Finding beta customers
by LavWe didn't do anything majorly creative to get our first batch of beta customers.
The first thing we did was create a small landing page with a video and ran some small Google Adwords and Facebook campaigns to see how many people would sign up for the beta.
Our CTO also wrote a couple of articles that were published on Smashing Magazine and Hackernoon, and he mentioned Vacation Tracker while he was speaking at conferences.
When we launched, we had about 50 emails on our list and we notified all of them. About 30 actually signed up and tested the product. And this is where the feedback started pouring in and we started planning our roadmap around what users were asking for.
