I definitely prefer some $1 slices to some expensive slices. I believe there is a strong element of placebo in price.

I'm not sure that's true. I believe the founder of OKCupid is speaking at an internet retailer conference this summer on content for SEO. The lovely linkbait data OKCupid releases certainly is marketing, and certainly cost money to produce.

This person severely misread the book. I could give quite a few examples from the writing. For instance, the child labor issue he brings up is ridiculous - "Rich Dad" obviously didn't benefit from this labor in any financial way. The premis

Lester Wunderman, the father of direct marketing, spoke about split testing existing in the 1930s and earlier in his autobiography "Being Direct: Making Advertising Pay". I cannot recommend this book enough for anyone interesting in mass pe

This is why I think KIPP works (and why it has been criticized as a cult by some). It creates an intense school environment ("work hard, be nice") in school and then keeps kids in the school environment for as long as possible, while making

Not that rich. The music industry is very small by gross profits. It's mentioned often here that Apple, Goog, and Microsoft have enough cash hand to each buy a majority of it.

Thank you for your detailed advice! I will definitely consider opening up older campaigns to test them carefully. I figured however - if Amazon isn't converting profitably when I send very product specific ads to it, with millions spent on
