So you just launched a new website, and you want to generate some positive attention for it. Generating buzz or hype isn’t as hard as you might think. You just have to follow a few simple steps, and you’ll be on your way in no time.

Start off by using social networking sites like Twitter and Facebook to talk about your site. Don’t just talk about the site using your social networking accounts, but encourage your friends and family to talk about it on their own. In order to generate buzz, the positive attention your site is getting on social networks has to appear natural. If other users suspect that you’re just trying to generate hype for your site, then you will actually achieve the opposite effect of damaging your site’s reputation. Try to get a group of your friends and family together that can start spreading the word about your site for you. As they talk about it, their friends will go to your site. Some of those friends will talk about it too, and slowly, but surely, you’ll begin to build some buzz around your site.

Consider volunteering some of your services to another website. If, for example, you have launched a site about technology, consider doing a guest spot writing for another tech website. This will give you the chance to introduce yourself to another audience, and get them excited about your site.

Don’t underestimate the power of physical items. Get some T-shirts, pens, and buttons made up with your site’s information on them. Hand these items out generously, and give some to your friends and family to do the same with. As these items spread, so too will your site.

Give out your business card whenever you can. If you’re out to lunch, leave your business card on the table along with the tip. If you see a bulletin board at the grocery store, pin your business card to it. This might seem a little futile, but remember, everyone who sees your URL might visit it. Everyone that visits it might tell a friend.

It’s important to remember that, while these methods can help, the amount of buzz your site generates will be directly related to the content it holds. For example, if you run a plumbing supply website, don’t expect to generate a huge amount of buzz. Plumbing supplies are great when you need them, but on a day to day basis, they’re just not very exciting.  If your content is interesting, and you follow these steps, you’ll start to see buzz for your site in no time.

One of the hardest parts of producing content online is because you are doing it for yourself. If you aren’t working for a customer then your motivation is sometimes less than optimal. However, there are some ways to just ship your product when you are doing it on your own, here’s how.

Set a deadline
One of the easiest ways to get nothing done is to not set deadlines. Deadlines hold you accountable, especially when it is just you doing the work. If you have no other people motivating you it is so easy to push deadlines farther and farther back and never get it done.

Be a rock on your deadlines and do not allow yourself to push them back, ever. Set them realistically and then make sure you plan accordingly to reach them. Work 2 hours per day until the project is finished.

Time Yourself
Set the kitchen timer or your timer on your cellphone. Make yourself work in 30 minute increments (or longer, depending on what you are doing or how much effort is involved).
This is one of the best ways I have found to crank articles out in a pinch or to just get something done I have been needing to do.

Don’t set unrealistic goals, like the deadlines above, but if you know it takes you 30 minutes to do something, set the timer for 27 and push yourself to get it done. Take a break, if needed and then move on to the next thing.

Ship Revisions
Don’t be afraid to make revisions on products so that you can get them out the door faster. If you launch a website incomplete that is OK. Just make sure you keep working on it and let your customers and visitors know that there are some parts of the site that haven’t launched yet. For some of my other projects I am constantly rewriting and adding features. Ship revisions, so you don’t have to try and be a perfectionist.

Market
If you really want to push yourself, start marketing beforehand that you will be launching on “x” date. That way you can start building buzz for your project and it will allow you do some preorders or whatever you want.

Market beforehand, but don’t let it kill your productivity on the actual creation of the product.

Good luck, try some of these things out today, you might be surprised at what you get done.

If you are thinking of creating a clickbank product then you need to make sure you launch it correctly as if done properly you can easily make $20,000 a month and be one of the top sellers for your category on clickbank with a very high gravity score.

First you need to setup an account with clickbank and pay the $49 activation fee and get your website sales and thank you page approved.  Then the next step is to get a buzz online about your new product.

I highly recommend joining the following forums and posting your advert in the following forums:

• Warrior Forum - http://www.warriorforum.com/forum/ (WSO)
• aBlake Forum – http://www.ablakeforum.com/ (ESF Marketplace)
• BlackHat Forum – http://www.blackhatworld.com/ (Buy, Sell or Trade)
• Digital Point Forum – http://forums.digitalpoint.com/ (Buy, Sell or Trade)

As an example i will use the Warrior Special Offers (WSO) section considering most people know this forum well.

In order to meet the posting rules of the Warrior Forum you need to make sure you sales page meets the following:

“A Warrior Special Offer Means The Price You Give Must Be Better Than The Price The Public At Large Can Get. (This is not a “buy my product” forum, it is a “Special Offer” forum)”

So make sure that the price you offer your product on the WSO section is cheaper then what you are selling it on clickbank for.

Then what you need to do is setup a 2nd free clickbank account and sign up as an affiliate to your product. 

Then when you setup your special offer sales page make the payment button go through your 2nd clickbank free account.  Or you can create a free special report for your product and within the report put your 2nd clickbank free link in there which then directs the user to your sales page.

By setting it up like this will shoot up your gravity ratings on Clickbank and push your product to the top of the category your advertising in, bringin in even more affiliates and more sales.
