Dot Commer To Car Salesman...
from the how-far-a-jump-is-that? dept
Here's a former dot com marketing guy who can't find a job, so instead he's now selling cars at a Saturn dealership, but still considers himself an "online marketer". So, he's trying to use this experience to come up with lessons that can be brought back into the online world. I'm glad he's trying to gain something useful out of the experience, but his conclusions all seem pretty obvious - and things he probably should have known before. Anyway, I'm sure many people don't think it's a big leap from selling worthless shares in a dot com starup or shilling for some vaporware dot com service to selling cars...
Thank you for reading this Techdirt post. With so many things competing for everyone’s attention these days, we really appreciate you giving us your time. We work hard every day to put quality content out there for our community.
Techdirt is one of the few remaining truly independent media outlets. We do not have a giant corporation behind us, and we rely heavily on our community to support us, in an age when advertisers are increasingly uninterested in sponsoring small, independent sites — especially a site like ours that is unwilling to pull punches in its reporting and analysis.
While other websites have resorted to paywalls, registration requirements, and increasingly annoying/intrusive advertising, we have always kept Techdirt open and available to anyone. But in order to continue doing so, we need your support. We offer a variety of ways for our readers to support us, from direct donations to special subscriptions and cool merchandise — and every little bit helps. Thank you.
–The Techdirt Team
