No one size fits all approach
Set Goals, Aim moderately
Ensure there is value for the consumers which should in turn bring value to your business
Measure… Measure… Measure… and Measure More
Always match your analytics based decisions with your experience as a marketer
Be ready to change your approach midway if it isn’t working
If you do it well, the large spenders will copy you –With/Without similar success as can be seen with TheWriterCompetition
Most importantly, Creat your niche!
