Advertising Strategy


"Many a small thing has been made large by the right kind of advertising". This is a quote by Samuel Langhorne Clemens, better known by his pen name Mark Twain, who was an American author and humorist. I read this quote and thought "hmm, my blog is a small thing, maybe I can make it large.." and so I started to think what's the right kind of advertising? So I just did the normal thing and went to the Apple store and put my blog up on all the macs. Start the fire, and watch it burn! Ohh yeahh!! Although the fire didn't really burn much in this case, it did manage to get me an extra 14 views, so I guess it just depends what you consider large. Any way, feel free to advertise the blog in any way you think is good and have a good day!

Quotes

Throughout time people have been remembered and forgotten, although one thing that always seems to be remembered are the quotes people say in their lifetime. Here are some of my favourites:
  • "Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid."
  • "Yesterday you said tomorrow."
  • "All mankind is divided into three classes: those that are immovable, those that are movable, and those that move." 
I could tell you the people who said these quotes, but if you're interested you should look it up and who knows you might find some other interesting stuff on the way! Also the real reason I won't say is I don't know who said one of them and i can't just put two out of three, inconsistency looks bad! So any way, I thought I'd do a few quotes of my own* and see if anyone likes them** or uses them in the future.

  • "If everything is extraordinary, everything will be ordinary."
  • "What you're thinking about the person trying less than you, is what someone else is thinking about you."
  • "You can make all the excuses you want about cooking a bad meal, but in the end you're the only chef."
*I do not claim ownership of any quotes by me that were originally said by someone else, if anyone bothered to check...wow, maybe you should start a blog or something if you're bored.
**If anyone did like any quotes remember you can now order an exclusive 'Javan Gilbert autograph', with a new option to have one of my excellent quotes written on it. For inquiries please email javangilbert@gmail.com and have a good day!
