CREATING CHAOS

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
