Step Eight:
A. Run to the Finish
We are technically in alpha test phase. Nur has been sending regular app builds and we have been putting it to the test trying to break it or find issues that need tweaking. Of course passing it off to our 3-year-old mini-testers is part of that too.
Not much else to say here except this is when it gets pretty exciting. We begin to see all our hard work coming to fruition as the app comes alive with all its fun animations and interactions. It puts a smile on our faces.
B. Get the Word Out
As with all products, it may be the greatest, but if no one knows about it, how can they buy it?
I've subscribed to HARO (Help A Reporter Out) to receive requests for queries from reporters needing qualified input for articles being developed. I've done one interview with Alice Walton, associate editor for TheDoctorWillSeeYouNow.com. She was fascinated by my story of beating genetic cancer with my diet.

Hey, Chris! It was great hanging out with you at Lori's today. I see why you were gushing over Kate's illustrations--they look perfect for your story! It's so exciting that you're so close to your app being ready. Best of luck!
ReplyDeleteHey, Tahlia! Thanks for checking it out. I spent the afternoon finishing the book trailer with the producer, Jagster Productions. Just a few more looks by my team and I'll have it up for all to see.
