BlogWild!

I love the title of the book I'm reading now." BlogWild!" by Andy Wibbels.

A guide for small business blogging. I totally agree with the authors view on how beneficial a blog is. I should redouble my efforts onto this blog.

Here are some gleanings from my readings:

I think my project has shifted towards a marketing perspective since I last looked at it carefully. it currently looks like a project with the title "How to standout from other small businesses using a blog platform." except, the title would be a lot shorter and catchier.

Since trying to organize and timeline my whole project, I realise I'm not too bad a planner, but I'm not a good follower of plans. I like to to handle tasks randomly, as I get the motivation for it. Having said that, I do not see that it would devastate the project as I have a feeling I'm working much faster this way.

This is the projected timeline that I came up with before

I am really proud of how the project is going. The project is also going to end up as a future business endeavour for me, so its a double stake. The company is in the midst of being set up and registering for trademarks and so on. I'ts all very very exciting, and I should not risk compromising the partners by giving away too much, but I will announce things properly when it's all in black and white.

However, the juicy details are , I will be flying back to KL malaysia in Mid June to meet some suppliers and also to Bangkok in early July. Talk about an expensive project , lol. but its worth it :)

How to write a Media Plan

Taken from Wikipedia Components of a media plan Define the marketing problem. Where is the business coming from and where is the potential for increased business? Does the ad need to reach everybody or only a select group of consumers? How often is the product used? How much product loyalty exists? Translate the marketing requirements into media objectives. Must the ad reach people in a wide area? Then mass media, like newspaper and radio, might work. If the target market is a select group in a defined geographic area, then direct mail could be best. Define a media solution by formulating media strategies. For example, the rule of thumb is that a print ad must run three times before it gets noticed. Radio advertising is most effective when run at certain times of the day or around certain programs, depending on what market is being reached.
