Traffic Generation

Traffic Generation is the outcome of an offer essentially designed to motivate people to visit a business.

A prime example of a traffic generator would be something like a sweepstakes. If you want to market and take command of a product and be competitive, traffic generators are crucial. Sometimes it will take money out of your own pocket to make profit in the long haul.

A sweepstakes motivates people to come to your business, test out products, and potentially buy the product, come back again, and even spread the word to the people they know. The downside is you could lose money, but the upside is much greater. Product knowledge is what marketing is all about. Get the people hyped and give them good service, and you will reap the rewards.

Stay On Top Of The Market.

Joint Ventures

A "joint venture" is an arrangement in which a foreign company and a local firm invest together to create a local business, sharing ownership, control, and profits of the new company.

Some people want to do it all themselves; marketing, accounting, finance, and all the things it takes to create and market a business. Where will this lead you? The bottom of the mountain. Without a supporting cast a marketer and entrepreneur cannot get the job done.. unless it is online.. potentially.

A joint venture can help a new firm or existing one, reach the top of the mountain through an already publicly known company. Use resources you can't attain by letting someone else do it for you, at a small expense or even none. Use someone else's skill and image to get ahead, it's ethical.

The downfall is that if there are discrepancies in methods or policies between the firms or the Government tries to bog your shit down. That ain't gangstaa.

Economic Espionage

"Economic Espionage is the clandestine collection of trade secrets or proprietary information about a company's competitor."

Basically economic espionage is the greasiest, and illegal, form of getting your competitors secrets via trespassing, theft, fraud, wire tapping, and even bribes!

Even going through a competitors trash is seen as EE, so don't get caught being a criminal, get someone else to do it for you!

Canadian and American companies lose billions of dollars each year by uncovering espionage in some form. This also shows that in order to better market yourself and company, you need to do this to get the upper hand.

In all fairness, if you have successfully wire tapped a competitor, you deserve all their secrets..

12 eggs

One time I had the buffet breakfast in the VIP Presidential Buffet with Young Buck. It was Buck. Consumed 12 eggs, 15 hashbrowns, 5 sausages, a mush pile of bacon potatoes, and 5 bowls of fruit. Yo I had 12 eggs, how legit is that? Yo 12 eggs.

If you haven't ate 12 consecutive egg's, you haven't lived. Do it. Just Doit.

NBA Playoffs 2010 || Where Will Amazing Happen This Year ? ||

As always the playoffs in the NBA is ridiculous. This year most people would think that the Cavaliers will walk there way right into the finals with arguably the most dominant player in the world. Let's be real, Kobe is still my go to guy.

The team to look out for is the Phoenix Suns in the west. Although they have a questionable defense at times, they have the players that can make it happen, and a bench that can bring heat as well. There offense is unstoppable even against a great Portland defense. Nash, Amare, and Richardson can put up 30 points each on any given night and are always making plays to better players like Grant Hill. I'm not saying they can knock off the Lakers, but look out for detox. Suns baby!

In the east the team to look out for should have been the Raptors... but they didn't make it, so now it's the.. actualy Cleveland is going all the way, let's face facts here. Even if the team can't perform, which they will, LeBron can carry them like he has before when they had less pieces to the puzzle. To back that up, if THE GAME (rap mogul) mentions you in a song, you must be a baller.

Where will Amazing Happen ?

152 Sims Avenue

152 Sims Avenue is a house dedicated to immoral and relentless drama. From puke face to "get out of here, this isn't a daycare" 152 has seen it's fair share of drama. As 152's number 1 fan I am entitled to endorse and rectify its true meaning to the world, specifically, Tillicum Victoria.

At first it was seen as a party house, actually, it still is one and the summer of 2010 will be buck nasty || you heard it here first ||

Although 152 is seen as a happy place, it has seen its fair share of troubles. Black people falling out of second story windows, fences being broken in massive scraps, and at least 7 scenario's that I can count, where Kevin Ogborne (facebook him) has had his room puked in. For some reason the party is in his room or the laundry room. Personally, I'm sick of the laundry room, nothing is safe in there unless you have a gun or your name is Spencer.

The only real relevance to even writing about 152 is the fact that this summer the house needs to be abused via : parties, drinking, drugs, sex, sex, and lots of crying. I intend to manifest at least 60% of these occurrence's on a personal level either directly or indirectly.

|| Hype ||

What is the point of hype? In the professional world, it can be used to suck every dollar out of your fans bases' pocket before a major event as well as build up something that is BIG or not big enough. In my world, hype is pretty much all about being cocky (aka confident!) and backing up that hype through my actions.

The name "Young Gunn" comes from a highly "hyped" event where I was going head to head with the world's greatest NBA 2K10 Xbox player. For weeks this event took on a social manifestation that became so realistic that the immense pressure almost got to me ;)Needless to say, I got hella spankied. The hype, however, put this globally known match up on the map and it was watched by millions aka Young Buck aka J3ffK. My first example of hype.

My second example of Hype is NBA centre Kwame Brown. To avoid details, he's a muck.

Marketing a lot of the time has to do with hype. Marketing the world is really easy once you have people's attention and keep thumping the idea, event, or new product into "the people's" head. Young Buck once told me "it's all about freaking out", hype is basically freaking out about something until people know about it, the rest is the buzzing from word of mouth. Terrell Owens is the king of hype and the king of freaking out : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LE0JF4wwkZg&playnext_from=TL&videos=g7XrKF1jJV0.
