Do you Throw Boomerangs or Hand Grenades?

by Sean A McAlister

Throwing a hand grenade is easy. Take aim, pull the pin and hope like hell it works.! Sometimes you hit on target and sometimes you don't. There is not a lot of learning, techniques or skill required.....and sometimes it can backfire on you....better yet someone can throw it back and blow you up:confused:

Have you ever tried to throw a boomerang? If you have you know that it is not easy. It takes practice, skill and finesse. It is almost an art.
You need to have the right wrist action, grip and release.

When you throw a boomerang it covers a large area in a sweeping motion making a 180 turn and coming back to you.,,,EVERY TIME

This is the way you need to look at your business. Like it is a boomerang. You need to work at it, practice different techniques and learn. Your Internet Business needs to cover a large sweeping area that points from all directions back to your site....its not easy but once you master the techniques it is a walk in the park.

-OR If you like taking pot shots at it and hoping like hell it will all work out then dont be surprised when it back fires on you and you lose your online vitals.

thoughts?

    Spears my friend.

    Think of the business as a spear, throw it at the target, and if it misses, pick it up and try again and again until you hit the bullseye.

    Once you've hit that bullseye, go onto another, and another, and another.

    Repeat.

    Hand grenades are far more effective than boomerangs.

    More damage done with greater coverage area.

    Boomerangs do not come back when it hits its intended target whereas, neither do hand grenades but they don't need to be thrown for accuracy and sure do hit multiple targets with just one throw.

    Boomerangs are useless in high winds or heavy rain... hand grenades don't care either way.

    To me, boomeranging(sic) is akin to article marketing... slow and steady building up an article directory's VRE.

    Well, this is a numbers game so the one with the best weapons will win the war (JV, Adwords, low cost targeted traffic systems which bring eyeballs to converting copy).

    The point is to always keep stock of your hand grenades so you can stay in the game.

    A hand grenade is also a product that can be a series of products "pitched" to increase the customer lifetime value.

    Hand greandes are still used today for their intended purpose whereas, boomerangs are used primarily as a souvenir of days gone by.

    Besides, it's cooler to throw a hand grenade than a boomerang any day.

    TAKE COVER!
