The best of the best in my opinion:

- The Robert Collier Letter Book
- My Life In Advertising, Claude C. Hopkins
- Scientific Advertising, Claude C. Hopkins
- Boron Letters, Gary Halbert

Also I hate when I came to a blog, and get the big message across the screen to download a book or something like that.

And they hide the [X] sign, so you need to be Sherlock Holmes to shut that...

Well, I don't know much about fitness business. So take my words with a grain of salt. In your place I would consider (as already mentioned) franchising. If you found a successful business model, you...

Hello all I have been developing a plan for a small business an internet Cafe but I am not sure how feasible this idea will be. In my area we only have one and it is

For a restaurant, I would use newspaper ad with short copy and one irresistible offer.

From my experience, that gives you the best results, especially for small restaurants.

And any advice on financing? Do people use their own savings to buy a business, or get a bank loan instean to protect their own money?

It depends... If, for example, you have $40,000 of saving...

Hi saavoss, you did some serious self-examination and self-analysis to figure out what you want. That's great first step. I'll try to answer some of your questions...


I have three key questions:...

I agree with everyone above. The 'best' browser doesn't exsit. They all have advantages and disadvantages. Generally I use Opera.

I worked in Hospitality for years, sometimes in management, so I had some basic business skills and understandings about profit, loss, marketing, dealing with suppliers, health department, liquor and...

It really matter what business we're talking about. For some, the amounts mentioned here would be relatively small. There are copywriters who charge a minimum of $10,000 for a single sales letter....

Hi mgb! You're thoroughly prepared, laying the foundation for your business... That's rare and highly professional... wish you all the best in your work!

Hi,


Is it safe to tell others about a business idea? It's something quite new/innovative in my country, but I don't want others to steal it. Many entrepreneurship gurus say to tell everybody,...

learning about other mediums is one of the reasons I am here.
You found the right place... I'm also new here, however I tested a couple of different business forums, and most of them are a waste of...

I've noticed this trend in how the company for which I work does marketing, and I wondered if anyone else has seen this as well. When I started the Marketing Department here, we created tons of...

Flow is an important part of writing, but to have flow, you need deep understanding of the subject, and for that you'll have to research.

Great analogy with writing and singing.


To me good...

Well, it's not new… The vast majority of social websites are no longer active, and most of active ones are waste of time, they are loaded with spam...

You made a good choice for your market......

Well, it was about a year ago, maybe even longer... (I forgot to mention that. I stopped working on sites for a while.) I didn't know that Stumble don't give results anymore.

Back then I created...

I'm sure that non-profit organizations are always happy with any donations. My question here is how does it affect you as an organization. See, let's say I wanted to donate 95% of my sales to an...
