When beta testing, it’s critical to get your target audience to test it and not you mum and friends (who will not give you real feedback)
So I went over to Reddit, found the appropriate subreddit that my target audience uses, messaged the moderator and was honest.
Just told them I needed the communities support as I am creating a product to solve one of the biggest problems discussed here. I gave them the opportunity to look at it and they allowed me to post it.
I got great feedback to the point I had to make several needed changes. Now I believe I have a product that will be even more useful to my audience.
I hope this is helpful to those looking for beta testers.

This was a good idea! When are you launching on PH?

As a UX Researcher, I agree and approve this message. Recruiting on related subreddits is a good idea and I shall try it. I'm currently creating a coupons survey and will include Reddit in my distribution channels.
That’s a really great idea. Thanks for sharing. I do
think that Reddit is one of the best places to get honest feedback.
I crafted a compelling post on a relevant online community, highlighting the unique value of my product. I focused on solving a specific pain point and offered beta access as an exclusive opportunity for early adopters. Emphasizing limited spots created a sense of urgency. Clear and concise messaging, coupled with engaging visuals, captured users' attention. I actively engaged with comments, addressing queries and building a sense of community. Leveraging social proof, I shared positive testimonials and success stories from initial testers. The combination of a targeted message, exclusivity, urgency, and community engagement contributed to the rapid acquisition of 30+ beta users in just one post. Cronaldo
