discuss How to Launch a Brand

[NickB]

not sure if this is in the right section.....

I have a site under construction and I am starting to look at ways that I will be able to generate interest and traffic once it goes live.

I have listed some ideas below, this is my first site so I would love it if people with more experience can share their knowledge.

So if anyone has any more ideas or online resources to share please do so!!

1. Create a launch plan
2. Create a pre - launch landing page teaser with email capture form
3. Create a short pitch that be read (and spoken) very quickly
4. Making sure you have enough content (video and written) on the site when it goes live
5. Have a backlog of content that is ready to go
6. Making sure the site is well designed
7. Have a sharing page
8. Make sure to create a buzz through your own social media channels
9. Reach out to influencers in your industry - bloggers, website owners, Facebook groups, LinkedIn groups and Twitter accounts
10. Ask for guest posts, comments or videos
11. Run an email campaign
12. Reach out to friends and family

I look forward to any comments, suggestions and links that you are willing to share!!

Thanks
