Creating Chaos
(—and benefitting from confusing
competitors/enemies.)
This is a Controversial theory
but then when it comes to internet/e-commerce/m-commerce/Convergence etc., no
one knows what will work & what will not.
Somewhere (Creating a Tornado), I
said, “we Simply cannot depend upon MSPF to promote WWJ/JAM. We will
have to do our own marketing — our own publicizing — our own promotion. Fight
our own battle”.
And we need to do all of these — without
spending any money!”
This is not going to be easy! It
will require a lot of imagination & hard work too.
Only thing which we have — and
which we can leverage to get publicity is our
Job Advt. Database
[ Our only “asset” — as of now ]
We must learn to “use”
this database in “umpteen” different ways, to unlock its “true” value.
Again & again, we must dress
it up differently, for different “Target-Groups”.
Target-groups which can start an
Idea Virus.
It is in this context, I propose
3 new “services” as per web-pages
enclosed.
These are slight variations of
JAS — which should not require much coding effort.
On the other hand, it is entirely
possible that, with these, we may succeed in starting a TORNADO.
Let us discuss soon
