Hi, I Co-Own a KitPvP server with a friend of mine, we are both quite old and have been working on this server for over a year, we only have a few more bugs to work out before we can start advertising. However, we need some beta players I guess you can say. So, What is a good way to advertise that is free for now to try to get some new players to try it out and let us know of any bugs (If any). Please let me know if you have any ideas on how I can get more players onto the server to test it out before we buy a slot or something of that sort. (No i'm not trying to advertise here, however if you would like the ip to try it out and just look around and leave some feedback here you are more than welcome to do so.)

Firstly make sure your server is able to manage while you are not on, secondly you will have to invest a little bit of $ to make people wanna get on.

Yea, the server is hosted by XHostFire (He is the Owner) And, we have I wanna say 4 gb on the server or so. And, we have an average of 19.00 TPS almost all the time. And, We plan to buy a slot, but would like to get rid of any bugs there may be before we do so, so we just wanna try to get players to come and try it out. So, are there any free ways to get people that you know of?

Not that i'm asking for a promotion, just for people to come try it out test our features, and let us know whats wrong, after that they are not required to come back, they are just doing a favor for someone. :p

Slots just attract cheaters.
Hire a bunch of small youtubers to come record a few episodes or upload a trailer.
Create an account on PMC and bump your server every 24 hours, that might get you 5 joins a night depending if the server is any good.

Slots : lots of players but low player retention.

Big youtubers : extremely effective but once the youtuber leaves , the players leave too.

Smaller youtubers : not extremely effective but, if hired in a bunch + longer period of time , it does bring in players plus player retention.

Ultimately, it depends on the server. All these methords provides exposure for your server , brings in publicity for your server. So , any advertisement would work if your server is very interesting to play on. If it's another generic server with no twist , I'm afraid these methords don't bring in a huge impact in the long period.
Unless you're damn rich and can afford 1000's of dollars.

Don't give up hope , do it with your heart & don't do it solely for the money and you should be fine.
