Many top managers in the United States need a refresher course on accountability.

I am the Marketing Director of a radio station in Nigeria, and I have used the drive time hour in my city {4pm to 6pm} to boost the revenue of the station by simply exposing my client's ads to a large audience at cheaper rates. My blog deals with broadcast marketing issues. I will appreciate if you could visit and offer some professional advice. It quite new. Thanks Dear John,

It has a snappy ring to it only merely means adaptive copying--i.e., copy a little here, a little there and putting the borrowed parts together. They say synthesis is he mother of invention ... or at least borrowed inventions. Instead of calling it copying, how about “synthesis”.

It seems like it's usually dismissed as a "get rich quick" type of scheme but there are many mainstream companies using affiliates (i.e on Commission Junction www.cj.com ). Once I launch my business in about a month, after 6 months I want to explore using affiliate marketers to help my business reach more people and leverage relationships or websites that they may have. Have you explored this avenue as a viable option for small businesses? Any ideas/conclusions? Regards, Matt P.S. Duct Tape Marketing was the very first marketing book I bought when I started planning my new business. It's been tremendously helpful! Thanks for all the knowledge and insight you've shared in the book and on this blog! John,

To me, a great innovation is a completely new idea which is a result of necessity.
