Learn Product Marketing from Transformers Movie

Yesterday, I went to watch Transformers Part II (Revenge of the Fallen). Quite Frankly, I must say it was a job well done. Now from the preview, the movie was unpredictable. But the reason for me going to see it was not their preview, but it was their previous product, Transformers Original movie. Right now Transformers is at #1 in Box Office with 112.0 Million, and I will say the main reason is because they have loyal followers. So in this post I will share why they will have alot of sales in the second movie. Quality Product They have a quality product. Their first movie was so good that people rushed to see the second movie. Now second movie in itself was good, but without the first movie, it wouldn’t generate a buzz like it did.

In the ancient computer that serves as part of the Balkhis archives there is a folder. Its a folder that is opened hundreds of times over the course of a week and within it are projects too numerous to mention.

When we feel satisfied, we leave that interest behind and pick up a new one. We do this on and on ad nauseam until the end... (more...)

Consulting is a profession that a lot of bloggers do as a side job. I do it a little bit more than on the side because I have a number of clients that I am working with and ensuring that they rank well in search engines, giving them advices and suggestions as their business grow. If you consider yourself an expert in the industry or have a lot of experience in a specific industry then you should consider consulting. Consulting is just a few extra bucks, but you have to prove yourself to the client. I mean all you have to do is talk. You need to know how to present yourself to the client or a board of directors. Some people might think it is hard, but really it is not. I go by the following quote: “Just Stay one step ahead of your client.” You do that and you will be considered an expert. Companies hire me to present their idea... (more...)
