    Hi Majon, Depends. This is what you can do: Send a few email to all of your to-be-launched product users and other products users to prepare them for voting. Send final emails a day before launch and on the launch day. This should take no more than a few hours. Now, if that audience is low, you should try getting voters from other places too: 1. Set the target of votes you want (say 1k) 2. Collect leads (LinkedIn profiles, twitter profiles, etc. who you think would vote) 3. Ask them to see if they would be happy on launch day. The best way is to launch teaser and test them if they're pressing notify button. 3. Calculate the leads-per-time generation i.e. the leads generated during the time (mins or hrs) you spend on finding them to pressing the Notify button (say 5 leads / minute). 5. So, for 1k votes you need 1000 leads / 5 leads per min = 200 minutes or 8 hours. In other words, if you work 1 hr per day on this mission, and assuming luck favors you, you need roughly 1 week. Good luck!

    @naveed_rehman Thank you for your wonderful insights! However, I have a question about point 5 - why were the leads divided by 5 when they should have been multiplied?
