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.
2 Great SEO Tips You Need to Know + 1 More
Between yesterday and this morning, I heard 2 great SEO tips that I can’t help but share, plus, I’m going to remind you of another.
One Great SEO Tip:
This morning, I received my daily ProBlogger email as usual and inside was a blog post called, “Optimize a Single Post On Your Blog for SEO“.
The first SEO point of 4 was to find out which of your posts are ranked in Google’s 1st page (2nd-10th position) and then go back and optimize those posts to become #1 on Google. That is a simple but obvious idea that I hadn’t thought of directly before.
Protect Your Business By Increasing Security on Social Networks and Your Website
A well-known Denver speaker and coach (and very good person to her core!) called the other day out of sheer desperation and unknowing of what to do. Her “web guy” turned on her. A promise of building her website in 3 days for $200, turned into 3 weeks with little communication – meanwhile, enjoying his new $200 profit.
She attempted to get her money back via PayPal and not only did that not happen, but he found out and threatened to bring her down. He seemed to beam with pride in the past, she told me, when talking about how much he knew about coding and what potential he had to make or break someone.
Email List Building
Opt-in Newsletter Signup Box Examples
You’ve seen them all over… especially within the past year. Website owners are catching on that building a list of email subscribers is the most valuable online asset.
What Have We Learned?
- Make your Opt-In box *stand out* on your page. Visually direct your visitors on what you want them to do
- With everyone asking for your email, you’d better have a worth-while offer as incentive otherwise you won’t be getting many visitors. A newsletter won’t cut it anymore unfortunately.
- Don’t ask for too much information. A name and email (or email field alone) is all you need, and all your visitors are willing to give away.

Rocky Balboa’s Speech to Son
“It ‘aint about how hard you’re hit, it’s about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward – how much you can take, and keep moving forward!”
When I heard this, it was as if stars aligned and it all suddenly made so much sense. I’ve heard similar phrases and words, but this particular set sunk in deep down. Anthony Robbins taught me that at the most random time, you can hear something that will Awaken the Giant Within.
Learning How to Work With Challenging People and Situations in the Workplace
“The Grass Blows, The Wind Blows, and People Do What They Do.”
My mom told me that phrase when I was a little girl and it stuck with me all these years. Grass, Wind and People are some of the constants in life. You can’t change people. You can only accept them and learn to work or live with them as they are.
Google Personalization on Your Seach Results Plus How to Turn it Off
I don’t know about you, but I’ve already started to see the changes. More and more social networking links are climbing to the tops of search results for all sorts of keywords but more than that, Google’s “personalized search results” are kicking into affect.
“When possible, Google will customize your search results based on location and/or recent search activity. Additionally, when you’re signed in to your Google Account, you may see even more relevant, useful results…” – Google Support
