How to get 54,256 views of your blog in less than 24 hours

So, is all publicity good publicity?

If you look at Gwyneth Paltrow this week, perhaps you would not think so. Likening her life to that of a war veteran, which I am certain was a slip of the tongue and another example of "tongue in cheek", hit a raw nerve. I completely understand why people would react the way they did, however, some of the virile on social media in relation to her comment is unacceptable.

However, in the case of my blog, I would say 'yes'. As one person aptly put it, "now 40,000 plus people know how to spell my name". Better than that, they will look to see what comes out next and through their differences of opinion, will share it with all and sundry.

It has been the cause for much lunchroom chatter today, a marriage proposal, prospect meetings and of course, the odd "hate" email. 

What never ceases to amaze me is the number of people who made comment without reading the blog thoroughly. I am not a married woman that is sprouting to the world that I am better than everyone else because I have a man by my side. Instead, I am a single, reasonably successful woman who is comfortable in her own skin.

What do I think will be the result of this blog?

• By the time it is finished 60,000 people knowing my name, the title of the blog and perhaps some of whom even know the brand I work for.
• New leads coming from all areas of the planet
• More visitors to Marketing Eye's website's
• Conversation on a topic that is not politically correct
• Maybe a few more dates ;-)

Remember, that if you write something, there has to be an underlying message you stand by. In this case, the message is that if you have a significant other who is supportive and on your team, it makes life easier to focus on the things you need to in order to be successful.

Happy reading. Feel free to follow me on Facebook, LinkedIn or Twitter.
