Change is the law of life. And those who look only to the past or present are certain to miss the future. [John F. Kennedy]

Things may come to those who wait, but only the things left by those who hustle. [Abe Lincoln]

I agree. Pictures are important. You have all heard the phrase "A picture is worth a thousand words". If that's true, and I believe in that concept, then I do not have to have a picture + 1000 words. Waste of time. Most marketers don't want to waste their time reading all the words. Grab their attention with a picture and a few CHOICE WORDS and then send them to your website or your capture page. You are excited about your new program and you have already sent your ad to your warm list of friends and associates and NOW you are advertising to strangers. Most of your ads are going to strangers - you don't know what they like, what they're looking for or anything about them. So don't waste your time or theirs with minutia. After the picture and a short summary, Send them directly to your website. Let the website do the selling. Your job is to sponsor - sponsor - sponsor - sponsor - sponsor - sponsor - sponsor - ....I could go on, but I have to go sponsor a few

You can have everything in life you want, if you help enough other people get what they want. [Zig Ziglar]

Paypal is still my fav, but Payza is also a must-have; however, let's keep in mind that bit coins are fast becoming the payment of choice. One reason is that bitcoins are accepted in most places world wide.

I like this site. It seems easy to sponsor people.

Advertising on social media seems to be a waste of time. It seems the people in my social circle only want to talk about themselves. Maybe that's why it's called "social"

Life is endless waves of transformation. [Jerry Levine]

I would rather earn 1% of 100 people's efforts than 100% of my own efforts. [J. D. Rockefeller]

"I can't understand why people are frightened by new ideas. I'm frightened by old ones." - [John Cage]

Tommie, I get it. You don't like it. OK, but what about what the majority of people like. You are selling to them, not to yourself.

I agree that the message is super important, but if your contact never sees the message ........ I believe that it is our job to do the best that we can to lead the reader to the message. It all starts with your subject line. Is it compelling? Does it make us curious. OK, now they have clicked on it. What are they seeing? Is your message too long, too short or even boring. Is it plain old black on white? Here's where color and/or a photo can help. There is no question that our attention is drawn to pictures before words. My last comment: Don't forget you only have a few seconds to grab someone's attention. Make the most of it.

Thoughts determine what you want. But, Action determines what you get. [unknown]

I agree with many of the comments in this category. (Too numerous to mention). Here is something I have been doing lately, where HTML is allowed, just post a picture. Let's face it, since the web site is doing the selling, this saves the reader time. Also, you might just print 1 word or 1 very short phrase that is designed to make the reader curious.

Smart phones are great for texting and keeping track of kids and grandkids, but for business purposes I prefer a desktop or laptop. BTW, I dislike texting, but it is a necessary evil now-a-days. If you want to stay current, learn how to do it.

This is an important concept to keep in mind when advertising: "Emotions Are Stronger Than Intellect" [Jerry Levine]
