“You can be controversial, contrarian, outrageous, slightly disagreeable, or just a tad-too-opinionated.” Or, you can just be your self.

Do you remember the last song and scene in Bugsy Malone? All these great child actors singing, “We could have been anything we wanted to be.”

A delicious post modern moment. Kids not even teenagers singing that.
Anyhow, we grown-ups can be our selves right now. Everyone is interesting.

When the mind, heart, and tongue all agree…

Great post Dan. You should have gotten a lot more links and comments on this one. Maybe your “crowd” is too cool to publicly appreciate it.

Being new to online marketing, I did a fair amount of searching and Dan’s article hit the right notes. I will post to see if it helps get the desired results.

3 Tips for Marketing to Zombies:

- Make yourself heard. If they don’t know you’re there, they’ll never come looking for you – or for whatever you’re promoting. An ‘elevator pitch’ is a good start; panicked screams are even better.

- Show off your brain a little. Share what you know; be clear and articulate. Or just let them spot you outdoors.

- Put up a small barrier to entry. Seth Godin demonstrated this technique in his Triiibes launch, requiring preorder of a book, sight unseen. For zombies, boarding up windows and doors with drywall is an ideal tactic: it clearly says “brains inside” but is easily punched, battered, or chewed through.
