Announcing Rocketfuelcoffee.com BLACK LABEL



Expensive. Oh sure, but SO WORTH IT.

Rocketfuelcoffee.com is please to announce the LAUNCH of a entirely new line of special coffees, so special and exclusive they have their own page and color band at the top: BLACK LABEL.

These coffees include the elusive and lengendary KOPI LUWAK aka "cat poop" coffee coming in at $55 for a quarter pound (worth every bean) and our own custom MILLIONAIRE'S BLEND - 50% KONA/50% KOPI LUWAK at $35 per quarter pound (a bargain!).

Watch for incredible Panama auction fare HACIENDA LA ESMERALDA, where rocketfuelcoffee.com will be one of the few places on earth to find this rare and wondrous treat. I have painted artwork just for this coffee. Others will follow as they become available. So save your allowance and get ready to be blown away.

Another Linked-in Post about TWITTER




Follow me on Twitter
“I signed up for Twitter a few weeks ago under my company, www.rocketfuelcoffee.com. I knew absolutely nothing about how it worked, how to grow followers/following or what the posts would do for me. My company is an online one so I figured this is an important place to be.

Inside of 2 weeks I have figured it all out (and I am no rocket scientist), and I have over 1000 followers and turned over my following list a couple of times, since you can only have max 2000 at one time.
I have joined demographic specific groups to my market and made great contacts who have reviewed and bought my coffee, including an 8 minute video.

Trading blogs on my site is another interesting idea I got from Twitter. I do not try just to get customers from Twitter. That would be like catching flies in a forest. I use Twitter to connect with like minds, advertise, grow and look for new venues to plant my new business globally.


And in this short time it is working very well!”

The Sensuous Beauty of Sake




















Welcome from Twitter, Soul of Japan


This winter, as you pour warm sake into her belly button, reflect on her curvaceousness. The overflow of sake as it moves downward from her navel following the will of gravity in a snake like motion and then settling down into her boundless beauty a whiff of nature mixed with hints of soft floral scented sake and then a nice quaff as the after-taste permeates back into your nose – (sigh) this is what winters are for.


Her snow clad hair, majestic mountains rising up out of a natural hot spring as she stands up, tiny little beads of healthy sweat moving down the nape of her neck and down her shoulders; breathing slightly heavily, yet naturally and easily, exhaling sake scented breath.


She presents herself to me with approving eyes, sushi neatly and beautifully adorned around each areola as each nipple stands erected presenting its pinkish colored centers. Mons veneris can that be? I almost mistook it for a shiny beautiful black sea urchin waiting for me. How fine and soft must you be lost in all eternity.


The magical essence of sake is that it drinks us whereas drinks like scotch, whisky and bourbon force us to drink them. These hard drinks demand our attention and then they kick our heads in every morning in the form of a hang over. Nihonshu is a spiritual drink that fades away in the morning with faint memories of a great time had, or a great time lost as fate would have for so many at the bottom of the sea.


As we imbibe off of that beautiful 1.8 litre of sake we pay a little more extra attention to our glasses, the long upward and beautiful one leg of that sake bottle beautifully adorned in ancient Japanese calligraphy, that tiny little sake cup with no bowl and no stem that was uniquely handcrafted by some forgotten great Japanese hand somewhere deep in Nara. We never question its whereabouts we just tip our cups. Done !

Here is how I got 1000 followers in 2 weeks, and I am new to Twitter. I am no marketing genius and I certainly am not one who subscribes to any form of gimmick or cheesy advertising techniques. I figured this one out myself.

At the top of the page, under "Find People", there is a link where you can search for twitter members by key word. I searched for twitter members to follow by related key words to me, starting with coffee, as my company is called rocketfuelcoffee.com. I followed twits with 250 hits or higher. Then I did the same thing with cafe, espresso, latte and moved on to words I thought were in parallel markets to mine, like wine, cigar, bmw, travel, scotch, art, you get the idea.

I tried to avoid names that were just spammers or not potential shoppers.
Also, folks started following me that were insurance and web trawlers. I unfollowed them. They crowded my page with spam. Next, Un-click in your settings to get notified by e-mail everytime someone follows you back. You will go nuts with all the e-mails.

From this I have made contacts with folks who have reviewed my coffee, traded blogs with me and bought coffee. A million twitties may be nice, but give me QUALITY not quantity any day of the week.


Finally, as you get close to 2000 twits that you are following, you may have to edit, as that is the limit.
Good luck and have fun!
