    Ideas for getting local businesses to advertise through me?

    I used high-range Bluetooth beacons modified to use Google's Eddystone protocol that transmitted a notification to anyone within ~ 1 km. If a person's Bluetooth was on, a notification would pop up on their lock screen or if they pulled down their notifications. It would show the title of my...

    I've got two months...

    Hey there. I WILL be taking the advice given here and applying it. My future's in your hands, lol. I used to be in the ORM game (and I used to do SEO a long time ago), but I've decided to create a new business. I've got two months until my birthday to get this going before my wife makes me...

    Question: Best way to kill boredom (offline)?

    Hey there, I have a way to target people's mobile phones while they're at waiting rooms, laundromats, etc... basically places where people have to wait and are bored. A lot of waiting rooms have magazines, so I was originally thinking of offering quick short stories they could read instead...

    Ideas for getting local businesses to advertise through me?

    Hey there, Lately I've been delving into new ideas and attempting to make something substantial and worthwhile start working. I have a way to automatically have immersive web pages come up on travelers' phones when they stop at nearby local tourist attractions without an app or anything. I'm...

    Decision Maker for Local Tourism/Attractions?

    Stavro, Thank you very much for the reply. It looks like an interesting road might be ahead of me. I appreciate the links, I'll be looking at them now. I just hope it's not too difficult to get paid by whatever entity owns and operates these attractions (if at all). Let's say I was offering...

    Decision Maker for Local Tourism/Attractions?

    I was wanting to focus on some local tourism hotspots nearby. Most of them don't have a website, but do have a presence online since they're situated along Route 66 in the US. I don't necessarily want to make them websites, but I do have a service I want to offer them. I know not all of these...

    Calling Car Wrap Customers: Is This Legal?

    Definitely right on, BlogPro. The script I ended up using was basically a mix of your outline and some edits I had made to mine. When I make more calls on Monday, I will definitely be making sure I pretty much try out your outline exactly to see how that goes. I thought I had heeded the...

    Calling Car Wrap Customers: Is This Legal?

    UPDATE! I used an altered script that I thought was altered enough to keep me out of trouble... This is how it went today: I called the first number and I was able to get through the gatekeeper, who connected me to the purchasing guy of an insurance company. He was a little confused at first...

    Calling Car Wrap Customers: Is This Legal?

    KraftyKyle, Before asking the forum, I was definitely thinking of ways to presenting myself as someone outside the company, but to someone just picking up the phone they'd think I might be associated and listen a bit more than they would normally. I think the main problem is the intro like...

    Calling Car Wrap Customers: Is This Legal?

    LukaB & BlogPro, I will heed your advice and NOT do what I was thinking of doing. I see the potential issues. I think I'll do what you guys are suggesting and just rewrite the script similar to the points you have and just see if it works!

    Calling Car Wrap Customers: Is This Legal?

    Hey guys, I am working on a business that will be targeting businesses with branded vehicle wraps. I found these businesses by going to car wrap companies who post their clients' information in picture galleries. I was trying to figure out the most effective way to get an appointment with...

    Need advice for monetizing proximity-based idea

    That is a pretty clever idea. I didn't even think to create urgency and lots of people are interested in sweepstakes. I'll be doing some tests to see how many people are actually clicking the notifications in a given time period soon. I'm anticipating people might ignore 'ad-looking'...

    Need advice for monetizing proximity-based idea

    No, it is not. It will work even if they are not connected to any public wifi.

    Need advice for monetizing proximity-based idea

    Thanks for the quick reply! Yes, the method is completely legal, solely because it is a silent notification and users can clean their tray and the notification won't come back. I will divulge more information on what exactly I'm doing once I know it works. :)
