Howdy all! So IdeaBot.io (my personal side-project) came up with this pretty funny but also intriguing idea as seen in the title. I think it has the potential to go viral so I shared it with the world here! :) Do something with it if you want.

Recruiting quality testers for your product isn't always that easy. If you already have a strong network within your target market, then all you have to do is tweet something. Now you've got 100+ people knocking at your door. But what if you don't have that? Maybe you could: - Post to an online group where your target users hang out (Reddit, FB etc) - Direct message people who are posting online about the problem you can solve - Create and share content that brings attention to what you're working on - Start networking from scratch. Make connections, build relationships, and eventually find introductions to testers in your target market. - Take out an ad in Craigslist or pay people on mTurk to test for you. All of these can be effective. But, they also have tradeoffs and risks. - some are slow - some take a lot of time investment - some can bring too much attention before you're ready - some can hurt your reputation if people don't like you posting or contacting them, etc. This can make getting testers even harder for product makers. What has your experience been like? How are you getting people to test your product?
