I choose salient colors (Yellow, green or red) studies show your marketing will be seen.

We Buy Houses has been the kicker, I've tried lot's of different messages.

supercheapsigns.com is where I buy mine.

Then after awhile, you will stop worrying about what others have or make in relation to yourself.

Once that happens, you will find yourself free to pursue whatever makes you happy with worrying about how you stack up against others financially, socially or any other way you can imagine.

Once you reach that point, another very interesting thing happens. You might find yourself one of the ones others compare themselves to. :wink:


Well said!

We have an affliction. Forces of influence. This one sounds like reciprocity. It seems obvious that you should've said "next" awhile ago.

Read Robert Cialdini or better yet get the itunes version.

Better to understand your illness to be able to overcome it.

I'd recommend finding out what you want to do, find a good study course here at BP on the subject and move forward.

I don't recommend reading this website as a pure learning tool. That would be like watching politics on 24 hour news channels and expecting to figure out what is really going on. Get focused material, then come back here when you need clarification.

What does flipping give you? Equity

I agree with everyone! It depends on what you want / need.

I work with a guy that does amazing flash. He's built my websites... so if you want something with "emotion" outside the box, we can get it done for $350-$400 with video capability. Once you've paid for the site you pay like $4 a month for godaddy. This isn't my business, but if you're interested email or PM me.

Good luck,

Jim
