Llama Carbon Copy Sales and Core Customers

My backup software, Llama Carbon Copy, is getting off to a decent start at the end of the year. I have about 500 downloads, 2 sales and I've started to put together a group of testers and customers that are using the software on a daily basis. The last part is the most important. Customers are really good at telling you when they find bugs and when they want new features. I've put out 5 releases since late September, each of them incorporating things that the customers have specifically asked for. It is easy to motivate yourself when your customers are asking about features and promising to buy your software when those features get finished.

I cannot understate the fun that comes with making something for people who are waiting for it and happy to get it. Get some customers for your product as quickly as you can, they make all the effort worthwhile.
