TechWhirl (TECHWR-L) is a resource for technical writing and technical communications professionals of all experience levels and in all industries to share their experiences and acquire information.
For two decades, technical communicators have turned to TechWhirl to ask and answer questions about the always-changing world of technical communications, such as tools, skills, career paths, methodologies, and emerging industries. The TechWhirl Archives and magazine, created for, by and about technical writers, offer a wealth of knowledge to everyone with an interest in any aspect of technical communications.
I hate to sound curmudgeon-ish, but I paid a marketing company several
thousand dollars to help develop that strategy. And it is a good one. It
works.
These strategies are our way to generate business. Why should we share
proprietary information to help you out - and help a potential competitor?
If any of my people shared this info with you, they are in violation of
their NDA...
Not to sound mean, but I think you need to get in the trenches and see what
works by doing it... Or, since it is a plan, ask the people starting the
company what they think they will use. Or hire a marketing company and have
them help with that.
But I have been up since 5am and just drank the last of the caffeine coffee.
Perhaps that is a good thing.
