Its no secret that at the time of writing this, I’m about a month away from launching the site, so these are just a few things that maybe helpful to other InfoPreneurs out there.
5 things that you absolutely must do before you launch your site;
- Socialize – Make sure your being active on your social networks, make sure you are building your friends and followers up, and let them know what your doing, Keep interacting with your followers and friends, and talk about other things as well as your site, this way you maintain interest without it turning into boredom.
- It’s a date – Have a launch date and stick to it, make it achievable and let everyone know about it. Some of my tweets will be about what a busy day I have had and how I’m starting to get nervous about the site launch date which is now 3 weeks away etc etc. Make sure people know when it is but don’t put people off before you have started by always talking about it.
- Content- Build the content/posts on your site, build and build, because when you launch you what to hit the ground running and keep the moment up. At the time of writing this post, this is exactly what I am doing, You don’t have a show home without a roof! Make sure your ready to create an avalanche
- Design – Get the design of the site just how you like it so when you launch and when people return they will come back to a familiar site, rather than coming back to a site that still doesn’t seem ready. I sticking to a clean modern look, which I hope will put the readers at ease.
- Buzz – Your launch will have already been well publicized, but create an extra buzz by working on a viral or potentially viral post/article that has the potential to be spread around the world instantly and post it hours after the official launch and get people to re-tweet it! I’m doing this as we speak, its taking me a bit of time, but will definitely be worth it.
Really this list could be double the size with things to do but it keeps it short, sweet and to the point.
What do you guys think? Please Re-tweet and comment.

This is a great article and comes at a really great time for me. I am actually in the process of launching my si in the near future. I wondering if you would be able to give a rough timeline for carrying out these 5 steps. That would be relly helpful as I am about to set a launch date and would love to get some advice on what my timeframe should look like.
