They skimmed the rest of the info. It was a big shock to me, as I had labored so much over the copy on that site, only to find they're just skimming it! At least I know where to focus on, when I'm optimizing the website. I will also add a link to the "conversion" part of the page, to see if this boosts response. Thanks for the advice. You're absolutely right. We don't need new marketing products, we need to understand our customers better and work out what they want to buy from us. Keep up this excellent blog - I really appreciate it!

Quadrant 1 is the "OMG" quadrant. Quadrant 3 is the "OMG it's not your problem so don't make it mine" quadrant. Quadrant 4 is the "pass the weed n' beer" quadrant. Quadrant 3 used to be the productive quadrant. We shall now name it the "Ricky Breslin" quadrant. Good stuff, man! See, there are these 4 quadrants. Quadrant 1 is the “OMG” quadrant.

I'm so glad that people like you are promoting the idea of taking control of your life rather than be controlled by their daily circumstances. The sad thing is that so many people who work for work's sake actually think their being productive. So important. Great advice.

I've made mistakes from in the past with potential clients who always want to negotiate my web design prices and I end up charging way cheaper than usual and I'm the one with no profit in the end. I think I need to let clients know straightforward, this is my price, no negotiation. Thank you!
