First, I’d like to thank all those who voted in the poll a week or so ago… regarding topics you’d like me to cover sooner than later. It wouldn’t be a usual blipfish day if everything was cut-and-dry so, I shouldn’t be surprised that when the votes were tallied… it was a roughly 3-way tie. To that end, the three most requested topics were: Press Releases, Website Stickiness, and Co-Venture deals (oooh, don’t they sound un-exciting when typed together like that?). Have no fear – they really are interesting topics and I can see why they were chose. Press Releases are a powerful tool toward gaining interviews and publicity; Site Stickiness is important because it means gaining and maintaining visitors (and repeat visitors!); and Co-Venture deals, as drab as it sounds, is also interesting: it’s all about combining forces with someone else, for mutual benefit, to take a business or project to a new level.

So, I now know what you want to hear about soon and I promise I’ll oblige.

Along these lines is another note I wanted to make. I know that some people are anxious to hear about one of those topics very, very soon (you’ve been very patient)… Press Release. In particular, the interest is in using PR’s to help, somehow, in improving sales to their online POD stores. Well, the good news is that I’ll make that my first article-priority.

It also speaks to my final note. In the spirit of sharing and spreading the support I’m preparing either an article or mini audio tutorial on PR’s (specifically aimed at POD/online retailers) to be available soon (“soon” measured in days, not weeks). There will be a nice twist to this and I’ll make the announcement when the time comes – but I can’t say much now. However, it has everything to do with providing you with more, great information and resources to help your business grow.

Alright, it’s time for me to get my nose back to the grindstone. As you might have noticed I might be slow in producing articles but I hope it’s obvious I’ve been working “behind the scenes” on new features for blipfish.com – most notably building up video and audio features.

So, rest assured I’m not resting – just working in the behind the coffee cup.
