Product Launch, w/c 26 March
The product launch for this week is going very well. I have purchased the domain name and set up hosting. The product itself has gone back to my programmer for a final "spit and polish", and I have just this moment completed the User Manual.
My task for tomorrow is to create a 1 page website showing the Features, Advantages and Benefits of the Tool, along with a "buy now" link.
Once my programmer sends me the final version, I'll then set everything live and hopefully make a few sales.
Sales - how to get them
Pretty simple - find where your target market hangs out and then make an announcement post offering a special introductory price.
So, just what is it?
Well, it's a desktop tool that speeds up a certain process that many "internet marketers" use all the time. Imagine the daily time saving of 30 minutes (or more), right down to three minutes, tops! If I sell 50 copies, I'll be very happy.

Product is now complete and tested. Comment of Tester;
This 1 tester was having some very strange errors, which all turned out to be "pseudo" problems…
1 other user reported another error, which I confirmed and sent back to my programmer for a fix-up. This was completed very quickly.
Also, a tester came up with a brilliant idea which I then thought about but couldn't get my head around a solution - but my programmer did find a very elegant way to do it.
All in all, I am very pleased with this new product. I now need to package it all up into a windows installer (as it's a desktop based tool), then set up a sales page for it. And set this baby live for public sales on 1st April!

Update; "software box" graphic is now completed. Next up is to add a bit to the User Manual, detailing the new feature that was added yesterday.

Update;
1. User Manual now completed.
2. Tool is now completed.
3. Graphical Software box is created…
To Do;
1. Create 1 Page website
2. Send to programmer for him to put the whole lot into an installation executable
3. Once #2 is done, upload it all into my sales/download script.
4. Set Live!
Even though not publically released, I have already posted into the KA forum to try to get a few buyers - these guys will benefit from the lowest price possible as they will pay in advance of receiving the completed files on Monday.
At this point, no sales made, so my ROI is a big fat zero. Will update.

Update; sold 2 products so far at a special (read "low") price so ROI is now at about 0.05 or so. In other words, another 18 or so sales to break into profit. I'm hoping that the finished product goes live tomorrow and I will then create a WSO for the product…

Myself and my testers have been putting this through it's paces and we came up with a couple of "features" (bugs) as well as some good ideas for functinality. So, my programmer is working on it - after which it'll be good to go.
Box cover up there took me about 10 minutes - not bad, eh? And now you know what the product is all about too. Aren't I nice? Here's a comment;
Initial feedback is excellent and with the couple of bugfixes and new functionality it will be much better.
Basically, this tool will be ultra useful to you if you run more than a handful of blogs, and you make the odd "announcement" post (for example when you launch a new site, or if you want to pimp an Aff link or whatever)…imagine the possibility of posting to your whole blog farm in one go? There are other more advanced features too, but they'll stay private unless you buy the tool
Looking forward to getting this puppy up and running.
