Game is done now what? How do you get beta testers?

Just wondering how you get beta testers for your games?

It’s been 4 weeks, and I have only managed to attract 23 testers to my iOS game’s open beta. Of those 23 only 9 have actually launched the game. Of those 9 only 1 has provided feedback.

I have been looking for free ways to attract testers. So far I have posted in several forums related, 1 beta testing site, and here in the community showcase. What else should I be doing?

Not to sound too desperate but since you are reading this would you like to join the beta? [shrug]

Have you tried offering them money?

We give them all the in-app purchases for free

That’s a no then. If you want reliable beta feedback, you hire people. If you want less than 5% of people who you have asked to beta test to give you any feedback, you do what you did.

I appreciate your direct answer @Murgilod. My thought has been to find testers who are interested in our product and offer freebies, but I am open to paying a fair price for beta testers.

@Murgilod, do you know any beta tester market places?

Any other thoughts or success/fail stories related to this?

Bold move to ask me for help and then insult me in DMs.

I only challenged you to care about this community. I’m not sure why you feel insulted. Sorry.

Thanks for responding to my post. I looked through your history, and I see you. Not everyone here is a complete d’bag. I dare you to give a shit about the people in this community. You can do better.

You wanna try that “why are you insulted” thing again, champ?

@Murgilod, after thinking about my comments to you yesterday I would like to offer you an apology. I hope you will forgive me. I am not always such a jerk.
