Happy Anniversary to Us!

I am happy to announce that my husband and I had our ten year anniversary this past weekend! It doesn't feel like ten years but we are still in love and happy :)

We look forward to many more years together!

Social Media Goodness

I have been researching a few social media sites and will be using them to announce a game that I am producing with my partners. It seems to me that you can do a lot of marketing for free and anybody can do it. I have also paid for a couple of consultants to share their knowledge with me about social media and they tell me to keep it simple and get to know the community you are interested in. The other bit of advice is not to shove your product in people's faces. I know that I wouldn't want someone to do that to me.

I have already created a business fan page on Facebook and so far it is great to connect with our community and to share our excitement about our game! We share artwork from the game that has not been released yet and the response is very positive. In a week or so we will be announcing beta testing and other news.

Twitter is another outlet we will use for our game as well as blogs and You Tube. It will be exciting to use all of these media tools and I look forward to sharing our project with the world. It's not just a game that you can play on Facebook (our game is called Cold War Clambake) it's an intellectual property that crosses into other media platforms.

There is a ton of information out there and lots of great people that are willing to share their knowledge with you. Just be sure to ask them nicely :)
