Begin with those close to you and encourage them to recommend it to others. Build connections on social media and attend developer events in person, among other activities.

@bensongao Noted and will do it for sure. Should we attend meet of targeted audiences or developers?

Start by targeting early adopters who are comfortable trying beta software and giving feedback. Promote your beta on communities where your target users hang out, like relevant subreddits, forums, Discords, etc. Consider offering incentives like free premium features for beta users. Build an email list of interested beta users pre-launch. Tap into your personal network too - friends, former colleagues, etc can help spread the word. The key is finding the right audience who will put up with bugs to access new tools!

Definitely start with your personal network first - friends, family, colleagues who might be interested. Share on social media and relevant online communities too. Consider creating a simple landing page to collect email signups from potential beta users. Attending industry events or meetups could also help get the word out. The key is to hustle and be proactive in getting it in front of as many relevant people as possible early on!
