Thanks. Journalists were selected because we have a few journalists that are using it and have had great success. Musicians were selected because we felt it was a natural fit (but we didn't have any data on that one). We have a blog (blog.publicitweet.com) and we're trying to do what you suggested but have fell a little behind :). Need to dedicate more time to that. Thanks for the comments.

We are working on a video tutorial (by working I mean we haven't started just yet!). It's a really simple service so a 2 minute video tutorial should be able to cover most everything you need to know to get started.

Both good suggestions. Have considered getting testimonials, which should be easy. Have not considered events for journalists or musicians yet. Will look into that and see the benefit/cost ratio there. Thanks.

Thanks for the verbose response. We have a list of thousands of contacts for musicians that include recording companies, event booking companies, etc. I realize that musicians aren't necessarily the best target when it comes to paying for a service. We thought musicians would be great since they tend to have very loyal fans which would be a natural extension to a medium like Twitter. We've talked about the copy. I'm glad you brought that up. Someone else said they didn't really know what our service offerings were...which was scary. That will probably be top priority. Thanks!

Hey Julie, Thanks for the really helpful comments. If you're interested (as a journalist) to use the service we'd love to hear what thoughts you had and whether or not you feel it's useful. If you have a following on Twitter then it might be a good way to connect with them and keep people interested in your articles. Feel free to email us directly at support@publicitweet.com with suggestions or participate online at getsatisfaction.com/publicitweet. Thanks!

While that sounds great in theory, I'm not sure what actionable suggestions are in there. We're definitely trying to provide a solution for companies that are trying to raise or measure their social media campaigns. Hopefully we'll get in front of the right eyeballs. But then again, that's the initial question I asked :).

We've got a couple journalists and musicians (or music event organizers) using the service. I reached out to the journalist (who they really loves the service) about getting other journalists at their online paper on board. Could you clarify what you mean when you say to interact with other service providers? Which service providers would that be?

Yea, would love to find someone that would sit down for a "free" consultation. I'm eager to pay someone once I feel confident that they're a good fit and there's synergy. Email me at jaisen@jmathai.com and we can chat :).

Wise words :). I'm pretty comfortable doing SEO and have done that already. I may benefit by getting some more experienced marketers help me with which keywords to target. I realize that burning through $10k can happen in a blink. That's why I've been hesitant in doing adwords or anything else. Do marketers do payment upon reaching goals or is that considered an insult?

The site is already professional looking, so that one's taken care of. As far as inbound marketing, is that something you suggest setting up yourself or having a marketing person do that for you? I've set up several blogs on the topic which link back to our service but it's a pretty big time investment to really nurture that into a good source of traffic. A marketing person might be better apt to do that than I.
