About a year ago we worked with a company to launch a membership website… and the first week of the launch brought in a total of $147,000.

It was not due to luck, lies or magic.

We’re trying to get our SXSW panel voted in… where we go over exactly what steps it took to create the following, buzz and ultimately the frenzy that it took to generate such a successful launch.

This has nothing to do with the product at all, but the plan that went in place to launch it. When we set the plan in motion we knew it would have an effect on the number of people who would be excited to “buy now” during the launch, but we actually were unprepared for how well it worked.

It was so successful that there were actually people who hacked into (it was hidden behind a password) the purchase page the night before the sale so they could pay their money and make sure they didn’t miss out on the launch sale.

Please click the link below to vote for our panel to be included in SXSW 2010, and we’ll tell you all about it when we see you there!
