We all know that one person can not change the world, not even Al Gore, but if that one person goes and talks to winz and recruits a couple hundred unemployed Arts graduates, then that one person is 101 persons and they can perhaps not change the world, but do a damn good job of letting the world know where they were.
What would you and your minions do? Well…
- some minions would investigate the search engine optimisations for the web site and also the competition, there are tools for all these types of tasks, so it should take long.
- some minions would surf the web using some target market demographics supplied to the company. posting comments to blogs that are of interest to people that are involved in the company. each minions role would be to find and track 100 blogs relating to target demographic.
- some minions would write blogs for the company, releasing teasers of product releases and company involvement in the community, either real or cyber… we aren’t picky these days.
- some minions would be looking for social networking groups on applications like Facebook, Orkut, MySpace, Hi5… Bebo, we’d have open social applications to help us pinpoint likely supporters of our movement.
- and some minions would go to market and purchase coffee and beers, depending on what time of day it was!
Who would be interested in joining my social minion marketing army? Sounds like a pretty cool job to me!
Update: This was idea 6,not 7… also I don’t mean any offense to BA grads, I was only joking… the idea would be lucky to get such recruits on board. Also, it is likely that such idea would be very easy to run and monitor in a distributed remote structure… as it is already done for things like digging, stumbling etc.
