HW #12 Launch Day

I’m working on these homework days backward, lol. Just glad to be getting caught up.

Share two or three of what you think are the strongest elements of your launch day campaign.

-Launch Party! (Downloadable party pack for launch team)

-Automating—I actually know how to do that!

-I think videos can be fun! Some ideas:

■       Superloooong Superhero Writing Journey: How Eagleboy came to be

■       Moms Make the Best Critics: Funny Story about how my mom told me to go back to the drawing board

■       Deleted Villians: FlyZone, The Cardinal, etc. Which would you like to see?


Ask for feedback on ideas you’re not sure about.

○       Feedback on any of these is welcome! I’m not sure I understand the drip campaign, in particular


Share your drip campaign with the group. Doing these backwards from December with an imagined launch day of Nov 12th:
