Marketing 101: Marketing Q&A

This entry is part 8 of 8 in the series Marketing 101

Hey there! Did you see I added a Facebook page? Check out the box in the sidebar, or just head on over to like me (please)!

We’ve gone through the very basic levels of marketing 101 so far in this series—but I know there’s a lot more in this area to cover, and I’m sure you have questions.

So today is question day!

If you have anything else you want to understand about branding, marketing strategy, tailoring your marketing strategy to you, or what marketing is, now is the time to ask!

But don’t worry, Marketing Mondays aren’t going away. Next week, we’ll start in on our first series on Marketing Tactics!

So, what else do you want to know about marketing?

Any final words (on suspense)?

Well, we’re winding down the series on suspense, tension and surprise. We’ve looked into assessing our stories, ratcheting up the tension and increasing the suspense. We’ve used lots and lots of resources (the most I have for any series), and I’ve talked a lot about things I’ve found in looking at my own work.

But, man, that still seems a little one-sided. I’d hate to leave you in suspense over your greatest suspense, tension or surprise issues—and I’d hate for all of us to miss out on the things you‘ve found to make your work better in these areas.

So, do you have any other questions or fixes on suspense, tension or surprise? (Comments and questions here may get “promoted” into posts of their own, so ask or share away—and be sure to put your link in the URL box!)
