So I saw a post by @Stephen Dillard promoting his company(I'm pretty sure it was in an appropriate forum).

Self Promotion - You know BiggerPockets - we are strongly opposed to self promotion.

Not certain how that is self promoting ...

Anyone looking to promote or buy houses should read this guide and then read it again.

Which is always promoted.

With bandit signs being illegal almost everywhere; how effective is craigslist, news paper listings, and other media to promote your wholesale business?

DorseyI should also add that direct mail isn't the only way to create business1) center of influence promotion 2) lead sites like www.webuyhouses.com3) networking on BPWhen doing direct mail there are several sites I would use if I didn't own mine. 1) click2mail2) absolutely would try Jerry3) postcard mania

Heck if we spend an afternoon watching tv programming that you would never watch you'll notice commercials promoting products we like with a message that doesn't speak to you.

I'm bummed to learn that FB encourages/promotes credit card limit increases in order to afford their fees.

Not everyone can afford PR companies or news writers, but I think a few of us can help lead and show everyone else how to promote Bigger Pockets as a place showing investors how to do positive things the right way.
