A reader fans the embers of a simmering issue with us and that is company's inability to engage in conversation with its customer base. We're not saying all communication has to be a conversation because there are certainly times when a little one way shouting is the best way the market. But with the proliferation of online forums and message boards for every conceivable topic, brand and product, it's a mystery why marketers have not jumped on this goldmine of customer contact.

Message Boards Missed Marketing Opportunity

A reader fans the embers of a simmering issue with us and that is company's inability to engage in conversation with its customer base. We're not saying all communication has to be a conversation because there are certainly times when a little one way shouting is the best way the market. But with the proliferation of online forums and message boards for every conceivable topic, brand and product, it's a mystery why marketers have not jumped on this goldmine of customer contact.

If a company were to spend its entire marketing budget to create a "consumer conversation" department, we'd venture to say the ROI would far exceed that of a traditional marketing campaign. As we've written before:

If a customer were to say, "the hose on my Kenmore vacuum always gets twisted because the connection between the handle and the hose doesn't turn," the correct response is "I'll run over to Jim's (hose designer) office and see what he can do and get back to you" and not "Well, we've designed it that way so that the hose won't lose too much suction."

Give a shit. Basically, that's what this boils down to. Consumers are not a vast collection of numbers on a spreadsheet or a nice collection of 5 categories with silly marketing names like "early, suburban adopter." They are people with real concerns that will, ultimately, lead to a better product. Listen and give a shit. That's good marketing medicine.

How to Turn £3 into £10,000 in 30 Days with Pay Pal

(There are many different variations of this programme in existence on the internet, but do not be fooled by their claims. This method is the most successful, lucrative and least time consuming of them all. It remains lucrative and LEGAL only as long as you follow the instructions below, TO THE WORD)
(If you have found this message on a MONEY MAKING MESSAGE BOARD follow the intsructions as normal)

This is a legitimate business opportunity, a perfectly LEGAL moneymaking enterprise as long as you follow the instructions below VERY CAREFULLY. It does not require you to sell anything. It does not require you to speak to your friends, family or anybody else (unless you want to). In fact, you do not need to come into contact with any people whatsoever.

You have most likely seen or heard about this project on TV programs such as 20/20 and Oprah Winfrey or you may have read about it in the Wall Street Journal. If not, here it is below – revealed to you in step-by-step detail. This program is by no means new. It has been in existence in many forms for at least ten years. But in the early days, it required a lot more time and effort, as well as an outlay of a few hundred pounds. However, thanks to Pay Pal and the Internet, the outlay is now virtually zero. The entire process is also faster, easier, and more lucrative than it has ever been! This program works no matter what country you are in, or what currency you use. It doesn’t matter how old or how young you are. You don’t need to run a website, make phone calls, photocopies, or send out letters through the mail, or pay for advertising, and you don’t require any technical expertise. The only things you will need are:

·An email address
·A Premier or Business Pay Pal account with at least £3 deposited in it. (Its free! Details on how to obtain this follow)
(The process takes approximately 30 minutes to complete.)

LETS GET STARTED

Follow the instructions EXACTLY as set out below.

STEP ONE:
If you’re not already a Pay Pal user, the first thing you need to do is use the Pay Pal link below and sign up.

Here’s the URL: https://www.paypal.com/uk/mrb/pal=HRPCUSJ43SS82

Be sure to use this link so you can sign up for a free PREMIER or BUSINESS account. You’ll need to have a PREMIER or BUSINESS account (and not a PERSONAL account) otherwise you won’t be able to receive credit card payments from other people.

STEP TWO:
The first thing to do when you have your Premier/Business Pay Pal account is to send a £3 payment from your Pay Pal account to the FIRST email address in the list below, along with a note saying: “Please add me to your mailing list.” Be certain to add this note, as this is what KEEPS THIS PROGRAM LEGAL. Instructions on how to send a payment are under “SEND MONEY” at the Pay pal Site.

Here’s the current list:

(1) [email protected]
(2) [email protected]
(3) [email protected]
(4) [email protected]
(5) [email protected]

STEP THREE:
Once you’ve sent a £3 payment to the address at the top of the list (along with your note – this is VERY important! DO NOT FORGET TO ADD IT) the next thing you need to do is to obtain a copy of this email message and send it out to at least 40 people. The copy that you will send out will contain YOUR email address at number FIVE in the list – having deleted the address at Number 1 in the list, and moving the others up a position. The easiest way to do this is to highlight and paste the all of this text into a new e-mail message and make the relevant adjustments.

·The first thing to edit is the email addresses in the list above. Delete the top email address, and then move the others up a position, and then add your email address to the bottom of the list (the number 5 position). Be sure to use your email address that is associated with your Pay Pal account. But do not forget to send £3 via Pay Pal (along with your note) to the email address at position number 1 before deleting it. (Don’t be tempted to add your name to position 1 in order to earn money fast. It doesn’t work like that. If you do that, you will only reach the people you directly send emails to, and then your name will be immediately removed from the No.1 place. By adding your name to the Number 5 position, there will be literally thousands of people receiving and sending e-mail’s later – when your name is at the Number 1 spot)

·Now you need to edit the Pay Pal referring URL (shown above in Step 1) with your own Pay Pal referring URL. You can find your referring URL at Pay pal after you join. Just look at the bottom of the first page once you sign into Pay pal, and click on the “referrals” link. You will be given a referring URL similar to the one above, except the code number at the end will be different. Simply delete the current Pay Pal referral URL in Step 1 above, and replace it with your Pay Pal referral URL

Once you’ve edited your email message as outlined above, send out a minimum of 40 copies of this email – but only to people you know, or to people who respond to MLM offers, or to people who’ve sent you offers as this will prove most lucrative to you (the chance of the recipient taking up the programme is more likely)
.
FURTHER INFORMATION
When you send out your emails, your email address will initially be at Number 5 in the list. That’s the best position it can be in at this stage if you want to make serious money. On average, you can expect a response from about 25% of the people you send to. But let’s be extremely conservative here and assume that you receive an average response rate of only 12.5%. If you send out your email to 40 different people, you can expect at least 5 of those people to do exactly what you did (12.5% of 40 = 5). By this time, your email address will have moved up to No.4 in the list, and this list will now have reached around 200 people (5×40). Out of those 200 people, you can expect at least 25 of them to participate (12.5% of 200 = 25), so that’s a further 1,000 emails (25×40) being sent out and your email address will have risen to No.3 in the list. Out of those 1,000 people, you can expect at least 125 of them to participate (12.5% of 1,000 = 125), so that’s a further 5,000 emails (125×40) being sent out with you now at the No.2 position. Out of those 5,000 people, you can expect at least 625 of them to respond (12.5% of 5,000 = 625), so that’s 25,000 emails (625×40) being sent out with your address at the No.1 spot! Now, out of those 25,000 people, you can expect around 3,125 of them to respond (12.5% of 25,000 = 3,125). And since you will now be at number 1 in the list, you will receive: £9,375 (3,125 x £3). This amount will enter your Pay Pal account in £3 payments. The first payments will arrive within a few days, and they will continue at the rate of about 100 payments per day for about 30 days. After that time, the volume of payments begins to taper off as your email address vacates the Number 1 position. But there’s more!!! For each person who signs up with Pay Pal as a result of using your unique referral URL, you will automatically receive a referral bonus of up to £75 from Pay Pal!

If you want to operate this business continuously, you should consider obtaining bulk lists of email addresses from a reputable mailing list company. If you already have a legitimate mailing list, then this would be the most profitable way to make use of it. There are many websites that sell thousands of fresh opt-in email addresses of people who have subscribed to receive exactly this type of program. For example, check out: BusinessMailing.co.uk and Email2Success.com.
No cheating can occur as Pay pal only allows one account per person. Because it is so easy, the response rate is very high and very fast – Internet email fast, and you will start seeing dramatic results in less than one week! Pay Pal lets you pay anyone with an email address and is the world’s Number 1 online payment service. Pay Pal is accepted on over 3 million eBay auctions as well as a countless number of online shops. You can also use Pay Pal to pay your friends – for example, it’s a convenient way to split the phone bill with your room-mate, send cash to your kids in college, or send cash to someone in another country. Better yet, you can also earn a referral bonus of up to £75 each time someone signs up for a Pay Pal account using your referral URL! When you send money through Pay Pal, you can fund your payments with your credit card or cheque account. You won’t have to worry about your privacy, because Pay Pal keeps your accounting information safe and secure. Making a purchase with Pay Pal is far more secure than mailing a cheque or giving your credit card number to a stranger. That’s why over 9 MILLION people from around the world use Pay Pal to move money. Signing up for a Pay Pal account is free, easy, and it takes only a couple of minutes.

Finally, it is advisable that you keep a record of all the e-mails you receive as this provides proof you are conducting a legal business.

Thank you for taking time to reads this and good luck to all those who chose to take advantage of this amazing opportunity.

ORANJESTAD, Aruba - Felix rapidly strengthened into a dangerous Category 5 hurricane and churned through the Caribbean Sea on a path toward Central America, where forecasters said it could make landfall as “potentially catastrophic” storm.
Felix was packing winds of up to 165 mph as it headed west, according to the U.S. National Hurricane Center. It was projected to skirt Honduras’ coastline on Tuesday before slamming into Belize on Wednesday.
“As it stands, we’re still thinking that it will be a potentially catastrophic system in the early portions of this week, Tuesday evening, possibly affecting Honduras and then toward the coast of Belize,” said Dave Roberts, a hurricane specialist at the center in Miami.
