Adding value to your site, service, or product is one of the most over looked and under rated strategies for improving your internet business.

Direct mail fundraising, like all effective fundraising, is about raising friends rather than raising funds. Raising a friend is always more important in the long term (the only term worth considering in fundraising) than raising a dollar. And losing a donor is always worse than losing a dollar.

When I watched John Stossell's show on the comparison between Michael Jordan's Air Jordan sneaker line and Stephon Marbury's Starbury line, I quickly realized that greed in America is becoming more and more the rule rather than the exception. To wit, the shoe experts cut open the two brands of sneakers and found that there were no essential differences -only price. That Marbury can sell his shoes for $15 while Jordan sells his for up to $175-200 per pair only shows that marketing hype is big business and that some people are just never satisfied in ripping off the public.
