Advanced Guerrilla Marketing: NDAs Are For Noobies. Why I Announce New Apps Publicly First

I actually do hope people steal my brilliant app or product ideas and try to compete. I'm the guy that has all the relationships. I'm the gate keeper. Here's how I built that positioning:

You can't shoot your enemy without the cops hearing about it. You can't connect with your audience without your competitors hearing about it.

I publically announce that I'm building an app or new product as the FIRST thing i do. SEE: Gmail CRM App and Software: Automatically Remind Your Clients and Email Recipients To Reply To Your Gmail

That way, it

1. scares off any small competitors

2. tells big competitors to keep an eye on me and start the buy out paperwork

3. start collecting thousands of email addressses of people who want to be alerted when it's ready.

Will it give others a bright idea and will it create more competitors?

Yes... but when they build their app and nobody downloads it (because they just don't have the contact reach into their target user base), then they will remember that I have a massive list that they never built. They will come back to me and offer to sell out for pennies.

PS... I love how Solomon put it (I'm not even religious), "Where the power of the bull is missing, the manger is clean."

In other words, If you don't want to deal with bull-shit, just plan on not farming. =)

Gmail App: How to Email All Your Contacts a Newsletter or Just A Hello Note...

I know I drop the ball. I get about 120 emails a day. And I know I don't get back to everybody. After about a year, I'll have another 2,000 email addresses in my contacts and I won't be able to stay in touch with them. What a shame.

So, I fixed the problem.

Now, I can stay in touch with everybody in my Gmail contacts. 

Sure, there's the temptation to abuse what I'm about to show you to send all your contacts a newsletter advertising your business, products, or service... don't. Seriously. Don't.

Here's why:

1. Nobody reads newsletters.

When was the last time you did?

2. Even if you opted in and you remember the sender when you get their email, you still don't read the newsletter.

That's because nobody reads newsletters.

3. You can still present them with all your news without sending a newsletter.

How To Email News Without Sending a Newsletter

What I do is send a message that 100% of my recipients will open. And 100% of them will open it because they will know it's a personal email I sent them.

4. By law, if you send a newsletter, you have to include an opt-out link. 

That makes you look like a bottom feeder scummy mlm person. I know. I have CEOs of known companies spam me all the time after a brief email exchange. How's that for abusing trust and my relationship?

But with a personal email, you don't have to do anything unusual. You just have to do this:

Gmail and Email CRM Tracking App or Software to Manage Replies and Unique Urls

I get about 200 emails a day. That's because I have 3 different business strategy blogs and 2 different youtube channels on ecommerce guerrilla marketing and viral marketing strategies. Like you, I respond to the short emails as soon as possible and the longer emails take till I have a moment to reply.

Problem is, that moment may not come till 3 days later.

I need an iPhone / Android app or Google Chrome app that alerts me if 

A) I haven't answered an email in 24 hours

B) My gmail recipient hasn't responded in 48 hours

Sure. Not all answers need responses. So I'm thinking that I need three different levels of qualification:

1.List of A and B above where I click a button saying "RESPONSE NEEDED."

In the case that I forgot the simple task of clicking that extra button, an automated method that catches 99% of the exceptions:

2. List of A and B above where the last email message contains a question mark, "?"

Lowest priority of all,

3. List of A and B above where the last email message contains any of the words, "who, what, where, when, how, or why."

This way, I don't have to keep breaking up my flow to add people to my CRM software like ACT or SALESFORCE.

Putting a star by an inbox email just isn't enough. I need stronger features.

So, I'm building it. If you want to be notified when I'm done, just put your name on our contact form: and mention "email manager"

If you want to partner with us or "invest your energies" in building and marketing in the app, please do the same thing -- click above.

Cute Clever iPhone App Concepts That Are Real

https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/accent-detector-free-prank/id590829844?mt=8

"I can't think of anything to invent."

Is probably the most common excuse you use to justify not having made something remarkable. But remember, remarkable is totally in the eye of the beholder. All you have to do is amaze and surprise your immediate audience and you've got something that broke up their day -- something remarkable.

Well, https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/accent-detector-free-prank/id590829844?mt=8 does just that.

At first, I thought, "kids will love this. It's like a iPhone app magic trick!"

But then, I thought, no. The entrepreneurs will also love this as it opens up a whole new way of thinking of disruptive technology. In it's purest IA sense, what "Accent Detector" does is

1. automates communication

2. leverages human cognition

How to Invent

While we're all trying to make an app or product that does something like Google: simulates human search decision making via a complex algorithm, Manol took what humans to best and simply automated the delivery of the result.

Think about what this means as far as

1. language translation

2. crowdsourcing design / art selection

3. transportation and delivery

You don't have to make your app or product replace a human. You just have to make a human more joyful doing what they do best.

Learn Three Reasons Why Facebook Sucks From Poor Privacy to Growth

Top Three Reasons Why Facebook Sucks

Using online social networks to keep in touch with friends, family and business associates can be beneficial and for some, even addicting behavior. For those who are interested in the reasons why one should not join online networks such as Facebook, there are plenty to choose from that can deter anyone from registering and signing up themselves.

• Privacy Matters
A major reason why Facebook sucks is its issue with user privacy and the ability to search nearly anything on a user within an instant. Unless the registered user has manually set all of his or her own privacy settings to stop others from viewing their profiles, seeing their interests and even getting their contact information, the information remains public and is visible even by those who are not friends of the user. Privacy issues also arise from Facebook now being a public company with shareholders, giving other businesses access to information regarding users including advertising insight, virtual "likes" and shares", interests and even the friends that each member has on the network. Setting privacy on one's account must be done manually to ensure that all of the sharing, updates and even photos of the user on Facebook is entirely hidden from those who are not within their group of friends or personal acquaintances online.
• Employment Issues
For those who have an account that is public on Facebook but may not realize this, it can often deter employers who are seeking to hire a new employees, especially if photos and updates on the user's Facebook are inappropriate or unsettling to the potential employer. Not being hired due to a Facebook profile is not only invasive to one's own privacy, but it is quick way to lose out on potential job and career opportunities that could have otherwise been extremely beneficial to the user. Ensuring all privacy settings are updated and that one's page is appropriate and without any potential offensive or belligerent behavior is the only want to prevent the chance of being denied a position due to one's account.
• It's a Fad
Although currently Facebook is the most popular social network across the globe, many marketers predict that it is simply just another fad that will slow down and essentially "die off" when something bigger and better comes along. Facebook sucks as a fad because of the hype that it is extremely valuable to advertisers and companies looking to gain more insight into users and their activity each day.

Using Facebook may be ideal for those looking to stay in touch with long-lost relatives and friends from the past, but it can also be truly invasive and in some cases, it can negatively impact your chance for a career in any field you are interested in regardless of your skills, education and qualifications
