... Creator And Destroyer

• About

  Welcome to iFranky. I am Managing Editor at Splashpress Media and resident blogger of BloggingPro. This is my personal blog, where I mainly write about my experiences in the life of a paid blogger. I make a living out of this but on these pages I will not provide you with tips how to write for traffic, how to style your entries. Instead I will share advice based on behind the scenes experience.

  The views expressed on these pages are mine alone and not those of my employer.
  If I say something stupid on this site... know that I hold the intellectual copyright on said stupidity. Challenge me, call me an idiot but the stupidity is MINE!

  ☆ MG Ziegler on marketing strategy for startups:

  The big launch is a false idol. The embargo is a ticking time bomb. Focus on the product. Find the right writer. Get compelled users. Go from there.

  Get compelled users. It is about the users. About nothing else: create a compelling product for the user and your app, website will go viral. Find the writer who will best showcase your product and other writers will discover her/his article. Reach out to too many sites at once, and risk to be the newest hottest thing for the next 17', and forgotten once these sites update again.
