When you think about the greatest salesman ever, theoretically, arguments would last forever as to who that person should be. That rich guy in Babylon, Joe Vitale, Zig Ziglar, Dubya, Jay Abraham, Madame CJ Walker, Ray Croc, Charles Goggins would all have legitimate arguments for their respective ideologies, companies, products and/or services.
My friend Adam Bush recently passed after fighting Leukemia. Adam loved life and he persevered and fought long and hard! Although his chances were slim from the start of his treatments, I thought that if anyone could win that battle, it would be Adam. I never once heard Adam complain, wince or cry aloud about what he was going through. He blamed no one and continued to do what he loved all the way to his last days. He was a great man, son and father!
I met Adam 20+ years ago by fate. Adam had called in inquiring about the technology services of Megaplex the company I worked for at the time. I don't remember how, but one of our operators, Laverne Heard personally walked his lead slip back to me. Being one of 5 reps, any one of us could have got that lead but for some reason she gave it to me and told me that she felt I should call him. After my stint with Megaplex, I ended up working in sales for Adam.
Adam, in his twenties, had recently created Georgia Beeper an upstart communications company. GA Beeper's twist was that we didn't require a credit check for our customers. We were the only company doing this. It's hard to remember now but in the mid 80's beepers were the only way to instantly communicate. Back then, depending on the paging company, beepers might require a $450 deposit. So when GA Beeper came out with the no credit check hook, GA Beeper was an instant success. We also delivered the beeper to your residence or business. Brilliant!
We sold beepers in Atlanta like you wouldn't believe. Adam grew and employed 20+ people at one time. Adam was an innovator. He invented the "Super Beeper" which was a tone only pager matched with a feature rich voice mail box. Tone pagers had become obsolete once digital pagers were introduced. Adam found a way to buy cheap inventories of tone only pagers and extend their life by combining them with this voice mail box. Voice mail was new and just catching on and people saw value in voice recorded messaging. Adam was quick to find opportunity where no one else was looking.
Adam went into his studio and cut some catchy commercials and put them on the radio. Needless to say, the "Super Beeper" and GA Beeper sold thousands. Adam later changed the name of the company to BeepSouth Paging and ended up with 20+ locations spread around the metro. What was significant about this was that no one else was doing this. The other paging companies had offices that you visited to get your beepers. Adam brought the stores to the suburbs. This was well before the Verizons, Sprints and other communication stores as we know them today. Adam invented the communication distribution method that they use to this day.
Adam was a brilliant marketer! Brilliant in Sales. Brilliant people person. Adam was like a chameleon, he could blend with the janitorial staff, CEO or Heads of State. Positive attitude like you wouldn't believe. Always unashamedly optimistic! He was always a student to learn and he could quickly apply principles and concepts better than anyone I had ever seen. His early marketing training came with internships at NBC and ABC New York. It was with Jay Abraham and Dave Del Dotto that he learned his early marketing secrets. Adam would attend seminars, marketing and diversity workshops and conferences where he would learn new strategies. He was always 8 steps ahead of whoever he was talking to and was able to call on many people when he needed.
Adam moved into advertising where he worked with some of the biggest companies in ad placement and creation. Eventually, he came full circle and started a video production company where he produced and directed music videos, commercials and corporate videos. He was moving toward feature film production before his illness. Adam's work was always the best. Low budget music videos never looked low budget. www.adambushfilms.com
Adam and I shared a lot of similar interest. We were both technology and gadget people. We were fathers who loved, nurtured and supported our children. We shared a love for the art of marketing, advertising and sales. We loved video production and often talked about camera angles and music used in NY Under Cover and MTV. We worked on music projects together. There was nothing that this guy couldn't set his mind to doing and Just Do It! I could write a long book on why Adam Bush is a candidate for being one of the Greatest Salesman Ever.
At Adam's memorial service State of Man, one of Adam's video clients performed their song Swallow Your Fears. Adam directed this song's video and special requested that they play it at his service. They mentioned that they were a little nervous playing a rock song at a funeral. But once you heard this, guitar only, version of the song it melted your heart to tears. You understood why Adam loved it! It was truly his lifetime creed and theme . . . Swallow Your Fears! (See the video here)
At the service, others came forward to say how Adam had helped them to be better people. Many pointed to successes in their lives that they could attribute to his words, actions or examples. Many spoke in awe of things that they witnessed with Adam. How they were just amazed at how Adam worked any situation to his favor against all seeming odds. When trouble he was beset, he moved forward! I can remember that about him too! The next day, I sat down with Randy Fling and Adam's childhood friend John Johnson and we had a chance to "Exhale" about our friend.
I have sooo many stories that I could tell. I too am a better person, better marketer, communicator and sales person all for knowing and being associated with Adam Bush. No more Fiddle Faddle for me! Thanks Adam.
Friendship Is Truly Essential To The Soul and I will truly miss my Brother! Long Live The Spirit of Samuel Adam Bush! I miss you Sammy! Rest In Peace

The Greatest Salesman Ever

Website Mistakes That Kill Your Sales - Pt. 2
In the first part of this blog, I covered 5 basic website design mistakes. This week I am going to highlight 5 more. Stay clear of these 10 mistakes to have a chance of a successful sales driven website.
Mistake # 6 – Confusing Navigation
Never require your visitor to have to figure out how to get around on your site, like a maze. Have a simple, clear navigation layout. It’s frustrating for your visitors to have to guess about your website, or to not know exactly where they are going when they click a link. A confused mind does not do what you want! A confused mind rarely makes a purchase.
Mistake # 7 - Music
Unless you are a band selling your songs, having music start playing automatically when your visitor reaches your home page is not a good idea. It’s subpar-cheesy and screams “I designed this site myself.” Plus, people have their own tastes in their music – most of them different than yours. Having music play/loop on your website might be just about the quickest way to cause your visitors to hit the back button as fast as they can.
Mistake # 8 – Frames/Too Much Java
Avoid the use of frames in the structure of your website. Search engines don’t like them. To prevent phishing, most updated browsers don't like them. They also increase the time it takes for your site to load. Pages using frames often can’t be printed. If your visitor likes an article they read in a frame, they often can’t book mark it from your page. This could have an effect on your return traffic.
Mistake # 9 - Boring and Wordy Writing
You can’t sell by boring your reader. Your headline has to get your scanner reading. But if your first sentence is boring, your reader will go on to the next site. The easiest next step for a reader to take is always to stop reading and find something else that’s more interesting. Each sentence must be so interesting that your reader reads the next sentence. Don't be ashamed to hire a sales writer. Watch the wordiness.
Mistake # 10 – Making it too difficult to buy
Make it as easy to buy from you as possible. The more steps that a buyer has to take, the less likely they are to buy. Sites often require too much information from the buyer. And filling out the order form is a multi-click process. The first page you provide your name and email address. The next page your provide your address. The next page you provide your credit card information. There’s too much friction.
Half of your shoppers, who are trying to buy, abandon the "Buy" process half way through. You've made it too difficult to do business. People shop on the Internet primarily because it’s convenient.
Always strive to reduce friction to buying your goods. Always strive to simplify!
There you have them, my top 10 Website Design Mistakes That Kill Your Sales. Are there more than these 10? Sure. Is there room for improvement from your website? Are your sales increasing from your website? Chances are you have some of these same design mistakes. Retool & Simplify!
Here's some additional great reading: Writing Sales Copy That Get Results!
Happy Marketing!

Website Design Mistakes That Kill Your Sales
I often get hired to critique websites after they are up. Oft my clients want to find out why their sites aren't hitting the sales numbers that they initially projected. Most of the time my client's have hired a web design person to build this award winning sales idea that they have for a product or service.
Web designers are great, but just because they can design doesn't mean that they understand online sales and marketing design. Just because they can create a website doesn't mean that they know how to maximize layouts for the sales of your products. Most of the time, to get paid, they want to make you happy by providing what You say you want. Here lies part of the problem. So what you get is a great graphical site that makes no sales. Looks great though!
Having ample traffic to your site also helps, because you can have the greatest website in the world, but if no one knows you are there, it is just a great website. For this blog post, I am going to concentrate on design mistakes which if corrected will help increase your sales. We will delve into building traffic another time.
Instead of placing all of my suggestions in just one posting, I am going to spread them out over a few postings over the next few days. Here goes:
Mistake # 1 - Opening your website with a Flash page
Opening a website with Flash (a mini-movie) can be very cool looking. Website designers and graphic artists love them because they are so pretty and it showcases their technical skills. But Internet surfers can’t stand them because they are usually searching for information.
A Flash page (which often takes a LONG time to load) stands between your visitor and the key information they are looking for -- also between your reader and your sales pitch.
When people type keywords into a search engine, they are looking for information. No one types “show me sites with Flash page introductions.” In fact, if a searcher gets to your site and is greeted with an elaborate Flash presentation, half will leave your site before they ever get to your sales presentation. Search engines also hate Flash pages. Search engines are interested in content and in delivering information to searchers.
Mistake #2 - Requiring readers to click a link rather than scroll to finish reading the information or sales presentation.
Award-winning websites want all information on a page to fit on your screen because it looks neater and tighter -- more award winning. It’s easier for readers to scroll than to click a link.
Scrolling allows readers to hold their finger on a button and scan your headlines and subheads. If something grabs their interest, they can read (without clicking). Clicking and waiting for another page to load takes time. It’s annoying to a reader. It’s a stopper -- kind of like intermission at a long movie or play. If the movie isn’t much good, the Intermission is often when they leave, for good.
The average time a surfer spends on a Website is about six seconds. Don’t waste time by making your reader click and wait to read. Put the entire article, your entire sales presentation on one page, even if your reader must scroll and scroll and scroll to read everything on the sales page. Now that's not saying that you shouldn't have sections to your website. But if you are selling a widget, have all the information about that widget on the same page.
Mistake #3 - Too many graphics, not enough attention to your sales copy
Copy sells. Pictures and graphics are supporting exhibits for the copy. The award-winning websites are mixed with copy and graphics -- and beautiful to look.
Copy sells because copy is needed to provide your readers reasons and compelling arguments for why they should buy and buy now. And copy allows you to start building a relationship with your reader, essential for having any chance of closing a sale. The Bible has no pictures, no photos -- just lots of text. And it’s the bestselling book of all time.
People search the internet for information (text), not graphics or pretty layouts. No one types “beautiful site with pictures” as a modifier to keywords describing their topic of interest. Plus, search engines can’t read graphics and so they can’t index graphics. And graphics take time to load.
What you want for your site is a nice, clean professional layout that’s almost all text. Pay attention to correct spelling!
Mistake #4 - Lack of focus
So often I get to a website and or Myspace page and can’t quite figure out what the website is selling or what I’m being asked to do. What is the message? Websites should be dedicated to selling one thing or one service, or asking your reader to take one and only one action (even if the only action is to read the article).
If you sell many different products and services, you should have many different Websites dedicated to each product and service you sell. The reason is, when people search the internet with their keywords, they are looking for one and only one thing. They will buy from the website that is selling that one and only one thing --because it appears to visitors that this is your area of specialty.
If you have a car problem, you want a mechanic to fix it -- not a jack of all trades handyman. If you have foot problem, you want to see a foot specialist, not a general practitioner. So if you make hats and pressure wash houses, have two websites, one dedicated to your hat designs, the other pressure washing houses. Narrow has always been the gate to paradise in direct marketing. This is even more true in the age of the Internet, where people are looking for your service or product with highly focused keyword searches.
Mistake #5 - No attention-getting headlines or subheads.
Web surfers are scanners. A headline is like a hand that taps your scanner on the shoulder and says “look right here.” Headlines and subheads tell your scanners what all this text is about. And it’s good for your headlines to say something unusual --if possible to peak “human interest.” Here’s a pretty good one: “How My 9-Year-Old Son Earned $750 Last Week With His New Online Business.” Free offers make good headlines, i.e.: “Here’s Your Free . . .”
Headlines are what literally suck your readers into your copy. If your headlines are fascinating, your readers won’t mind reading a lot of small print to get the details.
Ok, these are a few of the mistakes that I see on most websites. There are many more and over the next few days, I am going to post several more. As always I welcome your comments and emails.
Happy Marketing,

Indie Label 101-MusicBizToolBox.com is A Must!
About a year ago Bryan Calhoun, music industry insider, told me about his latest software project that he was working on. He was calling it Music Business Toolbox. It was going to be a working tool box solving several business issues that Indie Artist and Indie Labels face in the music industry. It was going to automate a lot of the grunt work of running the label and managing the artist projects. (If you read my blog you know I am a big fan of automation.)
We compared notes on what were the most pressing issues facing today's music artist and labels. Bryan consults a number of major and Indie labels. One of his major artist just won several Grammys and is one of the hottest artist out right now. Bryan regularly speaks or moderates panels at all of the major music conferences. Some of the hottest names in today's music market call on Bryan to help negotiate their revenue deals and solve their problems. I tell you this only to show that Bryan knows a thing or two about the music business.
We agreed that most Indie Artist/Labels didn't know how to identify business opportunities and revenue streams in Today's music market. How to set up the automated label to run like a major label. How to sell music online and how to track sales. How to track publishing payments from various royalty collectors. From a label's perspective, how to track expenses for several artist at the same time. When do they get paid? How to track expenses associated from various projects? How to do co publishing deals and track those payments? How to keep up with the release schedule? How do you track your intellectual properties? Is this CD too expensive to put out? What price do I have to sell it for to break even? How many radio spins did we have last week? How will marketing expenses impact the overall budget? Should we even do this project?
After my conversation with Bryan, I knew that this was going to be a huge undertaking for him. Bryan called me a few weeks ago and after months of hard work, told me that Music Biz Toolbox was finally ready. He asked me to check it out and to give him my honest opinion. I just finished my review and here's what I can tell you. WOW, It is exactly what you have been looking for! By far it's the best set of music tools that I have ever seen under one package. The part that I like is that the features are integrated. The part that you will like is that it comes with a FREE DEMO. I have all of my music clients outfitted with the Tool Box.
The Music Biz Toolbox (MBT) is not just an electronic book. It is a complete set of templates, spreadsheets, forms, applications, information and instructions for you. These music business tools provide easy-to-understand experienced guidance to help new and established label executives manage their companies and releases. Whether you are putting out your own album or starting a record label with several artists, the MBT will help you achieve your goals. Marketing, forms, radio, royalties, trademarks, publishing, splits, release schedules all included.
One of the things that I remember that Bryan said a year ago was that he wanted to make the Tool Box affordable for the mass artist and labels. I think that he has accomplished that by pricing it at only $49.95. Remember that there's a FREE DEMO, which makes this a real no brainer. Once you take a close look at the features and benefits, you will understand that he could be charging a whole lot more. Here's the link to his site www.musicbiztoolbox.com.
Much Success with your music!

Making $$ Online In Your Underwear -Truth or Fiction?
Back in 1996, I read somewhere that in the future people would make money with their computers online. In fact the caption headline was something like "Work from home in your underwear and Make Money!" As I sat and daydreamed about the day I could be making money from home in MY Underwear, I set out to learn as much as I could about Internet marketing.
At the time, I just wanted to subsidize my income from my then 9 to 5. Then 911 came and my six figure tech job decided to use the opportunity to clean house. I was laid off and I haven't had a 9 to 5 since! It hasn't been easy but I have been able to consistently grow a successful online marketing business. I sell all kinds of products and services. At last count, I have over 40 websites selling or sales supporting something.
My strength seems to be able to take products and or services, create a squeeze page with split testing, run some traffic and make sales. Sounds one two three easy when I say it, but it's not. I sometimes forget that I have been online for 11 years. I have been playing around with computers for about the same time. I studied marketing in college and I have been in sales for years. I believe in working smarter not harder so I automate a number of my basic daily functions. Many people don't have this experience and online marketing and admin is challenging to say the least.
Most people I speak with want to subsidize their income with online marketing. Some of these people have their own products and services and some don't. Some have bought into the online courses and joined a number of the "get rich quick" make 100K tonight schemes. They can always get excited about the online marketing potential but when it comes down to getting the work done . . . This is where their limited knowledge kicks in.
Everyone wants the quick one two three when it comes to making money online. Who has 10 years to putz around learning this stuff? Like the music business, everyone wants to be an overnight success!
If you find yourself in a similar situation, my words to you are that nothing happens overnight! I suggest always to learn and understand the basics. Once you learn the basics of online marketing you're in the drivers seat. Knowledge is power!
Kathie Lucas and Denise Hall have put together 47 Newbie Marketing Training Videos. I suggest these videos to my clients. They cover a ton of basic topics like . . . How to purchase a domain name, how to use FTP, HTML basics, how to set up your sales page, how to optimize your site for search engines. For $15.00, the price of a pizza, you could be well on your way to a successful career with online marketing.
Now true, you could just hire someone but then not understanding what they are doing doesn't help you in the long run. Why I suggest the videos is because you can watch them over and over or watch them while you are actually doing the work. You can use stop and pause functionality to learn while you work. Later if you still decide to hire someone at least they won't be able to take advantage of your lack of knowledge.
My experience says that making money online is both truth and fiction. Everyone marketing online is not making money but there are a lot of people who make hundreds, thousands and hundreds of thousands of dollars every day/week/month/year online while in their underwear. Those are my kind of people! Now if I could just learn how to make money while I sleep!
Click Here to get more information and order Kathie and Denise's 47 Newbie Videos.
Happy Marketing,

Is Myspace Marketing Still Relevant?
It seems like forever since I have had a chance to sit and write. Sales calls, new clients, new products and then on top of that, we moved Earwax ATL. With finding a building, negotiating the lease and 4000 boxes of vinyl records to move, there was little time to write.
Since I work with labels, artist and various businesses with their marketing. I have been answering questions lately about the relevancy of Myspace Marketing, so I thought it appropriate to address the subject globally.
The questions have come up because Myspace is not the media darling that it once was a year or two ago. Since Myspace has hit mainstream America, meaning all age groups, you don't hear people talking about it as much. A year ago, every day there was an article or TV news story either good or bad concerning Myspace. So the question remains, who's left on Myspace and do they really matter?
Several months ago, there was an article that came out that attempted to identify the demographics of Myspace compared to Facebook. You might remember that the implications were that Myspace was for the social misfits and Facebook was more of the affluent and educated. Hmmm. What are the code word messages here?
Although the initial upswing fever may have subsided, Myspace is still a source of great opportunity! Like all opportunities though, You have to be prepared for them. You have to recognize the gold mine opportunities and know how to extract them. Millions of people still use Myspace every day! For millions of people worldwide, their Myspace profile is their contribution and they take their space seriously!
Last year at music marketing panels that I would attend, people/artist/some fellow panelist would say "You know that all those people on Myspace are not real!" I would reply ok, so let's take 200 million Myspace profiles and cut that number in half. Let's go further and cut that in half, let's cut that in half and then take half of that number. If my math is correct that's still 12.5 million people/Myspace profiles. Still a population larger than Atlanta. Do you as a artist/person/panelist have any other source where you have the potential to reach 12.5 million people sitting in front of your computer daily? Free? Ok, cut that last number in half, do you have any other source to reach 6.25 million people? Free?
Myspace reaches several demographics. The problem that most people, artist, labels, businesses have with their Myspace marketing is that they don't have a Myspace/Social Network marketing plan. What do we really want out of our social network marketing experience? Usually, there's no focus on the profile page with a plan to extract any results.
On a minimum, Myspace or any social network should assist you in increasing your email list. Smart marketers know that the money is in the list or the things that you can do with the list once you have it. Many artist/business pages have so much irrelevant gooney goo goo, that the poor visitor is confused as to what they are supposed to do. Are they there to buy music/product? Listen to music? Read the unrelated blogs, view pictures, date you, view your scantily clad friends? In marketing, a confused mind never does what you want them to do!
Online, you have roughly 30 seconds to impress/excite someone or they are gone. They may be interrupted unexpectedly and may never return. How long does it take for your page to load with the 3 flash slide shows? What is your message once they are on your page? My marketing philosophy? "The Message is The Message! No message? No message!"
How often do you update your page/blog/schedule? Are you using all of the tools available on Myspace? Do you know how to target certain groups of people on Myspace? Did you know that Google is a great source to search Myspace information? Have you visited the Myspace forums? Did you know that leaving comments linking your website on your friends pages is a great way to achieve back links to your own website? Did you know back links help increase your organic search success? Did you know that you could integrate Myspace, Facebook and Youtube to your own website marketing building massive traffic?
Are you building your own brand while using Myspace or are you using your Myspace address as your website? You should be using your own domain name! Does your profile page have the look of buzz? Are your friend's comments relative to the rest of the information on your page? If you are an online marketer using social networks, is your sales message clear? Are you being creative with your messages and promotions? There are several web 2.0 widgets and tools that can help you gain Myspace marketing traction.
Consistency with your efforts is important too. You can't plant seeds this morning and expect a well kept garden overnight. Same with Myspace. i.e. People email you and you don't respond for months. Not good. Part of building a "SOCIAL Network" is to be social and timely. Work smarter not harder. Having a few standard reply emails saved can save you time.
Consistent friend building is important. It's not the size of your list but the relevancy of your targeted list that really counts in marketing. Give me 100 sure buyers over 10,000 tire kickers any day!
Videos. If you are not using video with your marketing, you are missing out on a huge branding opportunity. Fan base optimization, audience building etc. If you have the time to use Mypace and Youtube, you can really win! If you are marketing Videotones, Myspace is a great place to build an audience. Ask me how to monetize your videos with videotones.
SMS Text Messaging. There are several text message list building widgets that you should be using for any business or music page. Subscription or non subscription based text fan clubs are here. Myspace lends itself to help you build a great list too!
When people ask me for examples of good Mypace pages, I always use my friend Chris V of Soulful Playground's www.soulfulplayground.com Myspace page. Chris V has a music artist/music business Myspace page that works. (Chris recently changed his Myspace page and I am having to get used to this new one. His last one was my personal favorite.)
Notice that Chris V uses his own domain name and points it to his Myspace page. Smart branding! Once on the page, you will notice how clean and readable his page is. The page uses colors, clear images, well placed pictures, good music, solid backgrounds and snippets of information that draw you in. You read something new on this page on every visit. Makes you want to bookmark the page. Chris provides a number of music related services but he has separated them with graphics that command individual attention.
Notice how he uses "FREE" rewards as inducement for desired visitor action. He also gives the visitor several ways to reach him, this technique allows him to grow his list. Through this one Myspace page Chris has collaborated on hundreds of music/ merchandise related projects worldwide. Chris also communicates on message boards and forums promoting his site. By using various innovative promotions Chris is able to keep his audience interactive. Just look at his page stats.
For Earwax Records we targeted our Myspace friends within a 50 mile radius of the retail store. We also target local people new to Myspace. Why? Myspace bulletins automatically appear on Myspace profile back office pages on profiles with less than 1000 friends. This way we have the majority of our friends able to easily view our in store sales bulletins when we send them out. We also allow labels, artist and businesses to reach our local targeted audience with our timed bulletins. The Earwax Jazz Myspace page targets Myspace profiles that use jazz keywords on their pages. No sense in trying to target and convert a pop music fan into a jazz music fan. Our Gospel page targets gospel related keywords and provides over 1500 daily views to our Gospel Video Network etc etc.
Learn to use niche marketing strategies with your targeted Myspace Marketing!
One of my clients used targeted Myspace marketing to grow their business by $60,000 per month. How? They are a restaurant/lounge in a small South Carolina Community. We targeted their potential Myspace audience within a 50 mile radius of the restaurant. They started Myspace emailing and commenting about their upcoming list of music showcase events. They included select menu specials and grew their lunch, dinner, lounge, bar and weekend business revenue by 200%.
So the question still remains . . . Is Myspace Marketing Still Relevant? Yes and No! Not relevant, if you don't know what you are doing. Yes relevant if you do! One thing is for certain; If you keep doing what you are doing, you will continue to get the results that you are receiving! Listen to me now, believe me later on!

Get Paid on 100% of Your Website Traffic -
I know this is shocking to see two blog post from me in less than a week but between websites, clients and a growing online business, I am trying to do better!
The purpose of The Chuck Woo Marketing Blog is to share marketing information that will help my readers improve their online and offline marketing. I am always looking out for new ways for my readers to make more money online with less effort. I am always looking to provide you with the best marketing tools which will make your marketing efforts automated or as close to it as possible. Work Smart Not Hard is definitely my marching orders to my readers.
Recently I came across a new innovation that you need to hear about because it may affect the way you earn with your website in the very near future. It definitely will add another revenue stream to your website. When I read this following headline, I had to find out more . . . "Get paid on 100% of your website traffic, no clicks necessary!" My first question was . . . How is this possible?
Well, as you may know, major television and radio networks are in trouble and scrambling because their advertising revenue is dropping. They are losing market share and revenue at a dramatic pace.
For the first time in history, website owners are sharing in the ad revenue that was formerly spent with the giant TV and radio networks.
Advertisers like Harley Davidson, HBO & Taco Bell are willing to pay website owners like you on 100% of your website traffic to make up for the loss of viewers that the big TV networks are experiencing. Most of your websites are niche or target focused. Advertisers love this! You can choose whether you will allow political ads, but think of the revenue you could earn allowing the party of your choice to run ads on your website. This is the voting year!
