Forum Fodder

  • Forum Question on www.InboundMarketing.com
  • Aaron: "Ive started blogging. Ive started tweeting. I have my facebook and linkedin profiles pointing in the right direction. Ive submitted my site to dmoz and a handful of industry directories. I have been contributing to several industry forums and communities, in addition to several seo forums (hubspot's included). I asked (pretty please) several other webmasters if they would be willing to link to me, whereas I write a nice article about them and return the favor from my blog.  I'm just curious if I am being as efficient as I could with my time and energy to make the most of things. Should I be going about this in a different way?"

Marketing Tip of The Week : Think about making product development more conversational, let your customers feel like they own the launch as much as you do.
