I once heard that if “average people” start investing in the stock market, professionals knew it was time to get out. I am not sure if that is still true today as it is so much easier, but it probably was true 10 years ago.
If you enjoy creating buzz online, you have to be cutting edge. If everyone knows a product creates buzz, there is probably a good chance that its usefulness as a tool to create buzz is on the downturn. Maybe not, but often this is the case. It just gets too crowded and people stop paying attention.
So what can you do to be cutting edge and know about buzz tools before they become mainstream? Here are some ideas for you.
- Read technology magazines and business magazines
- Sign up to be a beta tester before products are out
- Meet other people who are cutting edge and build a friendship with them
- Educate yourself on what to look for. Don’t sign up for the newest sp @ m tool or other shady technologies
- Help products you like, grow, by referring friends to it
- Blog about new things. Chances are you will get a lot of hits if the new technology is building more buzz
Once you start doing these things, other people will email you when they find something new that may interest you. It gets easier to find new things when this happens.
