Latest update from PixMeUp. Read and be amazed.
"Hello PixMeUp Team,
What an Incredible day!!!! When we opened up the flood gates at 2pm pacific time today over 10,000 people tried to buy an ad all at the same time. To give you an idea of what that means... We have super sized beefed up servers and access to unlimited band width, we just pay for what we use. When we get to the point where we do 1000 - 5000 new sign ups a day we will have no problems ever, in fact we'll run just as fast if only 10 people signed up in a day. But when 10,000 - 12,000 people try to buy ads all at the exact same moment... I think you get the point. When my programmers were there saying I can't believe this is happening, I put my hands in the air, I was so proud. WE LOCKED UP A RACKSPACE DEDICATED SUPER COMPUTER! They said it couldn't be done and we did it.
So everyone understands our hosting plan for PixMeUp, we've gone from $120 a year hosting to $600 a month hosting to $1500 a month hosting all in under 60 days and it will probably go up again very soon because of band width. Our hosting for the new Back End Members Area is $10,000 monthly. We are only getting the best for all of you!!!
At the same time I must admit I was a little worried, but they (Our Programmers) told me it was going to be fine we just needed to slow the buying frenzy. There is a difference between traffic to the site and transactions on the site. So we decided to make the purchase date and time dated for when you signed up for your rep site so there wouldn't be such a mad rush.
Everything now seems to be running smooth and about 2000 people bought ads today but we know there are still another 8000 - 12,000 people trying to get their ads in by the cut off of Tuesday Jan. 24 at 2pm pacific time. We have plenty of time.
There were also a few bugs that have been fixed, some people don't relize it but you can pick which page your ad goes on. There is a drop down box when your on the page to pick your pixels. Click which page you want and it will take you there.
We weren't able to have the automation in place by the time we opened up at 2pm so ads aren't showing. Customer Service was working (On Sunday) but we didn't want to try to go into the system because it was already bogged down with everyone trying to buy. Ads will be getting activated in the morning and the automation will be in place soon.
To touch on Customer Service...They have been working literally around the clock for all of you and have cleaned up a big mess that got created by all of you being to good at what you do before we could get all of our systems in place. We've had to design technology on the fly that doesn't exist, that's why we aren't scared of compition. They have no clue what they are getting themselves into. lolol But our Customer Service has been busting it for you and have done an unbelievable job.
DON'T send emails thanking them yet, wait until everything slows down, then show them a ton of love, they all deserve it.
We'll have the regular call schedule tomorrow and all this week. You can see it in the news section if you are one of the almost 2000 new people to sign up today. (Different from the 2000 ads that were bought.)
Let's make it a great day tomorrow and we'll see you on the calls.
Thanks
The PixMeUp Team"
