Do You Post the "Really Good Info"

    I have an important, yet really general question. Please read on.

    Currently I own 4 businesses (not online stuff). And 1 online business.

    Why is this important? Well it gives me a good perspective for online vs. standard marketing practices. Here is one thing that I have learned, over and over from my clients.

    If they find a really cool way to make cash, they keep it to themselves. For example, I have a client that sells cell phones that out-sells the other 10 dealers in the area by 5:1. He makes a pile of money, and he won't tell me how he does it, let alone telling his competition.

    One of my companies is a marketing consulting company. I have 2 or 3 sources of clients that pay huge dividends (I have not spent 1 dime in advertising in the last 9 years). I am always eager to give advice, but I leave 2-3 cherries out.

    Here is my question:
    Do you leave out "the cream" when you are posting? Do you hold your best performing ideas close to your chest? I am interested to view your responses.

    PS. If you want to know how my cell phone client makes all the money, I will be publishing an e-book on how he makes all of this money very soon.........just kidding. I couldn't resist! He still won't tell me..........sigh.

    Without good information about company or product, on one will read. Visitor don't like.
    Keep in mind when start articles writing. Best content can make rich and poor content may die.

    How do you know?

    No. There is no reason to, because not may people read a particualr thread. And that poster is asking for help, so....

    All dealers sell from the same main telecom provider in this market, so the top level company gives us comparitive stats. It is actuall more like 9.7:1 but I like round numbers ;)

    Unless you have good information there is no meaning of promoting it anywhere. Its totally useless efforts to do so. Both google and visitors like to have unique, fresh and latest content then only you can rank for your website
