New Marketing Strategies that Work

Add and I started this China232 project about 5/6 years ago and have learned so much since then. We made so many marketing mistakes and have tried to learn from them.

Before we started this, we read a ton of stuff about how to do marketing, but at the end of the day, we really had no idea of what really works and what really doesn’t. Marketing is much more of an art than it is a science. It’s really hard to know what to do until you try it and learn from your experiences.

Some of you may already know that I’ve started writing my own personal blog about what I’ve found out about marketing. I’m using my own name, Andrew Best, to market myself as an expert or a “guru”. It’s kind of funny to actually do that, but I truly believe I’ve learned enough from my mistakes over the years to actually put myself in that category. You can read along and let me know what you think.

A lot of this stuff on my marketing blog is a combination of the hundreds of books I’ve read over the years and also what I’ve learned making China232.

Looking forward to your thoughts as always.

    There are certainly a lot of details like that to take into consideration. That is a great point to bring up. I offer the thoughts above as general inspiration but clearly there are questions like the one you bring up where the most important thing will be working in honest good faith. I don?t know if best practices have emerged around things like that, but I am sure that your job is clearly identified as a fair game. Both boys and girls feel the impact of just a moment’s pleasure, for the rest of their lives.

    Thanks for discussing your ideas with this blog. Additionally, a fantasy regarding the lenders intentions any time talking about home foreclosure is that the loan company will not take my installments. There is a degree of time that this bank is going to take payments every now and then. If you are very deep inside hole, they are going to commonly call that you pay the actual payment fully. However, that doesn’t mean that they will not take any sort of payments at all. Should you and the bank can seem to work anything out, this foreclosure process may end. However, if you ever continue to neglect payments beneath new program, the foreclosures process can pick up exactly where it left off.
