ADVERTISING MEDIUM...
A wise real-estate agent who happened to have been the most successful house guy in my area told me that all smart entrepreneurs and sales guys own their own medium of advertising. You see... this guy published a small free newspaper about the community. He featured parks, community, people, and unique things, etc. in his paper. He also included ads from other businesses including his own real-estate ads. His little paper established him as "THE Salesman" when it comes to buying and selling houses. He also made a nifty profit from others who paid for ads in his newspaper.
I started a newspaper 5 years ago after talking with this guy called Nothing But Good News. This paper highlights churches, small businesses, children, schools, etc. You guessed it...... I advertise my insurance business for free along with other paid advertisers who generate me a nifty profit every month. You can't beat owning your own medium of advertising!
How can you start your own medium of advertising? May be you can start a radio show (sell ads)..... May be a newsletter...... may be an e-zine (I would sell ads)..... may be a message board like this one (sorry, I would sell ads if I had a message board, no links)..... may be a local TV show (sell ads).... etc.
