Big Bucks with Big Signs
Frank Rolfe started his billboard empire from his coffee table, as a fresh graduate from Stanford University. It began as a resume builder for graduate school applications, and ended with a sale to a public company 14 years later. Using unique strategies he developed from desperate competition with much larger adversaries, Rolfe eventually owned more billboard units than any private individual in Dallas/Ft. Worth. Along the way, he fine-tuned the techniques to find billboard locations, rent advertising space, and sell signs and leases. Rolfe was an aggressive buyer of billboards during the Texas recession of 1988-1992, and built or bought during his career the astounding average of two billboard faces per month - one every two weeks for fourteen years straight. He was also able to individually rent one billboard face every two days. Here is a sample of what you will find inside: Understanding What Creates Value Getting Started: Checking Laws and Doing Research Finding Locations and Getting Permits Additional Ways to Find Locations Getting the Land Owner to Sign the Lease Buying Existing Billboards Considerations When Buying a Billboard The Real Economics of Billboard Ownership Getting a Loan For a Billboard Deciding What Kind of Billboard to Build OSHA and Other Complications Selling Your Billboard or Billboard Lease to a Competitor Selling Advertising Space Subleasing a Billboard to a Big Rival Service the Customer Rotary Billboard Programs Looking to the Future Definitions and Terminology Listing of the State Departments of Transportation If you are ready to educate yourself and excel in the Outdoor Advertising Industry then it is time to take the next step.
The Hidden Millionaire: Twelve Principles to Uncovering the Entrepreneur in You
Since launching his first business in 2004 when he was just twenty-one, Anthony Morrison s career has expanded exponentially. A self-taught Internet mogul, Morrison devised a one-man business operation while attending college full-time. The success of that venture saved his family s fortunes, and from there Morrison proceeded to devise a systematic approach to entrepreneurial success. He used this approach to develop another eleven companies, all of which have been highly profitable. The Hidden Millionaire tells that story, but there s more, because Anthony Morrison s story isn t merely inspirational; it provides real principles for guiding one s self through the trials and triumphs of entrepreneurial endeavors.

Anyone can tell you that you could or should be successful: Morrison tells you how. As thousands of his students will attest, Anthony Morrison doesn t merely lead in theory or even purely by example: his students leave with their first business operational. Wherever he has traveled, Anthony Morrison has left a trail of success stories in his wake.

The New Rules Of Marketing & PR
Top Seven Ways to Get the Most Out of Social Networking Sites:
1. Target a specific audience. Create a page that reaches an audience that is important to your organization. It is usually better to reach a small niche market than try to go large.
2. Be a thought leader. Provide valuable and interesting information that people want to check out. It is better to show your expertise in a market or at solving a buyer’s problems than to blather on about your product.
3. Create lots of links. Link to your own sites and blog, and those of others in your industry and network. Everybody loves links—it makes the Web what it is. You should certainly link to your own stuff from a social networking site (like your blog), but also link to other people’s sites and content in your own market.
4. Encourage people to contact you. Make it easy for people to reach you online, and be sure to follow up personally on your fan mail.
5. Participate. Create groups and participate in online discussions. Become an online leader and organizer.
6. Make it easy to find you. Tag your page and add your page into the subject directories. Encourage others to bookmark your page with del.icio.us and DIGG.
7. Experiment. These sites are great because you can try new things. If it isn’t working, tweak it. Or abandon the effort and try something new. There is no such thing as an expert in social networking—we’re all learning as we go!
