Advocates - What do they look like?

October 9, 2006

There is no perfect word in English to describe what you are trying to do with Buzz Marketing and Word of Mouth Marketing.  While I think that advocate is the closest word you can use, it does not quit peg it.  Evangelist is a good word, but not realistic for the majority of the people you are talking about.   The truth is, a lot of people caring enough to occasionally talk about you, link to you, mention you in print and refer someone to you is a really good thing.

With that in mind, I wanted to say thanks to this weeks advocates of Buzzoodle.  If I missed anyone, please let me know.

Advocacy is as simple as a link.  Take time to thank people who do little things to help you succeed.?

    Happy to do it Ron. Letting our clients know about you and your ideas is great for them, and bringing clients added value is why we blog in the first place.

    By the way, we’re itching to review your book on the show. What’s the latest on when you expect it to be released?

    Very close. I approved the last set of updates this weekend and in under 4 weeks it will be out once that last set of changes is complete. I found one last typo (Whcih means there are probably 10 still in there) and changed some formating.

    Thanks for asking and you will get a copy.
