Shhh… Do you hear that? Yeah, me neither. If you want to avoid launch failure and the crickets, follow these easy steps to create a buzz about your newly launched site.
1) Check, Check, and Check Again
I can’t tell you how many internet users shy away from websites because of failed image loads, broken links, and/or internet browsers displaying the content wrong. It is so important to do a thorough check of your site to assure the functionality and display (check in multiple browsers) is working correctly. These are such simple and minute errors, but can cause a major toll on your users experience, causing them never to return. So please, take your time and make your everything works fine and dandy. It’ll be worth it. I promise.
2) Tell People
Tell your friends, tell your family ,tell your neighbors… just tell people. Oh, and why you’re at it, maybe you can have them tell people. You never know what type of spark can come from this. Word of mouth is still one of the best forms of marketing to date. Take advantage of it.
