We have our team leave comments, write emails, contact publicists, and contact influential people online.

It took us a while to find the right people and train them, but once we got them, it was very useful.

We used them for about 2 months and are currently using another marketing strategy

I work with a virtual team at my startup too and use pretty much identical tools and techniques.

I was wondering how you use elance for PR though. I’ve been looking at outsourcing parts of my companies PR but am stuck at which bits. I love to know what you guys do

Thanks for the comment, Adam. Glad you liked the video! Virtual teams have certainly changed over the past few years, and I laud your ability to have done it in 2004 - these days products like Skype have made life much, much easier for a virtual team

Many thanks to Olina for pointing this out to me, and grateful for the opportunity to cover the post. As I’d mentioned to her, so that I don’t miss out on any more Viralogy post, I’d be delighted to host any sort of Viralogy material up on the ol’ Facebook Wall. It’s appropriate for all ages…

I’ve long been a fan of virtual teams, even before it became fashionable to do so. In 2004, I was one of the first people to do it with a short film team that I’d assembled from Canada, involving kiwi and American players as well. More on that if you wish…

Jun, thanks for 2 amazing tips you supplied here. Pity that Skype Number doesn’t work for Canada (not in the list of countries, which is odd). I think this is due to the strong barriers Canada has erected against telecom entries to the market. But that’s just my $0.02…

Keep up the full-court press…
