Now the network is officially open and tested and all-singing, all-dancing, it is time to commence with the initial basic marketing plan to cover April.

Obviously, the marketing budget (which will eventually be controlled by affiliates) is not yet in place (as no profits have been made as yet) and so we are setting aside a small budget to get started.

To summarise, the first phase of marketing (April) will consist of the following:

1. Issue Press  Release Detailing Launch
2. Secure Content On Blog Networks
3. Ensure Social Bookmarking Sites Pick Up On the News
4. Announce Launch On Marketing Forums (with paid posts where necessary)
5. Securing Banner Ad Space On Affiliate Marketing Sites/Blogs
6. Pay-Per-Click Advertising (Adwords, Adcenter, Yahoo)
7. Announcing The Launch To Members Of Our UK Network
8. Secure A Dedicated Forum At One Or More Of The Larger Affiliate Forums

So, we will report back on the results of this initial plan with a marketing report in May, including traffic statistics.

Wish us luck!
