Limiting The Number of Software Licenses
March 28th, 2006
Most of the feedback I’ve received so far about the WordPress Data Feed Import software has been very good, but at least 25% of the customers have written to ask or suggest that I limit the number of scripts that I make available.
Apparently, this is something that my customers don’t want it the hands of everyone under the sun. Very understandable, considering I didn’t plan to release the script at all.
This has been weighing on my mind a lot lately. I really want as many people to benefit from this product as possible and I love to hear success stories from customers.
It’s something I use myself and believe it could help quite a few people leverage the amount of time they spend actually building affiliate websites.
On the other hand, I certainly don’t want to create too much competition for myself or the other customers. There is a fine line between a healthy amount of competition and oversaturation.
My mind has pretty much been made up and I will be limiting the number of licenses I make available, but now it’s about finding that magic number. Maybe I should consult with my customers and see what they believe a fair number would be.
I know that poll will probably be skewed, but I’ll just take the average from all the responses. But, once this decision has been finalized, then I can truly start preparing for the launch process.
