Magazine approach

What magazines do segments read? What are effective channels to getting a write-up within these publications?

HOW are segment users using the Time Log – get a testimonial from a user (Manditron, etc) describing their usage

Working with Aparna and Jon

Craft PR with customzed messages for different segments and strategies to approach different editors.

What’s the appropriate vector to get these messages into editors hands in a compelling way?

SEGMENTING

By USAGE versus DEMOGRAPHC, ie:

  • Journal
  • Walkie-talkie
  • Bookmarklet

Create a VALUE PROPOSITION for each usage type:

  • determine the primary usage behavior for each segment
  • Create a VALUE PROP specific for that usage type

Trigger Phrases

Develop good, segment-specific TRIGGER PHRASES to grab attention in the subject lines of emails to editors, bloggers, etc

Business Plan

BPs are a format – choose the medium that makes the most sense

MILESTONES section of the BP – is as slose to coding as the BP gets.

  • fxns – what do I do?
  • Arrays – all of your segments
  • Variables – each segment is a variable, etc

EVERNOTE

REVISIT the Evernote online beta and assess

What are differences? Is Evernote only for the tech-savvy? TimeLog is not!

AUTORESPONDER FOR TIMELOG

WRITE several tips (7 – one for each day of a week following sign-up?)

These can be auto-sent to new users on a daily basis following sign-up (too invasive? What’s a good number of messages?)

MetaNotes specific

Good marketing tactics:

  • Find bloggers who have interests
  • Set up scratch MN pages on their interests
  • email the links to them – how can you not check out a link which was created especially for you?

Metanotes Marketing

Can be as simple as sending people to segment specific landing pages – ie undergrad girls can check out Sararah’s profile page, musicians can check out brenly’s page

Or we can have several demo landing pages specifically designed for each segment (and sub-segment) we’re targeting
