Preparing for Launch

by Peldi Guilizzoni. April 18th, 2008 under Branding / Marketing, Links — 3 Comments

Doing my homework in preparation for launch:

• Press for Startups: 10 tips
• 17 Tips For Getting Bloggers To Write About You
• The Art of Sucking Up
• Five Wrong Ways to Pitch RWW and One Great Way
• 12 Things Not to Do When Pitching a Story to Mashable
• and of course I re-read a couple of chapters of Getting Real

Btw, I’m not sure about when to have the “launch day” yet, it will be sometimes in the 2nd half of June.

Update: I found some more links on the subject that might be useful:

• Thoughts on product launch promotion
• Marshall Kirkpatrick’s delicious list on the topic
• PR Tips For Startups: How To Get And Keep The Media Attentio

   Hi Peldi – have you contacted indiestartups.com? He posted on Twitter earlier: If anyone has a self funded startup (or knows someone) that could do with some coverage @jonwheatley me. Doesn’t have to be launched yet.

   Good luck I liked the web version of mockups. Having some trouble with the desktop version.

   Thanks David, I’ll tweet him. Let me know what troubles you’re having with the desktop version!
