Hey guys, Just like to share with you all what we're doing to publicize k9athlete.com and ask for feedback and additional suggestions.
It's not rocket science, but I thought it might be of interest to some on this list and thought that some of you might offer some good feedback. We're hitting facebook rather hard right now. --- Created Facebook Page --- Created a page for the site (which for some reason is not being found in searches, but that is another matter. I've posted development screenshots and informative articles from the site on the page and we currently have 61 fans. Not a lot, but not bad either for still being a totally closed development site. --- Created Facebook Application --- We're creating a facebook Application, Dog Sport Team of the Week that will highlight outstanding dog sport performances and allow facebook users to nominate someone for the title. It's our first, crack at this, but we'll be adding more as we get this one done. --- Hosting Weekly Online Radio Show --- I'm hosting a weekly dog sport radio show, K9Athlete Radio on BlogtalkRadio, and we're gearing up for our second show, whch will feature the president of a dock jumping organization and, crossing my fingers, an 82.5 year old woman who just got her MACH title in Agility, a very well regarded agility title, and a stunning performance from an 82 year old woman. --- Open Letter --- I've also written an "Open Letter to Dog Sport Professionals" that is posted on the front page of the site and will be going out to every dog sport list and site I can get my hands on. This is a letter specifically for dog sport professionals laying out what the site is and how it will work for them, and trying to get by the fears of conflicts of interest. No small task... It's also supposed to be my foot in the door in grabbing a couple more outstanding team members. We will be following up with an "Open Letter to the Dog Sport Community" for the dog sport community and "An Open Letter to Dog Sport Retailers". Each will be posted on lists, the site and direct email. --- Online Video - need suggestions --- I will be doing some online video to publicize the site soon, but it's still a bit too early, and I'm not a big fan of myself in the traditional videoblogging role. Suggestions here would be great! I'm thinking of some pro footage, which I have access to, but not sure how to structure it. That's pretty much it. Thoughts and comments would be appreciated. If this is deemed not germane to the list, I'll be happy to take it off list. I just thought this would be of interest to some here. peace, Ron Watson http://k9athlete.com http://k9disc.blip.tv http://k9disc.com http://pawsitivevybe.com [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]
