What can I say... other than WOW! The free CD promotion in just 7 days gave almost 2000 CD's away. The first few days were manageable and then BAM= We were receiving orders at a rate of almost 1 per minute. Then the huge backlog ensued. When we took the website down on the weekend, we thought there would be some CD's left. Then, by Tuesday of this week, we performed an inventory and realized that we were sold out early Saturday, June 6.
Based on web traffic and other factors before the promotion, I figured it would potentially take a month to give the CD's out. We had lined up some businesses to help shipping and promotion starting in July. They were shocked that we already sold out and now really want to work with us in the future when we do more promotions!
BUT... when checking out the server logs, cafemom.com was all over the place! Doing more research, I found out my friend from college posted an entry on her account there, and like wildfire, it spread the forums and landed on journals. In fact, the response was so huge that when googleing "chad beall", an amazing journal entry about my music was posted and landed on #3 in the search! WOW! Just in case it ever moves down in the ranking, here is the journal entry. (I hope "Lb128f" doesn't mind me linking to her article 
I don't have an account and I haven't been able to get to the orders to search for her.
What can I say? I am extremely blessed and am excited to hear more from all of those who ordered the CD's. I am planning on writing everyone back that sent me a personal message as soon as I can as well.
A huge thank you goes out to cafemom.com and my friend Kristi for posting there and ultimately, it leading to a wildfire of responses from amazingly awesome individuals that I hope I can get to know better. A thank you also goes out to everyone that helped, especially my parents and girlfriend for putting in long hours with the crew to get the CD's out as quickly as possible. Below is a picture that was taken of me after working on orders long into the night where I grabbed some tape and put it over my mouth... then my girlfriend decided to draw a nice look onto it. Enjoy!
