Here’s the challenge – to do as many of Ron McDaniel’s buzz marketing challenges from his book, Buzzoodle Buzz Marketing, as possible.
I’ve got 3 weeks, and you can participate as well! Follow along and go through the buzz marketing challenges – see which ones you can do, and which ones you can incorporate into your everyday business life.
I won’t accomplish all of the buzz challenges, but I hope to do as many as possible.
The list of all 57 challenges is below. When a challenge is linked, it means I’ve accomplished it.
