It’s been crazy 24 hours for the Productive Magazine! Just in the first 24 hours more than 4,000 people have downloaded our magazine and the response has been great so far, looking forward to more blog posts and tweets. Hope you can help us spread the word even more!

When I launched #2 of the magazine, I thought it’d be cool to beat the issue #1 2x times and reach a total of 60K downloads… and although we’re still far from the goal, we’ve beaten the first 24 hours of the first issue 4 times, as the first issue was downloaded “only” 1K times during its first launch day

Please help us spread the word to achieve our goal of 60K downloads! Thanks!

And if you didn’t get your copy of the magazine, download it now it’s only 2.5 MB and it’s free!

Here are the handful of blogs that helped so far:

• Stepcase Lifehack
• Nozbe blog
• Did I Get Things Done
• Qlubb
• Antyweb
• DuTudu
• My personal blog
• and many many Twitter users….

I invite you to follow me on twitter, blog and tweet about the magazine and help us spread the word! After all we’re doing the magazine for your, for free and we’re hoping you’ll find it useful. Thanks!

I’ve asked the readers who signed up for the Productive Magazine mailing list this simple question:

Would you recommend Productive Magazine to a friend?

Here’s just a handful of answers I got:

Not only did I download it, I made everyone I work with at the Magazines download it as well.

Super work you produced. Great job! I will recommend highly.

a resource that I simply have to pass on to all of my Productive Entrepreneurs

Many blogged about the magazine, no wonder we got 20.000 readers in just the first week and the downloads are still going strong… although a little slower every day…

And would you also recommend our magazine?

Please let me know in the comments and send this link to anyone you’d recommend it to. You can also digg this link on digg.com

P.S. Later this week I’ll be announcing what’s to be expected in the second issue so make sure you’ve subscribed our RSS feed or you’ve signed up to the mailing list.

When we launched the magazine I was hoping for a great reception from the “productivity blogosphere” and I was dreaming of reaching a goal of 10K downloads total of the first issue of the magazine. When in the first 24 hours passed with exactly 1000 downloads, I was very optimistic about our goal… but I never expected this:

That’s right, in a little over a week (a week and a few hours) 20K busy professionals downloaded our first inaugural issue of the Productive! Magazine and the counter keeps on running!

Today is Thanksgiving so it’s a perfect time to THANK YOU MY READERS for contributing to this success!

Let me assure you we won’t fail you and deliver an even better issue #2 of the Magazine. You can expect it in January 2009. We’re already working on it.

Happy Thanksgiving!

P.S. Make sure to recommend Productive! Magazine to your friends and family. After all, everyone wants to be more productive, right?

Exactly 24 hours ago we’ve officially launched the first, inaugural issue of the Productive Magazine.

This has been a great launch day. I never thought being an editor of an e-magazine would be so much work… but then again this is great fun and a rewarding experience. I’ve approached many people about the magazine and I’ve been approached by many great people… and we’re already starting to build a lineup of articles for the next issue… and I already know who will be featured on the cover of next Productive Magazine

(but I won’t reveal this jus yet…)

More than 1000 people (and counting) have downloaded Productive Magazine in the first 24 hours.

I think it’s a great achievement… provided that almost nobody knew Productive Magazine existed several days prior to the launch date!

Here’s just a bunch of people who kindly helped spread the word about the magazine, some of them include:

• Guy Kawasaki tweeted about it
• Chris Pirillo sent a FriendFeed status
• Testeq announced it on the David Allen forums
• Leo Babauta blogged about it on ZenHabits
• Steve of Change your Thoughts blogged about it
• John Kendrick also blogged about it
• Ades also wrote about it
• as well as Flippingheck
• and yours truly on the Nozbe blog and my personal blog

Hope you can help us spread the word even more, I’ve received lot’s of emails from people thanking me for the magazine and that’s why I’d like to thank everyone who helped and blogged about it and who contributed (thanks guys!), as well as Maciek “Mediafun” for putting it together so nicely.

Some of the feedback I’ve received:

it looks really well done - it certainly wouldn”t be out of place on the shelves in my local newsagent

You won’t find another magazine as chock full of productivity tips as this one.  And these articles were written by top bloggers and productivity experts from around the world.

The magazine is in PDF format but looks like a professional magazine and it’s obvious that Michael and his team has put in a lot of time and effort into producing this.  It’s not your normal PDF download.

Congratulations! You’ve done a terrific job on the mag.

This looks really fantastic. Very nice callout to Marc there, he was a real inspiration to me

Anyway, keep the feedback coming and I’ll keep the counter running. Share the magazine with the world and I’m sure your colleagues, friends and family will find some great info in there.

Again, I’d like to highlight that the Productive Magazine is a tribute to the loving memory of Marc Orchant - a great blogger and productivity role model. The magazine is sponsored by Nozbe - your tool for getting things done.

Hope the Productive Magazine will make a great weekend-read
