Were You Nervous When You Launched Your First Product?

Don't worry about it too much that you don't do it, it's more important that you get it out there. Chances are you will make mistakes, but just make sure to fix them right away. If have a problem with a customer, just make sure to take care of them and keep your reputation. For the most part people understand that issues arise, but try and limit the chances of things going wrong. Your reputation is huge on the forum, so keep it as good as possible.

Get feedback from buyers and make adjustments if needed. The WSO forum is a great way to get your product out there and get feedback.

The cool thing about the forum is that when you launch a product and keep your customers happy you are building a buyers list at the same time. Even if you don't have a huge success with it, it is something to build upon. Then when you launch your next product you have a base to start form and a list of happy buyers that can get the ball rolling on the new release. Do it over and over and you are building a larger group of loyal customers.

So, be concerned enough to make sure you keep everyone happy, but make sure to get it out there. Each time it should get easier and easier.

Good luck with it!

Greg, it was nerve-wracking to say the least. There will always be something you can tweak or improve before you launch your product, but it's truly impossible to get everything right.

The key is to launch it and then make corrections as needed. This is what marketing is all about, there is absolutely no way to predict with absolute accuracy how everything needs to be before you actually release your product. You need to have data and feedback before you can adjust things, so my advice is to just give it your best effort - correct any obvious, glaring faults that you can see before the launch, and then just go for it.

Be prepared to make swift adjustments and corrections once you get some results, and continually monitor your progress. It'll help tremendously if you view it as a journey and a process, instead of a static goal.

It was definitely a fun and rewarding experience for me when I released my first product. It'll get easier the more you do it, and you'll come to really look forward to doing it as well!

Thanks guys!

I'll be going over what I have with a fine toothed comb and then launch it and roll with whatever punches come my way. I'm waiting on a couple of Warriors to give me a wee bit of a critique but if I don't hear from them in a few hours I'm just going to launch it anyway. I just don't want to piss off the mods or break some rule I may have missed.

don't worry and don't get nervous if you know your product has good quality. You should be thankful if buyers and consumers give you feedback since you will know what they want and by next time you will know how you will approach them.

Yeah I was! But with your first product, just throw it up and see what happens, learn from your mistakes and then create your next one.

Today is just an extra day of anxiety because not only do I have to put up my first product but I have a meeting with a movie company agent that wants to option one of my comic books to a film project. These things happen often and are long drawn out processes. I look for extra income streams so I don't jump at their first offers. The longer I make them wait the more money and demands I can make. That's why I've done IM before and moved to the web.

I needed to hone my IM skills and came to WF. Now it's 1st product launching time!

No, If you trust in your product and believe it is a winner and it tells the truth throughout. It will be fine!
