Hello,<p>Can anyone share please any thoughts on how and where to get quality feedback? (free or not expensive)<p>Why? Recently we, a team of 2 people, reached beta milestone, but not sure where to go next. We can't get enough feedback from users or right users.<p>So far we have emailed a few bloggers and tech people relevant to the area, but didn't get anything yet, although that was during weekend. So, do I send 100 emails or 5?<p>Thank you in advance.
I guess it's depend of the kind of product you develop.<p>In our case, we got about 50 different feedback during our beta (We develop a search engine for app creator):<p>- 60% from people we have met during meetups/conferences/contests and accelerator programs<p>- 30% from people in our network, we just asked them what they think of our product.<p>- 10% from ads. We have spend around $600 in AdWords + $150 of sponsored tweet. I would not recommend this approach since it is very expensive for the income.
Post on Craigslist that you are looking for someone who enjoys a free coffee and X. (With X being the genre of your product.) Take the replies and explain to them what you are doing, that you are looking for some market feedback and that in exchange for 30 minutes of their time, you'll buy them a coffee at <INSERT LOCAL COFFEE SHOP HERE> while you discuss their reaction.
Well for my case i simply asked the good people of hackernews to review it for me. I couldn't hope for anything better:<p><a href="https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5353348" rel="nofollow">https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=5353348</a>
