Jane from www.findallanswers.com

It worked!

The free version launch went really well and over 520 bloggers opted in to see the videos and get entered into the contest which, considering that I only had 1200 on the notify list is a pretty good percentage! anything over 100 entrants to a contest is good so getting 5 times that felt nice.

I think the launch went successfully and I learned an awful lot about the process and what I might want to do for the launch of premium CommentLuv (coding starts in July for that) and I also learned what a tiring experience it can be trying to keep up with a bazillion emails and questions.

I’ll be much more ready for next time!

I think I can say it’s been a success considering how many people downloaded it on it’s first 2 days on the repository!

over 2000 downloads in one day? woot!

Thanks to everyone that took part and gave me feedback, now go and visit the bloggers listed on this post and go and learn a thing or two (or 9)
