Get Up, Get Out, And Get Something

You need to get up, get out and get something like a job or money. Sitting around the house wont obtain anything for you. You can come into possession of anything in your grasp if your out and about.

Getting up helps us grow our family to get people to get out and do something new. Be dedicated to motivating yourself to be active.

Climb Out The Gutter

Only you know where you are headed in life. No-one can do you but you. You must know what ladder you are on and where it is leading. My entire life changed as a result of becoming familiar with the precepts of The Law.

Everybody wants to climb up, nobody wanted to be left on the ground. To think about climbing the ladder of life is sometimes amusing.

Libretto - Headhunters Ft Theory Hazit

Watts transplant and Portland resident, Libretto has been making his mark on the Hip-Hop landscape since the early 2000's with his appearance on Lifesavas' classic "Spirit In Stone" LP (Quannum).

As a result of his standout verses on the Lifesavas' record and work on Onry Ozzborn's Alone LP, Libretto landed a deal with One Drop/BSI Records to release his debut single "Dirty Thangs" b/w "Alma Matter." The record was a testament to his vision of merging "pure soul, hip-hop, and urban resonance (Amazon)" and the buzz around the promising emcee continued to build to the point that LA's Dim Mak Records became interested, and released Libretto's next single entitled "Volume" ft. Lifesavas.

The song has gone on to be licensed numerous times, including being featured on Tony Hawk's Underground 2 video game. "Volume" was also one of the 14 songs that comprised Libretto's 2004 full length debut LP/CD, "Ill-Oet: The Last Element", also on Dim Mak Records. Upon release, the record was heralded as "some of the most original hip-hop to come out of the West Coast (Modern Fix)" by publications like XLR8R and URB. Libretto kept busy performing, dropping guest verses, and by putting out conceptual, album worthy mixtapes under the name Kokanut Brown, all the while prepping for his anticipated sophomore release, "The Captain".

The Power Of Word-Of-Mouth

The Power Of Word-Of-Mouth is strength. To achieve the potential of social media, marketers will have to better understand how it works. Building a buzz is an effective—and free—way to create public awareness and support.

One of the top takeaways I learned was about ‘Word of Mouth Marketing’ and how to apply it in my own email marketing campaigns to drive more attention. Do you want to tap into a powerful form of marketing that doesn’t require you to create content on your own? If so, word of mouth marketing is the strategy for you.

I have always appreciated the power of word of mouth and i personally make many of my purchase decisions based on reviews by friends and online. Word-of-mouth marketing is hands-down the easiest way to promote and market a business.

1. Set goals for word-of-mouth. Just as with any other type of marketing tactic, vague goals like “getting everyone to talk about us” are too nebulous to be useful. Create measurable goals, such as getting X number of new customers through referrals per month, obtaining press coverage in three places per month or generating X number of leads per month via word-of-mouth marketing.

 2. Create a system for generating referrals. Offering bonuses, freebies or discounts to customers who give you referrals to other customers is a good way to encourage the practice.

 3. Offer customers who are referred special deals. Give new customers discounts or special offers in return for being willing to try your business.

 4. Promote your business with PR. Public relations should be ongoing to keep your business in the public eye. Develop relationships with local journalists, members of the media and bloggers, and keep them informed about your company’s latest news, accomplishments and future plans.

 5. Get active in the local community. Participating in or sponsoring community events such as fairs, 5K races or sports teams will get your business name out there. If your carpet company’s name is all over the local Little League team’s jerseys, who are the parents going to think of the next time they need carpet?
