from Peggy Yu
Senior Manager, ISV Development,
Upload.com | Seems everywhere we turn these days, people are talking about the slumping global economy - but we at Upload.com are doing our best to help our software publishers weather the impact. Recognizing that a major concern for many of our Upload.com software publishers is increasing revenue in this less than desirable economy, we've made it one of our goals to help you increase sales. Do you have a paid version of your software? Do you want to increase conversion from free/trial users to paid users? If so, be sure to read further on in the newsletter about an exciting new opportunity being brought to Upload.com software publishers by our partner, TrialPay. And it's true -- the early bird catches the worm -- TrialPay is offering 2 bonus programs exclusively to Upload.com software publishers that will only be available for a limited time period. Want to get started now? Start here: http://trialpay.com/cnet Thanks to everyone who responded to our Twitter survey. I thought I'd share one particularly insightful quote from Andrew Hedges, "...You should be on Twitter. But, you should do it in a way that gives users access to people and information that would be otherwise difficult to reach (or that feels that way, anyway). It's important for it to feel personal. Otherwise, you're going to be ignored. I take it as a good sign that you're asking questions before you jump in!" It's feedback like Andrews's that help ensure we develop and implement programs and services that really resonate with you, our software publishers. Speaking of feedback, please take our survey below on the upcoming conferences - we'd love to know if you will be there. Finally, we have one important piece of housekeeping. Read below to ensure you are maximizing the traffic you drive to Download.com. Until next time, Peggy | Upcoming conferences survey: We'd love to meet you!
As we plan for the second half of the year, we are gearing up to see which of these many conferences will draw the Upload.com community and we'll make every effort to meet you all there. Click here to answer two simple questions.
Twitter survey results
First of all, thank you so much for helping us better understand what is important for you and your business by responding to our survey. We all seem to agree that while social media is a great outlet for engaging the end users and generating new business, deliberate thought and careful consideration must be used to effectively utilize this tool. Therefore, it was very important for us to see the varying degree of likes and dislikes of Twitter across our Upload.com community. Here is what your fellow Upload.com publishers had to say about Twitter:
| Over 50% of you wanted to hear most about new features and bug fixes. | | While not every one of you had a company Twitter account, a lot of you had personal accounts with some others disliking the idea of micro-blogging completely, finding Twitter to be a "fad" that will pass in time. | | 23% of you tweet a couple of times a month, 40% of you tweet at least once a week and 30% of you tweet at least 3 times per day. |
Now, that's a lot of tweeting for some people, but if you leverage the power of social media the right way, it can do amazing things you never thought possible. Again, thanks for sharing!
