I guess it's depend of the kind of product you develop.

In our case, we got about 50 different feedback during our beta (We develop a search engine for app creator):

- 60% from people we have met during meetups/conferences/contests and accelerator programs

- 30% from people in our network, we just asked them what they think of our product.

- 10% from ads. We have spend around $600 in AdWords + $150 of sponsored tweet. I would not recommend this approach since it is very expensive for the income.

It turned out to be a bit more developer oriented service(it's based on Selenium).

When you say network, you mean friends and buddies?

Our product is also clearly developer oriented (it's a SDK). Yes I mean friends, ex-colleges but also interesting people we have reached via an introduction.
