  2. Introduction www.edeskhub.com Creating a business is a huge undertaking. It's not a simple path, and often includes details you may never have considered. If you're busy jamming on your startup, then you know that even the thought of marketing beforehand is the most daunting thing you don't want to think about. But, it should be one of the most important items on your prelaunch to-do list.

  3. Things to Do Before Launching Your Startup www.edeskhub.com Gather all your peeps (contacts)  Get a webpage with a sign-up form. Content - Start a blog. Social Media - Get active on Facebook. Don't forget Twitter. Leverage LinkedIn Email Marketing List your business Track everything. (It is critical)

  4. Gather All Your Peeps www.edeskhub.com The first thing to do is to gather all your contacts and collate them at one place. Working in an industry gives you the chance to meet several business colleagues and acquaintances in the past. Now is the time to cultivate your contacts and get a first-hand list ready. All this data can be put on a customer relationship management tool like Zoho or Salesforce and merged together to get a final list of people. Out of these, many could be business influencers and some could become your contact for the media industry. You will need the help of everyone as and when the launch happens. You can further think of putting in a LinkedIn profile too so that you get a quick look at their professional achievements.

  5.  Get A Webpage With A Sign-Up Form www.edeskhub.com Building a website is imperative in today’s connected world. It is further important for generating and capturing visitor interest can become their first line of contact to connect with your company. Offering something of value to the visitors will enable them to sign up and register. You could plan some giveaways that make people watch you more closely and build interest in your business. Make it a point to monitor your sign ups on a daily basis to get to know how many visitors you are getting each day. Most of the CRM software offer free tools to make sign up forms, which you can put up on your website.

  6. Content - Start a blog. www.edeskhub.com At the pre-launch stage, content is your best friend. Reason being, you can start building momentum for your startup with the help of quality content and using trending keywords to build a great search engine presence. Key is to offer great content about topics pertaining to your industry on regular basis. If you are not yet sure about what to write, you can offer sneak peek to your business progress and your industry. For instance, you can write about industry trends, your business progress and even about industry leaders. All these different posts add color to your web presence as it inches closer to the final launch stage. Make a blog section that is search engine optimized and reach out to social media channels to share and distribute content from the blog.

  7. Social Media - Get active on Facebook. www.edeskhub.com Invite your friends to "like" your new startup page that you're posting all of your daily content to. Like your competitors, influencers, and any press outlets that you want to eventually cover your launch. Pin a post to the top of the page asking fans to add themselves to the early-access list. Launch a Facebook "like my page" campaign to boost likes so you'll get some engagement. Boost a few posts a week for as little as $5 to get the word out.

  8. Don't forget Twitter. www.edeskhub.com Follow the competition, any press related to your industry, influencers, and consultants. (Make a separate "press" and "influencer" Twitter list for later launch.) Retweet or favorite their tweets so they make note of your new startup. When you post the content from your daily blog, make sure you're including images. Tweet about your weekly progress, and tweet reminders about being added to the early-access list.

  9. Leverage LinkedIn www.edeskhub.com Send LinkedIn InMails to your connections and invite them to your early-access sign-up form. Tell your connections what's been going on with you and your new startup. Don't forget to post your blog content daily to your LinkedIn blog. Take that amazing content you're creating and post to appropriate LinkedIn Groups as well.

  10. Email Marketing www.edeskhub.com Make use of your contact list and send them emails informing them about your startup and offering some incentive on becoming the early access holders. Make the emails personalized and offer value instead of coldly promoting your business venture. Send these emails on a weekly basis to all those who have signed up. Include links to your weekly blogs, industry news and make them a part of your startup. You can make use of professional email marketing software like VerticalResponse for this purpose.

  11. List your business www.edeskhub.com It's important to get backlinks to your site, and not just any backlinks--you need great ones. One way to do this is to get your business listed in directories.  If you've got a tech startup and you've got a "beta" product, get your site listed on Beta list. I've known sites that get hundreds of people signing up for beta, and it's not bogus! You can also list your site in eDesk HUB – Research & Review platform.

  12. Track Everything. www.edeskhub.com Make sure that you are capturing and tracking all data via Google Analytics. Track your web site clicks and blog visitors and analyze where the traffic is coming from and which are the most popular forms of content that are being visited and shared and work on similar ones. You can track user engagement on each of the posts that are being shared or liked on the social media. What drives more clicks and what drives user interest.
