Filtering Out The Crap From Marketing & Advertising Hype and Bringing You The Latest and Greatest In What Works In The Real World

1. Questar Satellite TV 1.27.08 / 6am

   What would I do if I had only 30 days to get off my duff after losing it all?

   I would take my fliers from Questar Satellite TV and start passing them out on busy street corners like I was some sort of street preacher.

   What with analog TV being phased out in the next 12 months or so, I would be getting the message out to as many people as possible that satellite TV, with it’s accompanying 100% digital signal, is the way to go.

   Why would anybody want to pay for a converter box and use digital signals on an old analog TV? Besides, most TV’s being sold today are digital anyway. When was the last time you saw an analog television in the stores? Over ten years ago; right?

   Next thing I would do is point as many people as possible to read my latest article on “Switching Signals: U.S. TV Is Going Digital… With, Or Without You” at http://searchwarp.com/swa291409.htm . It will give you all the poop on the legislation and upcoming changes.

   Then after I started making some commission checks, I would start getting more fliers out into the rural areas, and into high traffic locations like convenience stores, truck stops, restraurants, etc.

   And then after I got back up on my feet, I would write a book about it and get the word out on that.

   In the meantime, I would be building single page web sites with a lead capture page on them and keep my subscribers posted on the latest newsletter and article I’ve written. And I would make sure I would write at least one article per week, and point it to a site that filled a need.

   More next week… stay tuned!

   Next challenge – add this to the challenge.

   You can’t walk without pain, and you only have 4 “functional” hours a day. Period. Now bail yourself out!!

   Okay. I’ll accept your challenge. You want to make this even more difficult?

   Let’s say I didn’t “attract” this, but here goes.

   (This is all hypothetical, mind you…)

   I have rheumatoid arthritis, fibromyalgia (sp?), and I’m on a number of pain meds, including chemo (traxates, etc.). The stuff makes it so painful and difficult to get anything done that I only have four (4) hours in my day that I can do anything.

   I’ve already lost my job, my bills have been shredded and thrown away because they were piling too high on the dining room table. The bill collectors no longer harass me for money over the phone because the damn phone has been cut off.

   I’ve gone beyond my 30 day “window” to bail myself out. The roof over my head is no longer guaranteed. I have no cell phone, no landline, and no internet connection.

   I no longer have my big “guru” name nor any of my previous joint venture partners. As a matter of fact, my name is mud, and all my former JV partners think I’m a total loser.

   I’m already sleeping on a piece of cardboard underneath a bridge in Houston, Austin or San Antonio… or, for that matter… in Denver, New York City, Philadelphia, or New Jersey.

   What do you do?

   Come on! Let’s make this challenge even more difficult! How are you going to get out of this mess now?
