The Best Marketer of the World (Little Story)

2 replies
There Once...

...was a king, and his name was Nella Syas.

So one day, the king invited the brightest persons of the time for a contest. The kingdom was looking for the "Best Marketer of the World", so the King could give his daughter Veb to whoever won this contest.

The wisest and smartest people came to from all corners of the country, with exotic names like Nevets Miehnegaw, with all their wisdom and knowledge.

So the king said: "I give you 7 days to prove to me that you are the BEST marketer in the World, and then i will decide whom i will give my daughter to"

So the wise men started to work on their ideas, eager to get this title and the king's daughter.

7 days passed, and after many were eleminated because their marketing ideas, well, just sucked...TWO were left, and it came down to decide who of those two would be the winner.

The first one, his name was Emaislif, said:

"I am the best marketer, and i can prove it!"

He showed the king his gigantic empire of sites and blogs (which he made in 7 days), and how he makes 10.000 gold each month. He had people working for him bookmarking and promoting, and he was certainly proud of this and it was impressive, no question.

The king nodded, very impressed.

However, Nevets Miehnegaw was just smiling quietly.

The king looked at him and asked.

"And you Nevets, what have you done?"

Nevets told him that he is certainly impressed with what Emaislif put up in 7 days...but he could just laugh and said:

"King, i am the best marketer and i surely deserve your daughter!
Look, i am making money from Dirt!" I dont have thousands of slaves working for me, all i needed was this old rusty shovel!

So he told the king that he dug a big hole with this shovel, when he was back in his home-land "Irelandia".

He made a website for all exiles and emigrants from Irelandia who lived in the New Kingdom now, because of poverty in their own country. Most of the emigrants were homesick and were missing their lands where they were born.

So he sold the dirt in little labeled jars to those people as "Soil of my Home Land Irelandia"....and he almost couldnt manage the volume of orders coming in sicne everyone wanted a share of this, for emotional reasons or just for putting the jars in their living rooms as a reminder of their origins.

The king, certainly impressed, immediately gave his daughter to Nevets, because he thought: "Well, this man is genius. He truly can make money from dirt"

    why "buy"?

    I would go out in the backyard....there's enough, there's construction going on. Maybe i can sell them as asteroids from another planet or somethin?
    Oh..wait..that would be scam .)
    The beauty of the story is actually that the one selling the soil did NOT scam, and everyone was happy, that's the nice thing about it
