Estimated Sale Numbers?

[Sadik B]

I was reading a post by Brian Cummiskey of VBSeo here. Interestingly he talks about what kind of business XF can generate and if it would make business sense for Crawlability to consider a XF seo solution.

Anyways, so reading his post got me thinking, what do you think the first day sale estimates of XF will be. ? 2000 licenses? 3000?

I have no idea on how sales will turn out, but I'll take a shot in the dark and say around 361 licenses will be issued in the first 24 hours.

The person closest to the actual figure, I will personally send them a license, FREE of charge. All I require is a small shipping fee of £200. Good luck everyone!

Haha, a shipping fee? What's wrong with email?

Emails are not safe, I will even go as far as sealing the envelope with a kiss? but that will be an extra £300 on top of the shipping fee.

My stupid opinion?
During the first day, more than 1000, less than 2000.

My email is safe. Nice offer but at the moment i'll have to give it a miss

I'm pretty sure that number will not be reached the first day, not even remotely

Now 200 first day? Possible.

That's anyway a lot of money.
Kier & Mike can hire an a couple of hundred of indian coders (ok i know, quality is better than quantity).

Maybe be about 500 for 1st sale day.Average 1 hour for 2 licenses as guess only.

Your numbers just don't add up, looking at your averages, they will sell 48 licenses.

Mr.President says.. 478. Period. And K&M should not come checking this thread again and again and start dreaming . Get back to your work boys, it will hit 1000s very soon, if not, i will sanction extra funds for your company.

I changed my mind

873 it is.

Oh, as busy , typo for missing a small zero.
It should rate 20 licenses per hr.

I know they'll sell at least one.

I still stick with my 10k/20k ballpark.

per hour

 

[cedivad]

per hour

In a planet where a day is composed of 120 hours.

Man, 10-20k is way to much... it's 1 to 2 M$... I don't think they will reach it during the first day

 

[Gravity]

I find this fascination with their results quite bizarre.

No doubt it will not enough to cover wages for the last x months of development, but hopefully it will be enough to tide themselves over whilst they build their customer base enough to keep them gainfully self-employed into the future.

I want some of the pills he's taking.

They are not releasing beta software in order to rack up sales, they are doing it to find bugs. I would hazard a guess that they don't really care how many sales they make in the first day, week or month. They are trying to build a stable release. Since there is no paid user base to leak a beta release to, they have to sell some licenses. It's not a great position to be in, as a developer, but that's life as a start-up for you.

It's simple folks, the answer is always 42

 

[Carlos]

Right now, there are 2,474 members registered. And hundreds of people online RIGHT NOW: 183 (members: 98, guests: 85)

What's holding them back from getting that 10k milestone? Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

Both as a business owner, and a marketer, you need to GUESS how many sales you're going to be pulling in.
