am working on bringing some more focus to early adopter products on my directory website (CtrlAlt.CC), so what would incentivise you to share with your audience that you are featured on a place like my website and potentially display a badge on your landing page linking to it?

The idea behind this is that everybody sharing that they are on this directory website would bring more eyes on everybody's products, without vanity metrics. If we take these out though, what would be a good incentive for you to share & get your audience to check out your product on this directory?
