Ask YC: How to get more beta testers?

Hi, I am needing beta testers for my new application, but I am not sure where to get them. My targeted audience are senior high school kids and non CS college students. Does anyone have any idea?

Want do you want to test, exactly? If it's the 'usability' of your application, you should read 'Why You Only Need to Test With 5 Users' by Jakob Nielsen:

A vast majority of your target audience uses facebook - try a facebook ad or group?

Hire a marketing intern from a local college for $12/hr and do what they suggest.
