Flat Tires, Slow Leaks, and Online Marketing
Does your online marketing campaign have a flat tire?
Or is it more like a slow leak?Today my 16 year old son Fritz called on the cell phone from high school.
Mom took the call.
"Could Dad fix my flat tire during the day?"
Of course I would fix it.And then it hit me.
Knowing you have a flat tire is a lot better than not knowing.
Unfortunately, when your online marketing campaign has a flat tire or a slow leak, it may take a while before you realize it or fix it.My e-book website has had a few flat tires and a few slow leaks.
Bad e-book cover, slow website loads, advertising to people who would never buy, and other problems.
But I think I've repaired the flats and the slow leaks.
I hope.Here's my first online flat tire.
When I first published my e-book on the Internet in November of 2003, my e-book cover was running at a loss.

Retreads: The Highest and Best Use for a Worn Tire
(ARA) - Although they may look round and black, retreaded tires are one of the greenest, environmentally friendly products a fleet can buy. Retreaded tires have one of the highest post-consumer contents of all recycled products, and are responsible for saving North Americans more than 400 million gallons of oil every year. Most people don't know that tires contain a very large percentage of synthetic rubber, which is petroleum based. Every time a truck tire is retreaded there is a savings of approximately 15 gallons of oil. In addition, every tire that is retreaded is one less tire for our overcrowded landfills.
"I don't know of any other recycled product that saves as much money for the end user as a retreaded tire. When you add these savings into the natural resources that are saved and the positive impact this has on the environment, using retreads is a win, win solution for both the transportation industry and the environment," said Martin Bozarth, executive director of the...
