Jim has collected an amazing collection of concise marketing tips here worth looking at. Plus, he did it all through Twitter. 

Here are a few of my favorites:

Marketing is like a snowball. You have to keep rolling to see results. You can’t start and stop and start and stop.
     – Cynthia Powell www.ChicksAndCubs.com

Think, do you need your product to succeed or do your customers need your product to succeed?
     – Aronado www.LuckyStartups.com

Don’t try do everything yourself, outsource tasks that don’t directly make you money. Ex: accounting, website design.
     – Kim Cornwall Malseed www.marcomink.com

Do not compromise your fees. Charge by project, not hourly. Don’t waste money on brochures. Have a clear vision of your business/market.
     – Joanne Victoria www.JoanneVictoria.com

Have money and plan set aside for 2 yrs of no-to-next-to-no profit; of course aim for better and sooner
     – Christian Markley; www.blu3digital.com

All action is a response to a felt need: find the need, appeal to the need at least 7 times, and offer a solution!
     – Bill Collier http://blog.freedomist.info

Just get it out there. It doesn’t have to be perfect yet. Don’t let analysis paralysis set in. You can always fine tune later.
    - Christopher Thiede www.buildcommunications.com

A great list, indeed.  I’d love to hear from you on this one, too. Here’s what I replied with on Jim’s blog:

Truly serve your customer. They aren’t a means to your end; you’re a means to theirs. 
     – Brett Duncan

Looking for some great blogs on marketing and all that entails? Look no further than this post on The Marketing Minute. At the bottom, Drew thanks many of his commenters (not to mention yours truly), and just linking to a few of them shows that Drew’s blog has become quite the epicenter for the rest of us.

Thanks, Drew – your site is definitely one of the best.

Here are a few links worth a read:

• Newspaper circulation: List of the top papers in the country. The Dallas Morning News had the biggest dip. I ended my subscription about 2 weeks ago, but I had no idea it would have this kind of effect.
• Amazing Advertisements: Great samples of creative ads, especially of the grassroots style. My favorite is the dropped calls billboard.
• Name a New Product from 2006: 81% of consumers could not mention one top 50 product released in 2006. I’ll probably have more on this alarming stat later this week.
• Great quote on keeping humble
• Look! Here’s a pretty good daily dose of Seth. What makes people point at you in a way that makes everyone else look?
• Counting Clicks: Pretty good summary of web traffic stat programs. Thanks to Steve Rubel for pointing the way.
