    Business ideas from home.

    Well without reading past the first page of replies, so I don't know if someone mentioned this- How about using your experience in sales/telesales and put together a free report to entice others wanting to enter into a similar profession? Then in this report, you only offer some tips and hints...

    Would you go above your boss?

    You risk a lot by wanting to go above your boss. If there are procedures and policies in place that can look after every employee, then sure take it to someone that has a more senior role. But in a typical situation, it is best to look for a job elsewhere. If your boss decides that you are too...

    Is there any point bothering with this?

    I think the idea is to be similar like the one guy on youtube that buys an iPhone and then smash it to pieces in the shop with a hammer. Brings in a lot of publicity for that guy and he has companies sponsoring him now. It's still viral marketing in it's best form. Do something weird and...

    Sales Letter

    ---> xinghu Your message is normal. Nothing interesting or spectacular. However, a different headline and a message targeted to the University/College will be better in the long run. Don't worry about your company. People will visit your website or Google it if they want to find out more about...

    Warning - rant alert

    I would say the person was right. Cold-calling doesn't work- Especially when the person is only interested in selling you a product you would never consider buying in a million years. Companies actually waste a lot of money that way. However, if your list is properly researched, your target is...

    Website design

    I think a few people have to learn a thing or two about internet marketing. They guy was merely getting people to visit his website to see whether anyone would actually buy his information. Not really imparting his advice and it will be evident when the poster does not exceed 25 posts on this...

    Help! How to launch a Directory

    --> Mike W Seriously... have you seen the amount of generic script sites that can be purchased? It's the same thing as seeing the same horse walking past about 13 times or more. People that have grand ideas about what colour a site should be, should always take care how they project...

    Help! How to launch a Directory

    Okay, so I had a look at your site and directory. I am not sure I like the colours that you use for the directory... it appears very script-like, meaning that you bought the script and have not changed a lot on the site in terms of making it appeal to women. You have to understand there are...

    Confused about PR

    Stretchy, I actually do not work for anyone at the moment. Currently I am seeking a position that will effectively maximize my experience in something I enjoy (marketing), and it would be a definite change from the hotel industry that I worked in before. However right now, I am just expanding...

    ideas for Guerrilla Marketing stunt

    So how do you show people how to make money from stock and shares? By that I mean, do you have one-to-one consultations? Webinars? Delivering the information through an eBook? I know you mentioned seminars... but would it primarily be seminars? Or are you hoping to write guides or a book on...

    Website design

    They might have closed down, but in the end you can easily outsource the task to someone for the same amount or less if you know where to look. In actual fact I have seen a design similar to that site before. It was eerily familiar when I looked at it. Perhaps because I spend a lot of time in...

    Where to buy email addresses

    While some people have valid ideas, there are tons of reasons why email marketing works. According to good practicing standards all you need is people who have opted-in to receive your information. You can achieve this by offering free advice or a quote, set-up a landing page and then gain...

    ideas for Guerrilla Marketing stunt

    What areas do you specialise in? I have a contact within North East since I live in Newcastle, that works with stag and hen parties. That is assuming you are not already in touch with this company or situated in the North East. Just a quick heads up about gaining followers on twitter. What...

    Confused about PR

    --> Stretchy You are completely right as well of course. If someone needs to establish credibility or seize an opportunistic moment, then it is well worth it. Building connections and relationships with the right contacts is invaluable and should definitely be utilized in every business that...
