-Must make them see you in 60 characters or less.
Where do you advertise? Links, FFA’s, Classified ads, opt-in email, news groups, message boards, search engines? All of them are limited in how many characters you can use. In the ocean of ads, you have to grab the viewers attention, then make them click.

There’s a lot of talk these days about the lack of security in the workplace, especially in corporate America. Events such as downsizing, re-structuring, mergers and acquisitions have many workers wondering whether the job they have today will be there tomorrow.
