Viral Marketing (Surfing the Middle East)

So we've been really busy finishing the Surfing the Middle East app (my iPad eBook) - and it will come out this January. We've also been getting the marketing seriously into gear.

As for the social media element of the marketing, we've been focusing on Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, Blogging the Casbah (and another blog that I'll talk about in a few weeks). Anyway, to get to the meat of the matter, I had a wonderful Facebook chat today with Erin Barrett, the expert helping me navigate the cruel vortex of Internet.

Part of our conversation:

Jesse: yeah, will do. I'm just getting the hang of it all now ... This whole project is so multi-skilled. Crazyness. What learning process.

Erin: Indeed. Brave new world and all that, eh?

Jesse: Just a new world for me - I'm getting into it all now. Everyone else--who knows the OLD WAY--seems to have a harder time "relearning"
I'm just learning.

Erin: Yeah, true.

Jesse: I'm really interested to see how this whole viral marketing gig pans out. Like if it really works, I could maybe train a chimp to tweet for me while I go surf or something.

Its a great Blog. This unique skill set is essential when attempting to engender trust and create a meaningful connection. These same sensitivities are kept in mind when creating our
Multicultural Marketing strategy.

Why thanks Samual. I like the word "engender" too!

Do chimps tweet?
Do pandas facebook?
Do elephants email?

NO.

But, Lions Linken . . .

So, go to it, engage the brave new world of viral virtual marketing.

In January. I will be looking for it.
