Wow. That is impressive. Few questions:

1. How long did it take to write the plugin? 2. How did you find your paid customers? From what I heard, most WordPress users don't want to pay for themes or plugins. 3. And why did you decide to sell it for that kind of high price? Were there troubles at the beginning because it was a free download before?

Thanks!

1. A few hours 2. Forums, blog sponsorships, PPC ads and holding #1 organic rank on all the relevant search terms 3. Sales were slowing and I lost interest in putting more into it, so I sold it while it was still valuable
