Easy $25 Contest. Need quotes or video snippets about...

Jason Moffatt · 13th Jan 2011, 06:06 PM

Hey Warriors,

I'm trying to find a few quotes from famous marketers about the importance of building lists, leads, or prospects.

They can be in a video, or simply on a page, or in a Twitter post, or anything. I just need a link to verify that they really said the particular quote.

The best quote will win $25 cash via Paypal if I decide to use the quote on the project I'm working on.

Thanks so much.

Sweet Tuldok!

I'll totally use that. You are in the lead.

It's a pretty hard thing to find, I've been looking all around for the last hour, breezing through videos and just can't seem to find what I need.

However, that Yahoo quote is stellar.

Much appreciated.

A few good ones from:
gorichonline dot com/internet-marketing-tips/10-internet-marketing-quotes-to-read-and-relish/)

1. “Creating stellar content for your marketing is great. But great content doesn’t (quite) distribute itself. It needs vehicles for people to pass it along, discuss its merits, argue over its controversies, blog it, mash it, tweet it and even scrape it. Which is, of course, where social media comes in…” — Sonia Simone, “Why Content and Social Media Are a Powerful Match”

2. “A strong foundation increases the value of everything you do.” Aaron Wall, discussing SEO strategies.

3. “It’s much easier to double your business by doubling your conversion rate
than by doubling your traffic.” Jeff Eisenberg

4. “SEO is knowing what the search engines want and giving it to them… so hard they f***ing bleed” Dave Naylor

5. “It’s better to think of social media tools as amplifying customer opinion rather than improving it.” Joshua Porter

6. “SEO is a marketing function for sure, but it needs to be baked into a product, not slapped on like icing after the cake is baked.” Duane Forrester

7. “Trying to increase sales simply by driving more traffic to a website with a poor customer conversion rate is like trying to keep a leaky bucket full by adding more water instead of plugging the holes.” Bryan Eisenberg

8. Twitter is like hugging. Just becuase it’s hard to measure the return on investment doesn’t mean there isn’t value there. Tony Hsiesh

9. “We now have indisputable proof that online marketing, YouTube and Twitter and all that it encompasses is meaningful and has arrived,” Gene Grabowski

10. “Think big and don’t listen to people who tell you it can’t be done. Life’s too short to think small.” Tim Ferriss

I'll leave it up a couple more days. But so far, yes Tuldok is winning.

Most of the other quotes posted were marketing related but had little to do with leads, mailing lists or prospects.

It's really hard to come up with some quotes or video snippets for this. Been looking all over, so I appreciate any help at all.

Thanks.

Here are some quotes from Patrick Dixon:

* The future of marketing belongs to honest information, accurate data and clear claims based on truth.

* Business strategy is the battleplan for a better future.

* Connect with all the passions people have -for themselves, their families, their communities and wider world - and they will follow you to the ends of the earth, buy your products and services with pride, and may even be willing to work for you for next to nothing.

* Never has the future become so rapidly the past.

“Affiliate marketing has made businesses millions and ordinary people millionaires.” Bo Bennett

“Communication is about being effective, not always about being proper.” Bo Bennett

“Prospective customers' wish list is dominated by lower service fees and cheaper devices.” Ted Schadler

Cool quote. However, I really need quotes that I can attribute to people known in the internet marketing space.

Thanks for everything so far from everyone. Not quite what I've been looking for, but I still do appreciate the efforts.

I'll end this at midnight on Monday.

Easy $25 still up for grabs.
