Thanks, are how about writing the competition rules too.

Hey Reed we have enough trouble with the rules you and Bill give us. Can you imagine the chaos if I started to write them? The next suggestion would be for a key to interpreting my rules and the winner would have to be put in a place of confinement for treatment under the special act of parliament.

On the other hand if the reason that most people send back products is because the sales copy was either misleading or misunderstood then maybe a practise of good clear accurate and concise copy writing is in order. No ambiguous or egzagjurated claims with perfect spelling (now I have my own views on that one) Some marketers may choose to mislead deliberately and if so I believe it will catch up with them eventually.e.g. Selling a car on e-bay....

Description: goes like a bomb.

Intent of seller is to imply it is fast.
Real intent get shut of this shed

Perception of buyer it will leave the boy races standing.

Truth.. it goes like a bomb

Real truth... it will soon disintegrate

So Perception is the main driver in my book and we all have our own perceptions of things and not all opposing perceptions are necessarily wrong, just different.

Now where were we?
Must do some invoices hmmmm
I need a career change... any takerrupperers?
best wishes

PS Does anyone else have this problem that I have...I can't think or say the word tangent without thinking of tangerines. I think it occurred first in a maths lesson doing geometry as all my thought tangerines are perfectly round.

That's the problem Bill and I have, we understand what we mean in the rules; but the people who matter, that is, those who enter the competitions, have their own separate interpretations.

It is also very discouraging when so few members take the time or put in a little effort to enter a competition when we go out of our way to keep them simple.We want members to learn and feel like winners just by being members of this Friendly Forum.

Please be encouraged Bill by the fact that you and Reed are very much appreciated. Remember this...There is a season for sowing and a season for reaping but you never do both in the same season. You will be rewarded for your good work. It may not be in the way you expect but mark my words it will happen for you. It's the law

Have you ever wondered why crowd mentality is mental?

Why there are more poor people than rich people?

Now let me get back on topic

How about a best suggestion of the month e.g. When the world cup competition starts will we have a cool product to market to the fans. Maybe one of those electronic notices that the fans can use to send messages to the refs like that annoying flashing banner that is calling me a Get every 2 seconds. Or a product that we all market as a JV and split the profits so we all win.

The best and quickest way to load up an auto responder with follow ups that works How to do it and why it is the best way.

What about a competition to make as many 1-way links to the forum from external sites that we set up to help Paul and Kevin stay top?

Produce a system that makes residual money that we can all try out to test it's performance and profitability.

Have a swap shop e,g. I will swap my Bill Myers 10 DVD set of how to produce videos for something else. This could be set up as a negotiation post whereby someone has a product and an offer is made for it but if anyone has a piece of advice or reason why it is a good deal or not then they can make the relevant suggestions. The main idea is to see how others interact in a negotiation.

Have a quiz on internet marketing

Have a series of instruction that when followed brings about a result so that the first person to implement the instructions gets the prize. E.g. each instruction gives a clue to a download page that is password protected but you can only find out what the password is if you follow the instructions

Produce an infomercial for a cba product

As we are or hope to be true successful marketers have a competition to market the competition and the person who gets the most people to sign up for the forum membership and enter the competition gets a prize.

The person entering has to mention the user name of their referrer to be counted and no double entries are allowed. Also the person has to make a small comment in the thread to say why they felt it was important for them or what compelled them to enter. The best reason will be given a prize and the introducer will be given a prize. All the people who take part will gain insight into what makes people do things and therefore help in marketing to others. It could also include a tracking tool to prove where the new member came from.

A great looking attractive photograph with an appropriate caption e.g. A big plump lady is about to sit on a drawing pin on a seat next to you on a bus, you are pictured in the picture as having seen this situation and the caption could be "What Would You Do?" or could we make it into an advert for thick underwear etc

Search for the most useless sign e.g. A sign on a shot gun saying misuse may cause injury. The packet of mixed nuts saying may contain nuts etc. Up load photo of sign and give location of where it is.

What is the best product to market when people are watching the football suggestions welcome for the June compo

How about a best step by step cheat sheet on how to produce a video using powerpoint, you tube and linking techniques and camtasia or some other method and the best and easiest one to follow is awarded a prize the best video produced is awarded a prize and the best reason as to why the best video is the best wins a prize?

WOW Vince,

I know the joker will be happy with this response but who put 10p in you?

Hi Kevin
Nobody paid me (honest) I think it was cos I couldn't understand the instructions and therefore I had to separate the ideas as instructed by Reed and Bill.
I am now an expert on copy and pasting so I think if anyone needs lessons in copy and pasting I can give them for a small fee.

I was wondering too if someone would up the prize money to £5000 weather we would have any more people taking part as I sense my friend Bill is being discouraged by the lack of response.

Talking of the joker.. I think he is feeling under threat or else he is still munching through that truck load of Malteasers that he tried to bribe Chris with. Bill says "I am four aces" and Martin is just one card.

I think I have a plan to drum up some action though it may be quite controversial but isn't that what marketers like he! he!

People don't realise how famous I am so I think I will build up a little intrigue
over the forum so here is my next idea.

{May Comp--" Guess what the prince is up to"}

Guess what I am up to next? Keep the guesses coming in fast and furious and the best suggestions get a prize. Also suggest what I should do next which may produce more suggestions of a comical nature
The joker and 10p in the one line reminded me of putting 10p into a juke box but that has not happened for a long time.
Keep up the good work Kevin

PS Can anyone recommend a good psychiatric expert as I know someone who needs help?
