Anyone had any previous marketing/business/advertising experience?

The best book I have read on such things is "Guerrilla Marketing" by Jay Conrad Levinson..

Amazon.com: Guerrilla Marketing, 4th edition: Easy and Inexpensive Strategies for Making Big Profits from Your Small Business (9780618785919): Jay Conrad Levinson: Books

It's mainly written for people starting small business or getting started with marketing and advertising... It's not the most in depth marketing book and would probably be useless to a big corporation, but for someone starting out such as yourself (and me when I read it) it is really the best book to start with...
Can pick it up real cheap there from Amazon.... I noticed they have a new one out which is listed there under "frequently bought together" which may be even more suited to you although I havn't looked at it at all..


It's just a great interesting book anyway even if you didn't go ahead with your project..

I read your post but forget to mention, it contains a lot of idea's for getting your business out there for little to no money.... Where the actual idea's stop, reading the book will get you thinking creatively and you'll probably come up with tonne's of great idea's yourself.... Definitely can't recommend grabbing that book any higher..

If you are on the comp a lot I suggest an e-business...Don't really know what you are able to take on but if you can type ( meaning at a good speed 70 and higher per min)you can find plenty of people looking for data entry and website updating....

Like my sisters friend who makes tons just updating mailing list for people who own a few weight loss centers and sell products like medifast on the internet....It is effortless...I mean this is a real business she owns...This is all she does...even has employees

Hope that helps a little
