Some of the best blog posts are also the shortest because they make one simple point that you can remember and then apply to help your business. Hopefully you can remember and then apply that.

Size matters so sometimes keep it short.

Types of advertising - Part #1 - I'm not an idiot so stop talking to me like I am.
The newspaper tried to interrupt my reading by using a full page advertisement but it takes me about 1 second to turn the page and avoid the ad. That was their business model. It doesn't work anymore because well, I don't get the paper. I can get all that news on their web site. Now they interrupt me with sliding banner ads that cover the content on their web page so I switched to get the RSS feed of the same stories. Are automobile sales people idiots or just tasteless? Or is the public that dumb? Why does every car sales commercial scream, have bold lettering and say "THIS WEEK ONLY!!" Maybe because it works and maybe b/c they're not creative at all. Maybe they're trying to get the impulsive buyer off his can and onto their parking lot. Maybe buying a new car is a bad decision 99% of the time so they have to shock and/or push you into visiting the lot. Whatever the reason most people ignore those commercials now b/c they're all the same.
2. Don't try to talk about price so much. I'll pay more if you're more human.
