1	# BetaList Platform Help
2
3	Helps with everything related to using BetaList — a pre-launch startup discovery platform founded in 2010 by Marc Kohlbrugge. BetaList connects founders with 100,000+ registered early adopters who actively seek new products to try before mainstream launch.
4
5	## Step 1 — Gather context
6
7
8	If `references/learnings.md` exists, read it first for accumulated knowledge.
9
10	Ask the user:
11
12	1. What are you trying to do on BetaList?
13	- A) Submit my startup for the first time
14	- B) Optimize an existing or upcoming listing
15	- C) Decide between free queue and Priority ($129)
16	- D) Understand why my submission was rejected
17	- E) Access the BetaList API
18	- F) Something else — describe it
19
20	2. What stage is your product?
21	- A) Pre-launch — no public access yet (private beta, waitlist)
22	- B) Recently launched — live but early stage
23	- C) Established — been live for a while
24	- D) Not sure if BetaList is the right fit
25
26	3. What's your primary goal?
27	- A) Get beta testers and early feedback
28	- B) SEO backlink (DR67 dofollow)
29	- C) Newsletter exposure (30K+ subscribers)
30	- D) All of the above
31
32	If the user's request already provides most of this context, skip directly to the relevant step. Lead with your best-effort answer using reasonable assumptions (stated explicitly), then ask only the most critical 1-2 clarifying questions at the end.
33
34	## Step 2 — Route or answer directly
35
36	If the request maps to a different skill, route:
37	- Multi-directory launch strategy → `/sales-launch-directory`
38	- Product Hunt launch → `/sales-producthunt`
39	- General audience growth → `/sales-audience-growth`
40	- Email marketing for subscribers → `/sales-email-marketing`
41	- Landing page optimization → `/sales-checkout`
42
43	Otherwise, answer directly from the platform knowledge below.
44
45	## Step 3 — BetaList platform reference
46
47	Read `references/platform-guide.md` for detailed directory documentation, pricing, acceptance criteria, and backlink value.
48
49	You no longer need the platform guide details — focus on the user's specific situation.
50
51	## Step 4 — Actionable guidance
52
53	### Optimizing your BetaList submission
54
55	\| Element \| Best practice \|
56	\|---\|---\|
57	\| Tagline \| Lead with the problem you solve, under 60 chars. "Find leads who visit your website" > "AI-powered B2B lead generation platform" \|
58	\| Description \| Focus on what makes you different, not feature lists. Address: What problem? For whom? Why now? \|
59	\| Screenshots \| Show the product in action — real UI, not marketing graphics. Include at least one GIF showing core workflow \|
60	\| Thumbnail GIF \| Add one animated GIF as thumbnail — it stands out in the directory. Use brand colors, not white background. Ideal size: 800x600px (displayed at 400x300px) \|
61	\| URL \| Working landing page with clear CTA (signup, waitlist, beta access). Must be your own domain \|
62	\| Category \| Pick the most specific category that fits — BetaList shows category pages \|
63
64	### Free queue vs Priority ($129) decision
65
66	Pay for Priority when:
67	- You're coordinating a multi-platform launch and need timing control
68	- You're pre-launch with a narrow beta window — 2 months is too long
69	- The $129 is worth it for the guaranteed newsletter exposure
70	- You want the DR67 backlink NOW, not in 2 months
71
72	Stay in the free queue when:
73	- No timing pressure — you're playing the long game
74	- Budget is tight and you can wait
75	- You're submitting to many directories and BetaList is just one of them
76	- You want to use the queue time to refine your product
77
78	ROI math: BetaList typically delivers 200-500 visitors with 15-20% conversion rates. At $129 Priority: $0.50-$1.40 per signup. Free queue: $0 per signup but 2+ month delay.
79
80	### Maximizing results after featuring
81
82	1. Be ready on launch day — your listing is live for 24 hours on the homepage. Have your landing page, onboarding, and support ready
83	2. Respond to feedback — early adopters who find you via BetaList are genuinely interested in trying new things. Engage with them
84	3. Track with UTMs — add `?utm_source=betalis
