Really dumb marketing

It's not rocket surgery, people...

Hello, I’d like to take a moment today to talk about how to be a drastically unwise marketer.

First, any time anyone puts a comment on your site, sign them up for your newsletter.
Second, send out this community letter announcing a neat new contest if people review your product, service, or community. Make sure to include editorial and SEO guidelines (aka: Be sure you use the words I’m Promoting This Thing at least a couple times in your review.)
Third, offer prizes for the “best reviews of this product, service, or community. Oh, wait, sorry, not prizes. Those are “1st price”, “2nd price”, and “3rd price”. An individual who apparently makes their living as a freelance writer misspelled the word “prize”.

Keywords: | rude people | marketing | idiocy |
