Does it matter where something resides? By that argument anything invented in Queens should change the world. The Xerox process, micro metalic filtration [Pall Corp], Scrabble and to some degree US punk and Rap all started in Queens NY.
In fcat I have had offices in Forest Hills, Glen Cove and Port Washington just liek Pall, yet I am not a multi-billion dollar internation corp. At least not yet.
Wonder Bread got started in 1921, but did not add the nutrients until the 1940's. You are also confused about the sliced part. Wonder did not do this until the 1930's. A decaded after both had been on the market.
Please at least try and check facts before you think something is true.
The Ipod was a quick sell because of the Walkman.
In business one has to look at the ROI. How may peopel worldwide use Poken on a at least weekly basis? From taht number you get an idea of the market size. Then you may be able to estimate the sales. That number should tell you if you will make money.
Let's look at Lamar's ROI.
Ypu spend countless hours pushing free stuff for other companies. Total return, according to you, is zero. BTW many people think you are paid to hype the products.
Perhaps you are building a name for yourself as an expert. How much is the paper paying you for articles?
Take that amoount for a years worth of articles and that would be your ROI. Now take the total hours needed to get there [plus teeh hours needed for writing the article] and divide the dollar amount by that. Now you know what you are worth per hour.
If it is under $25 then you are not an expert yet, not in the eyes of the commecial world.
For the past year I have written a monthly article for the Chamber of Commerce and for a few trade publications. I also have reviewed tech books. Now I am going to be an official reviewer for a major publisher. This will get me copies of new books, books to give away at events and most importantly conacts at publishing houses. I may be writing a book on one particular flavor of Linux or a few other topics. Income from book writing is next to nothing, but you are then an offical expert. That leads to much higher paying gigs. So far the ROI has been four books, and two decent projects.
