Comments on: Minnov8 Gang 64: “Less Talk, More Walk” http://minnov8.com/2010/01/23/minnov8-gang-64-less-talk-more-walk/ Showcasing Minnesota Innovation in Internet & Web Technology Tue, 27 Jul 2010 03:09:31 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=abc By: Marc Kermisch http://minnov8.com/2010/01/23/minnov8-gang-64-less-talk-more-walk/comment-page-1/#comment-3706 Marc Kermisch Mon, 25 Jan 2010 23:50:31 +0000 http://minnov8.com/?p=4063#comment-3706 In response to the mention of me reaching out to Minnov8 announcing the launch of Activ8 (http://www.activ8itnow.com), the cross posting to MinnPost and Tech.MN was fabulous. For two weeks straight, Minnov8, MinnPost, and Tech.MN were the leading sources of traffic to Activ8. Not only did this drive traffic to my site, but also increased inquiries into the company via email and phone, as well as an increase in followers to our @activ8itnow Twitter account. The small effort to reach out to a few media outlets paid off well. Now on another note, I reached out to the Twin Cities Business Journal, Twin Cities Business Magazine, the Star Tribune, and the Pioneer Press and received no responses. That concerns me in that I also do not see many of the start-ups mentioned on Minnov8 or Tech.MN picked up by our "Traditional" media outlets. BTW - Thanks for the mentions on the Podcast.
