Pre-launch progress report
Hi.
I’ve been trying not to innundate you with messages, so I’ve been keeping most updates to the blog and the GoTryTHIS twitter account.
We invited 100 people so far and these customers have helped us find various issues to fix. They were mostly with the sales and setup process, including some due to cloud hosting oddities. There was nothing overly troubling with GoTryTHIS itself, due to its extensive stress-testing. Yay! 
Programmers are working on updates. I’m currently covering support along with the talented Robyn. We’re also working on improving the documentation based on the feedback and questions that have been coming in so far. That will be an ongoing process of course, so please keep sending your feedback.
The response has been really positive, which is so good to hear after working on it all this time. I want to share this e-mail from David because he really “gets it” and I asked him if he would create a video to expand on how he uses GoTryTHIS. He said “Yes!”, and I’ll follow up with him on that once the release version comes out.
Here’s how David uses GoTryTHIS:
> I’m one of those lucky people who found GoTryThis in the early
> days. But I’m also one of the smarter ones who actually installed
> it and embedded my entire business in GTT.
>
> With more than 2,000 organized referral links, I can look back
> through my stats and find marketing campaigns that actually worked.
>
> Blog posts are ranked by popularity in my GTT installations.
>
> ClickBank affiliate promotions are listed in order of click
> through now.
>
> I got a bunch of links with very little traffic going through them
> too. And guess, what I’ll never run that promotion again. I can
> now see definitively which promotions are losers and focus on the
> winners.
>
> Thanks so much for the great product. I’ve been waiting patiently
> for the massive upgrade and all I can say is the wait was worth it.
> I’m a GTT user for life.
>
> Great product!

Okay, what next? Here’s my estimated timeline:
1) This week we’re the remaining issues that we know of.
2) Next week we’ll (probably) release another 50 copies
3) Next week we’ll also be finishing the next release, which includes fixes and a very enhanced co-branding “viral’ bar, which I think you’re going to like. We might wait until this is done before releasing the next 50 copies.
4) Once we’ve got good feedback on the upgrade process and the new version, everyone can upgrade from version 1! There is a very good chance of all that happening in the next couple of weeks.
5) When the initial upgrade rush dies down we’ll announce a formal launch date for all new customers.
6) Once that initial rush clams down, new features, new features, new features!
This launch is just the start of something really big. Other exciting upgrades are being worked on. With the R&D done, the infrastructure in place, and clients coming in, we can focus on rapid development and growing our company to benefit you even more.
Thank you,
John.
