HOW AND WHERE TO ADVERTISE
HOW AND WHERE TO ADVERTISE
More than anything else, the key to success in business depends
on how and where to advertise. You must advertise or forever
remain unknown. If you have "the better mousetrap," you have to
let people know about it, or your ideas and efforts will come to

"how to" manual of some kind. Many people spend half of their
lives perfecting a product, learning how to perform a special
service, or writing a book--only to end up penniless and
heartbroken because "no one beats a path to their door" to buy
whatever it is they are trying to sell.

history" as just another inventor, hard-worker, author or want to
"sell a product and enjoy the rewards."
Always do some basic common sense product analysis and market
research before you begin building, learning or putting together
something you want people to buy. The same kind of "research'
will save your time, frustration, and money, if you apply the
same principles to every "selling opportunity" that arouses your
interest.
