One of our clients is blogging

Hey, how about that. One of suggestions is bearing fruit. Steve Tuck over at Datanomic is blogging. Look forward to getting some feeback to see how it adds to/changes the marketing mix over at Datanomic.

If a job's worth doing . . .

Seth does it again. Here he is being interviewed about email marketing:

The reporter didn't like the answer I gave her about how to build a email marketing list. I told her that the first step was to offer something in your email newsletter that people would actually want to read. That the second step was to promise people exactly what you intended to give them. And the third step was to create content that was so remarkable that people wanted to share it. I explained that if you take your time and keep your promises, it'll build if it deserves to build.

Repays re-reading several times, though I still have to let it really sink in – especially with regard to this blog and the real reason for doing it. I say take his advice to heart for doing any task. Yes anything – from doing some design work to making dinner. Good advice for anyone deciding what to do with their lives too.

Calling all estate agents

No not f**k off and die mothef**ker, but a request. The old pad in Camden is on the market so I'm going to be flat hunting again soon. What I'd like is RSS feeds to properties I'm interested in rather than email listings. Hey, get them squirted into my phone and I'll call straight back to arrange a viewing if the right one pops up. Might as well get gazumped sooner rather than later eh?

Talking of realtors, Seth points the way to an interesting post on commission versus hourly rate fees. Any estate agent in Cambridge reading this might want listen to Seth. He 'knows' you know.
