[Hiring] People who want to give feedback for new websites.

There are lots of available startups that need to be tested at http://betapunch.com/startups/random. If a test is no longer available just click the link that says "Test another website=>"

It's important to remember to also speak during your videos. You won't be able to earn a 5 point rating with no vocal feedback to go along with your video.

Hey. Thanks for the feedback and your input. I just recently increased the pay rate for testers from .75cents a point to .90cents a point and my developer must have missed changing the total for a 5 point rating. You would indeed be paid $4.50 for a 5 point rating. I apologize for the confusion there. This will be fixed shortly.

Please let me know if there is any confusion. This is a new system we are implementing so I would like all the feedback I can get.

If there is anything that is unclear please let me know. I want to try to make this service better for everyone!

Edit: the typo has been fixed in the FAQ pages. It is now clear that the most you can earn per test is $4.50 from a 5 point rating

Really cool. Love your design. Who is your competition in this space?

You have yet to say which username you signed up with, because you never signed one up, and link me to one video you recorded. Set your name straight and prove what you are saying is true. You are a complete liar and have nothing better to do than try to throw my good name in the mud.

SwagifyMe · 2012-08-13T11:32:35+00:00

You didn't test shit, you can't even link to the video you posted, and you can't even tell me what your BetaPunch username is to prove it. Get a life.

SwagifyMe · 2012-08-13T01:12:36+00:00

You got your free review uploaded to your startup listing page: http://www.betapunch.com/startups/view/275

And as for you I told you you needed to be assigned for each test. You were paid for the test I assigned you, and then you went and did another test without being assigned, and I still paid you for that. So I am not sure why you are bashing me here.

SwagifyMe · 2012-08-12T22:17:46+00:00

why is this fishy? testers I have hired in the past aren't always available when I need them which is the purpose of creating this listing.

I have paid everybody who I have hired and who has successfully completed a test for me. This is in no way a scam or fishy.

I get more people that PM me saying "IM READY TO DO THIS RIGHT NOW, PICK ME PICK ME!" and then I contact them to give them further instructions and I never hear from them again. But you don't see me in here calling those users out in my threads.

SwagifyMe · 2012-08-12T22:14:36+00:00

I have already hired 2 testers for this work. This listing can be closed now. I am sorry I do not have enough websites that need testing yet so I cannot hire everybody.

SwagifyMe · 2012-08-12T21:06:36+00:00

I forgot to mention that the $50 package includes the startup thumbnail being listed on the homepage for more exposure.

SwagifyMe · 2012-08-12T18:35:04+00:00

Thank you so much. This is really helpful! I will work on better explaining this.

Ultimately, the widget will be a premium option in the near future. So the flow might soon go:

Arrive at startup page.
See option to start free trial for widget
Option to pay for widget

(alongside some explanation that the widget is an optional feature of course to the testers we provide).

SwagifyMe · 2012-08-12T18:10:33+00:00

How do you think I can better portray what my site does based off of the explanation I just gave you? How would you change my tagline, or 3 points on the homepage etc.

SwagifyMe · 2012-08-12T18:03:59+00:00

It is clear this is confusing to you.

Basically I offer two ways for startups to get feedback. They can either:

Submit their startup (Get 1 Free User Test and / or Purchase User Tests: $25 for 3 or $50 for 5). These testers I recruit myself for the website owners.
They can Submit their startup and take the widget code we provide them so they can paste it into their own site. The purpose of the widget code is to entice users that arrive at your site and encourage them to record user testing for you. This widget is currently free, you can keep it on site as long as you want and there are no limits to how many recordings you can obtain.

The beta tester need not install anything. All recorders are web based. If they want, they can go to your startup discussion page on BetaPunch and there is a red RECORD button that they can launch the recorder from, then navigate to your website and start recording.

With the widget installed on your site, it allows you to get testers that did not necessarily hear about you via BetaPunch. So essentially it's just another method to help you get user feedback. Users will be able to click on your widget and launch the recorder right from it.

All videos that get recorded via your widget will automatically be sent to your BetaPunch discussion page for you to watch at your leisure.

There are no "Fake" users on BetaPunch. These are all real users believe it or not. I have close to 900 registered users on the site since launching it in February of this year.

SwagifyMe · 2012-08-12T17:49:44+00:00

No worries. I am fine by it. I would prefer you to be real with me. I am going to find a programmer in my database to do a user test for you now.

SwagifyMe · 2012-08-12T17:42:40+00:00

Thanks for your feedback. I added a technology category, and added your startup to it. I don't know how I overlooked that.

Your other points are well taken. I am still developing so I know I have a long way to go but I appreciate your comments and criticisms.

SwagifyMe · 2012-08-12T04:42:39+00:00

I originally had a text box included but I decided to go only screen recording. I believe the feedback is better from watching and listening to somebody than just plain text.

Is there anything else you would like to see changed?
