Dear SUN Community,

I am looking for advice on how to go about getting 50-100 beta testers of my Web based expense tracking software, previously known as MyWifesMoney.com, renamed to CashWaltz.com and redesigned (based upon the many suggestions of the SUN community).  I would be interested in suggestions of how to reward the testers but keep cost low.  Here are a few that I`ve considered;

1. Soliciting blogger with the beta program announcement
2. Offering Beta testers a year free subscription to the site (contingent upon their providing feedback).
3. Using a service (such as UserTesting.com ), but this has a higher cost than I`d like to incur this moment.
4. Soliciting my LinkedIn network for testers.
   

Can you offer more suggestions on getting the testers, and rewarding them inexpensively?

Thank you,

Ronnie Pitts,

i enjoy using linkedin.  have you considered registration for any of your names - for federal protection?
