  <body>&lt;p&gt;As a lover of all 'P' words... I have to get them the title when I can.&amp;nbsp; What do you think? &amp;nbsp;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Marketing is easy.&amp;nbsp; Here is why:&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;
&lt;li&gt;It is not about marketing or advertising, it is about making invitations.&amp;nbsp; A mindset of &quot;Invitations&quot; is easy.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;If you make an invitation and the &quot;widget / concept&quot; in your bag will change someone's life... it is not marketing, it is service.&amp;nbsp; Giving service has purpose and is easy.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Do marketing first.&amp;nbsp; Marketing is something to start the day with.&amp;nbsp; &quot;Making invitations&quot; then while waiting for RSVP, production and maintenance occurs.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Until marketing / invitations are finished each day, there is no production.&amp;nbsp; So marketing is easy because of the mindset to do it first.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Google &quot;marketing ideas&quot;.&amp;nbsp; 77 million results.&amp;nbsp; (some of them mine)&amp;nbsp; There is no shortage of marketing ideas (and for me... I get to dream them)&amp;nbsp; Marketing ideas easy.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;People are shouting what they want (not literally) and the information about the subject matter of their searches is free.&amp;nbsp; https://adwords.google.com/select/KeywordToolExternal&amp;nbsp; No longer have to guess as to what the common person is wanting.&amp;nbsp; Knowing what the average person is seeking is easy.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Google Blog search offers a big opportunity to listen to the sense of anyone's industry.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;When people get a life changing widget / concept and it is successful, the look on their face and the glee in their voice is motivational juice.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Technology is rampat.&amp;nbsp; Growing (out of control?) and providing tools to blow the mind. (some I talk about in my &lt;a href=&quot;http://rejuvenateyourrestaurant.com/Magic-Marketing-Tips.html&quot; title=&quot;Marketing Ideas&quot;&gt;10 Magic Marketing Tips&lt;/a&gt; ebook)&amp;nbsp; New tchnology makes it easier (though a learning curve)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;People want answers to their problems... and are seeking the answers.&amp;nbsp; Matching widget / concept to answers makes it easier.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;Special Interests are more obvious with technology.&amp;nbsp; With the culture divided based on interests and geography, it is easier to do marketing.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;During hard times the minds are more open to innovation and solution provider.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;The numbers are already proven for each type of marketing method and statistical data is available with a click.&amp;nbsp; (This means if 2% is the response rate, connect with as many people as necessary)&amp;nbsp; Need for people to buy 100 per month?&amp;nbsp; then connect with 5000 per month at 2%.&amp;nbsp; --- and increase the redemption!)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is no magic way of how except the word &quot;do&quot;.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; (That's not true, I know of &quot;magical&quot; ways)&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Yes, there is the unspoken and yet thought of &quot;risk&quot; everyone considers.&amp;nbsp; Create more F.A.T. and confidence is created.&amp;nbsp; More F.A.T = confidence (purchases).&amp;nbsp; (F.A.T. = Faith And Trust)&amp;nbsp; :)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Make invitations to people which will impact their personal or professional life with a widget or concept.&amp;nbsp; If an improved quality of life is not a potential outcome with the widget / concept then is the purpose a transaction / sale?&amp;nbsp; or is the purpose problem solving and offering value?&amp;nbsp; Perplexity of Purpose might exist?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;The Perplexity of Purpose occurs each day for anyone in business.&amp;nbsp; Stephen Covey talks about &quot;Do First Things First&quot;. What is the first and most important thing?&amp;nbsp; Is it marketing?&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; Marketing is the gas.&amp;nbsp; Marketing is offense.&amp;nbsp; Without making invitations, listening, bragging, shouting, offering widget / concept, the product sits on a shelf.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Are you ready to make invitations, create F.A.T. and will it be easy?&amp;nbsp; Is &quot;easy&quot; simply a mindset?&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;There is no Perplexity of Purpose ... DO marketing first and don't move on until the invitations are made.&amp;nbsp; Produce and promote products with a purpose of problem solving and invite people to participate.&amp;nbsp; (Love P words)&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Mike&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;</body>
