Anyone that has worked the startup life before knows how different and difficult it can be and how important marketing and lead generation is to the survival of the company. Especially when you're first starting out, the win of a single customer could be what pays the light bill for the month or the loss of a single customer could be enough to put the company on life support. For those of you reading this who work at a startup, if there were a set of tips from a successful startup that would help you be a better marketer at your company, you'd want to know about it, right?

For those that are in the 3rd bucket, I can assure you that on this blog your email is held confidential (see my pledge to you on my Newsletter page). But, I can understand the hesitance to provide your email address especially since every big box retailer, restaurant chain or other business asks for your email address.

While catching up on my RSS feeds tonight, I came across a new cartoon from HubSpot. The title of this new cartoon is: "Facebook in Real Life: Throwing Sheep".

This past weekend I started re-reading David Meerman Scott's The New Rules of Marketing & PR. As you know from previous posts, I'm a huge fan of David because of his thought leadership in the space of inbound marketing. As I was reading I realized that I hadn't shared his keynote from the Inbound Marketing Summit with all of you. This keynote was excellent and definitely a "must watch".

This past Friday, the inbound marketing gurus over at HubSpot presented a webinar on How to Use Twitter for 
Marketing and PR. The webinar was hosted by their marketing team: Mike Volpe, Rick Burnes and Ellie Mirman. They covered a lot of the basics for using Twitter including how to get started, thoughts on personal vs professional use, how to measure and analyze activity, and some of the various tools and resources which can be used to extend Twitter. HubSpot has already posted the recording as well as the slide deck for the webinar. Also, Laura Fitton posted an excellent review as well as notes.
