Product Pre-Release Success: Using Twitter to Kick-Off a Buzz Building Campaign


“Buzz Building” is an important part of any product sales campaign and today I’m going to teach you how to leverage Twitter in your favor. Remember the few weeks before the iPhone was release? Apple spent millions and million of advertising dollars to get the word out that a hot new phone – unlike anything else on the market – was about to release. They teased us in their promotions. They showed us many incredible features of the phone, accompanied by catchy music and smart marketing messages. Buzz Building is essential to a sales campaign because you’d want to start your sales off with a bang on Day 1. The results of Day 1 will carry you through upcoming weeks and months. All of that success truly starts with the pre-launch Buzz Building.

Amber’s March Madness: The Heat is On


March will be a very interesting month I have a feeling. After just getting over a cold, I have a renewed motivation to kick ass!

It’s in the air…do you feel it? The success wheel is turning and starting to speed up. Just this morning I got an email from a client:

Hi Amber:

I thought you’d like to know that someone bought the tomato growing guide today–my first e-book sale! How cool is that??

Thanks again for all your help!


So what’s on the agenda for March? Plenty!

I have some adjustments to my website that will be happening over the next couple of weeks. I always tend to get that itch to redesign a little every quarter. I have a new header being designed, I have a home page slideshow being created, and I’m ready to start a products page on my site now. InsightfulDevelopment.com has been the best side-project! I’ve so enjoyed seeing comments role in here and there, getting you interested enough to sign up to stay connected on my right sidebar, sharing my teachings with you…I want to continue to provide you with little tidbits here and there to help you grow right along side me.
