Ask HN: Best way to get beta app signups?
We're building a consumer mobile app and are in private beta right now. We have the ability to send someone a build via email. Any good suggestions to amass user emails?
If you're interested in trying it out (req: i phone/pad/pod touch w/ios8): email team@getnowapp.co and we'll reply with a build.
Thanks!

- orky56 12y ago1) Create a landing page with an easy-to-type and remember URL. 2) Convey the basic value of the app (why it matters, why it's relevant, why should they use it over the competition, etc.). 3) Give users ability to give email address and other optional info such as name or other survey questions. 4) Create at a minimum a chance to have users give their friends email addresses. Even better would be to give them an incentive to invite (quicker access, additional features, etc.).
