What’s On Your Internet Marketing 2012 Calendar?

Here’s something fun for 2012 - having your own calendar made. My partner at MyNichePLR, Pat Graham, and Mandy Allen have started a new business called Calendars For Marketers and I had them make me one.

You can see my very own 2012 internet marketing calendar here.

I think it’s a good way of letting people know some of my websites and products.
Now I’m hoping you can help me brainstorm what to do with the calendar.

I have the Word doc so I can add any info I want to the days. It could be instruction or informative… “January is plan your business month” or “May is marketing month, work on a different marketing approach each week” or ???

I could also add inspiring quotes on the 1st Monday of each month or ask them to take some sort of action every week.

• What info would you put in the days (keeping in mind this calendar is not for me personally, but to give away as something useful to my customers,clients,online friends)?

• What else could I, should I, do with it?

 

Tis The Season For Internet Marketing Kindness

I’m feeling the mood of the season. Are you? It’s the time of year people go the extra mile to be nice and giving.

I was wondering how to transition that to the Internet… how we could create a more thoughtful, kind, and giving environment in an internet marketing kind of way.

Here are some ideas I came up with, and I think it would be wonderful if you guys joined in with me and do what you can to make it a great day for others online.

  1. Comment on a blog you’ve never commented on before, and that you can see gets very few comments.

  2. Give away one of your products or a product you have rights to. Do it behind the scenes and don’t tell anyone else. This is about helping them, not bringing attention to yourself.

  3. Send an encouraging email to a new marketer you know is struggling.

  4. Send a complimentary email to someone who is a non-guru marketer stating how much you like: their product, their blog posts, their transparency, their writing style, their __fill in the blank__.

  5. Offer encouragement to someone who needs it on one of the forums.

  6. Give kind words on someone’s WSO in the Warrior Forum – someone who does top notch work that you are familiar with (don’t say you’ve seen that particular product if you haven’t).

  7. Give an unsolicited testimonial for a product you’ve purchased, liked, and used.

  8. Email someone from your list who has been an ardent follower and thank them.

  9. Do a blog post about someone who has really helped you in the past when they didn’t have to.

  10. Make a small product purchase from someone who is struggling financially.

• I’m challenging you and me to try and do these on a consistent basis through the rest of 2011. 
• I’d love for you to comment below and if you’ve got any happy Internet giving ideas or stories to share, I want to hear them.
  Warm fuzzies for all!
