Sales is not an area of
expertise
 The invention is good
enough to sell itself
Sales doesn’t become
a focus of attention
until cash starts to
burn

FRAMEWORK Metrics
VIRAL MARKETING
Word of Mouth - simply tell their friends
Inherent Virality - User value increases when their friends sign up
Collaboration - Products benefit from having other users on them
Communication - you need the people you communicate
Incentives - Your users can earn rewards by getting their friends to sign up 
Embedding - new users are exposed to it
PUBLIC RELATIONS (PR)
      Traction through being talked about in the media
      When you reach out to a media outlet, you’re doing them a favor. You’re
giving them something to talk about, and possibly giving them the first go at
a story
UNCONVENTIONAL PR
      They mean anything you could do that would result in a huge amount of
publicity 
      No effort needed for it to spread, even if that publicity is negative
SEARCH ENGINE OPTIMIZATION (SEO)
      Good search engine optimization (SEO) means free traffic for your
keywords
      you need to figure out what types of things your ideal customers would
be searching for
SEARCH ENGINE MARKETING (SEM)
      These are the ads that you see above and alongside search results
      
      Suggesting certain sites related to the keywords you plugged in that
might not be the top ranked sites
CONTENT MARKETING
      Is the process of creating content that your users and customers would
be interested in
     There are variety of ways you can publish content, including:
- Blog posts related to your field
- Informational guides
- Videos explaining certain concepts or answering questions
- Downloadable ebooks or PDFs
SOCIAL AND DISPLAY ADS
      The benefit of advertising on social networks is that it will let you target
your ads with greater specificity than on Google or another search engine
      
      certain demographics, interests, pages people have liked, and more,
which you can’t do on a search engine
EMAIL MARKETING
      The stats show it: email is the most effective way to re-engage your
existing users and customers
      Don’t sell too hard in your emails, balance them between useful
information and calls to action
ENGINEERING AS MARKETING
      You can use engineering projects that provide value to your target
market to draw new users or customers to your site
      
      This is any web service, app, or free tool that offers value to your target
market for little or no cost
TARGET MARKET BLOGS
      If you can build strong relationships with bloggers in your niche, then
they’ll be more likely to reference you and your product
      Make sure you return the favor though. If a blog is letting you post on
their site and they’re talking about you, then you should make an effort to
share your audience with them as well
