By SendPay Business · · 2 min read

Your own web address
  1. Search for the name you want
  2. Pick the one you like
  3. Your site goes live on it

Launch day is not about going viral. It is about getting the people who need your app to try it once, and making that first try go well. Here is a plan for the week before, the day itself and the week after.

The week before

Get everything ready so launch day is about people, not fixing things.

Questions people ask

When is the best day to launch?

Pick a day when your people are around and online, and when you are free all day to answer questions. For many communities that's a weekday evening or a weekend, not a busy work morning.

Should I run adverts on launch day?

Not at first. Posts in groups your people already trust, and personal messages, bring in better first users than adverts.

Is there a step-by-step plan I can follow?

Yes. The free launch checklist takes you from picking your people and naming your app to setting fees, going live and winning your first ten customers.
