The site is live, analytics are churning, Facebook page is created, Twitter is ignored (for now; haters gonna hate), LinkedIn is updated, and my own, sweet mother is promoting me. Someone knows somebody who knows a guy who needs a website, right?!
If not, I’m slowly learning to get myself in people’s faces to help strengthen that weak tie and secure the project. I have a tendency to assume I’m being annoying the second I try to pitch anything so looks like I’ll need some salesmanship improvements. Fortunately, I’m highly motivated by visible finish lines. One in particular is Facebook’s ‘Like’ goals on Pages. Turns out I need to rack up at least 30 ‘Likes’ to get analytics/detailed info on Page activity. Thanks, Facebook, for giving me a reason to spam my friends with requests! I can do 30 and not feel like a schmooze. I think.
Time will tell, but hopefully these initial pushes will cause people to think Stack Dog when someone brings up a website project. Somewhat like how most NY-based friends think of me when they see a Steeler logo. Is it too late to change the name to Steel Dog? Meh. If not website, maybe people will know where to find pics of a cute dog :)
Oh well..I’ll stick to building the bare minimums while I stare at the latest analytics graphs. Dangerously addicting. Till next time, folks! (Oh, and sorry if I continue to push you to ‘Like’ things; this too shall pass [as soon as you comply]).
