		<description>Jason,

Do you know how much good worm poop is worth these days?  You can&#039;t give that sh*t away!  :)

Just kidding - I got the point.</description>

		<description>Jack,

Simplicity is complication in disguise.  At least when introducing a &quot;concept&quot; to the masses.

Maybe &quot;free&quot; is the way to start.  Test with free...if you can&#039;t give it away, maybe it&#039;s a good indication that it won&#039;t be a top seller.  

However, when you have a super niche product...a good idea may spread slower than anticipated but that doesn&#039;t mean it&#039;s a bad idea. It boils down to how much tenacity and income do you have to weather the storm before the flowers bloom?

		<description>Hi Jack

I bet that was one heck of a sales letter, that gets you to buy a fake rock.
With a little pulling on the emotions us humans can be led very easily.
Speaking of being led, Utility Poster is a great tool, I believe I&#039;ll get a lot of
great use of it.

It&#039;s starting to rain out, I have to go bring my rock in.

OMG, I am laughing so hard after visiting that site! :)

All the elements of simple, effective marketing...

- entertainment value (such a simple subject matter too)
- simplicity (anyone can use it easily)
- and...who wouldn&#039;t want to send a &quot;poo&quot; to someone that deserves it right? (so they identified a simple target market)

I love it.

		<description>Hi Jack,

I agree with you we all get to a point in our life when we want simplicity. It just makes it so much easier. We want things to happen yesterday and we don&#039;t realize that it takes baby steps to get where we really want to be. I personally think you bring a lot of value to the industry and will continue to promote and buy your products. Hope you have a great weekend.

Thanks,

Charlotte</description>

		<description>Jack is Right - but that&#039;s not news... Worm poop is!

I am the King of the overcomplicated complexity chaos theory in real life, posing as a business plan. LOL

Today though, I deleted 1000 unread emails in my Inbox - and unsubscribed from nearly every email list (except for ASC, SPL, FTR) - and am on a laser focused quest for simplicity.

But with my last name, poop is not an option,

		<description>How true, Jack. 

I&#039;ve tried to adhere to the K.I.S.S. approach in almost everything I do ( in life &amp; internet). I agree that there are probably many great ideas that get shelved due to &quot;over-thinking&quot;.

		<description>Hi Jack,

Couldn&#039;t agree with you more. The problem is we forget. We are impatient. We want instant result. That&#039;s why we get frustrated. Lost and confused...sometimes..

We forget that the oak tree started from a tiny weeny seed. Yes, everything I believe started with an idea, no matter it may seem absurd in the beginning.

Great post and look forward to read more of them.
