For those who are interested, I recently contributed an article to The Accomodation Managers Guide (AMG, on the power of on hold advertising to the accommodation industry.

In my new book there is a chapter on the power and profits to be made through bartering and trade exchanges. I am a big advocate of becoming a member of a trade exchange, in particular Bartercard, as it gives you exposure to a completely different economy and a powerful way to increase your bottom line.
In the latest edition of Bartercard’s monthly magazine ‘B Savvy’, there is a great article on the use of trade dollars towards phone bills, focusing on M2 Barter Telecoms.
M2 Barter Telecoms is one of Bartercards largest members, and is the work of Troy and Adam Bowen, my partners in On Hold Advertising.

Google has released a new service called Google Base:
Google Base is a place where you can easily submit all types of online and offline content, which we’ll make searchable on Google (if your content isn’t online yet, we’ll put it there). You can describe any item you post with attributes, which will help people find it when they do related searches. In fact, based on your items’ relevance, users may find them in their results for searches on Froogle, Google Maps and even our main Google web search.
It looks interesting (plus anything Google touches seems to turn to gold), so I have just uploaded my book onto Google Base - How To Turn Your Million Dollar Idea Into a Reality At Google Base
Here is a picture of the Fake McDonald’s - this is the McDonald’s restuarant that is used in every commercial and movie you see. As the story goes this lonely and empty McDonalds is just waiting in the back of an industrial park near La Puente, California to be filmed. I also hear they have every single McDonald’s uniform in every size from every country in the basement - and all the different furniture too. For those of you how want to visit Ronald next time you are in California, this site offers direction.
