it’s just hard to find all of that time and
especially to schedule in stuff. But I didn’t
know Gary a week ago and I’m going to
be promoting him when he releases his
Twitter product, the Twitter SEO Academy.
So I think putting yourself
out there, I mean obviously
doing things as well for other people
really helps so if you see someone
needs something and you can
jump in there and help
them, then that’s a bonus.
So I think putting yourself out there, I

other people really helps so if you see

a bonus. A thing that really helps me
really early on and I still do it a lot now,
probably not as much as I should and I
really want to try and get back into it,
is to do connections and if you can do
the connector, you instantly get like if
you find someone, this guy has a Twitter
product, you know someone else who
has like a Periscope product for example,
and then you go “Hey, you guys know
each other” and you connect them
because in both of their eyes, you have
done a great thing. You’ve potentially
made both of them a lot of money and it
hasn’t cost you anything and so the more
you can do that and be the connector,
that can go a long way to actually
helping other people acknowledge
your product and make contact with
other people and also what you can do
is when you make a contact and then
you can say, “You should really meet
this person. They’ve done such and
such” and talk them up because a lot of
people work really hard and you want
people to acknowledge that. So you
say “This person’s awesome.” And then
after you’ve done the introduction, talk
to them and you say “Hey, do you know
of anyone that I should meet? Is there
anyone that you think I could benefit
from knowing? And not to pitch anyone
but I love connecting people. Is there
anyone that you can help me connect
with to do other connections?”
Carl Picôt: Alright. That’s excellent.
You’ve just given a wealth of information
there. In fact I remember doing a
couple of those videos myself actually
a few years ago to introduce myself
to people and they do work. I mean
I know that there was a bit of craze of
them at one point where marketers got
a little bit weary of them because a lot
of the IM coaches were teaching the
technique. But I think nowadays not so
many people do them and it’s nice like
you say that he did actually go out of
his way to find something out about you
and actually point out which list that the
product will suit. I mean that’s really,
really good because it shows you he’s
actually researched you as a marketer,
not just seen you as a giant email list, for
his product promotion. I mean there’s a
lot of things we could talk about there.
You mentioned about launch space
changing, the amount of products
released. I mean I’ve notice this myself
especially over the last year not just the
amount but actually the quality of the
products because I believe the industry
is maturing, and a lot of products,
especially software products, are very,
very good products. They must take a
