App Store Milestone: $10K

I handed out about 200 cards that weekend and there were about 3 people that scanned the QR code and bought it on the spot (right in front of me... now THAT was cool).

Keep in mind that this is 95% women in this industry, so I didn't expect them to be as "tech savvy" than if I was at a computer conference or something.

I believe that the personal touch of saying, "I built this for someone like you" has a HUGE impact on how people feel about your brand and your app.

Ah, so the code sent someone's iPhone directly to your link in the App store?

Almost... it sent them to my linkshare link that then forwarded them to iTunes (which opens the App Store app on a device). So i gained back that 7% of revenue from Apple that my linkshare referral program gives me. Sneaky, huh?
