Fun and Useful Things You Can Do with Domain Names
Before you become a “domain connoisseur,” you need to understand the advantages of owning more then one domain and what you can do with them:

Internet Direct Mail Is Different: 14 Things To Remember
Internet Direct Mail (IDM) and Traditional Direct Mail (TDM) both have the same goals in mind. They are to generate leads or orders.

Pricing Your Service or Product: Things To Ponder
Terrific students attend the classes I teach. They ask profound questions that "stretch" my knowledge and resources. When I teach a building a business foundation owner class, I’m usually asked, "How does someone price a product or service?" During a recent class, I promised to write down what’s in my head and send it to the students. And because of them, you now have it, too.

#1. People who are looking for a sure-fire “get rich quick” scheme.
