Create a notify circle

What are the stages of the campaign:

1. Create interest and build a list (circle)2. Build anticipation3. Create even more anticipation4. Deliver the goods5. Re-deliver the goods in the same package6. Re-deliver the goods with more value

Before the campaign really begins:

1. *Build a circle*You can then notify this list of people when you launch

1st. Build a circle...

Or you can build a circle this way...

2. Build anticipation

You probably don’t need to be told but…BUY IMAGES YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO USE!

And yes, this is what a legal Yoda looks like.

Exactly.

3. Build even more anticipation!e.g. the morning of the campaign tell people again it is coming...

4. Launch the campaign

Notify your opt in list

13 March 2014 Google enabled embedded links to generate large images in posts - great for engagement!

Embedded links vs. Images

Social SEO and sharing links

Sharing with the embedded link means that:+1s are accumulated on the original blog post for a) the share from the Page, and b) for ALL OTHER public shares of that post.As such, you’ll see the +1 number really rack up.

5. Timezone reshare...

6. Then look to refresh the content/add value, and reshare the blog again - this will often give it a lift in Search.

The traffic...

Thank you!
