Follow your mind.

Everybody is just gushing out their opinion,only few are factual.

Unknown to Most People



Money, the bone of contention. The reason behind everyday struggle.

Acquisition and accumulation of wealth make people sacrifice years of their life to go to school or learn a trade.

Money, the root of all evil - as some people choose to call it. Money - a resource used as a means of exchange for value received.

For reason not far fetched, a lot of people find it difficult to make, keep and multiply money. Lack of financial knowledge has hindered many people doom, keeping them in the vicious cycle of poverty (The Rat Race).

Like being a silent teacher has made it difficult for a lot of people to learn valuable lessons it pass across.

Most people want to be told what to do, even when things are being shown to them.

In this article, together we'll be unraveling 6 places money hide.

By knowing where money hides, you'll be able to locate, attract, keep and multiply it.

#1. Money Hides In People

Money is created and used my man. Every wealthy people in our world today, leverage on people.



Mark Zuckerberg has over 1.5 billion making use of his invention. He is getting rewarded handsomely because he is able to see his money hiding in people and devise a way of getting it.

For anyone to be wealthy, he has to create something valuable that people will be willing to have in exchange for their money. The bigger the audience you're able to offer value to, the larger the amount you will get from them.

2. Money Hides In Problem

For every problem you see, the lies a potential for someone to get rich, if only they can provide solution to them.

Human is faced with many problems, identify and solve one. The magnitude of the problem you're able to solve will determine how magnificent your reward will be. Imagine solving the global problem we all are currently facing?



You won't only be celebrated as an international hero, you'll make it to Forbes List.

But Ridwan, I'm not a Researcher, I'm not even in the medical line - I hear you say.

Well...no problem, but if you can't stop that particular problem, have you think of solving other problems?

There are many problems awaiting solution. If you can solve a national problems, try solving regional, state, or even local problem. You will surely be rewarded...it's all about mindset.

3. Money Hides In Talent



Show me someone with no talents, and I'll crown you The Greatest Liar of All Time.

Every man, irrespective of his challenge or adversary has talents to make use of and get rich.

We've heard stories of different physically-challenged people who went against all odds to succeed and make good name for themselves.

A lot of physically-challenged have made decision to use their talents, to turn their disadvantage into advantage, rather than wallowing in self-pity.

4. Money Hides In Vision

Do you have an idea capable of liberating a lot of people? Have you figure out a viable solution to problem affecting a lot of people? Bring it on.

People will willingly support you when they see that you have a vision. If you're able to birth that vision, and make it be of something useful to people, they'll gladly give you their money.



A good thing about vision is that it has nothing to do with your net worth. Unlocking new thinking pattern have you visualize better.

5. Money Hides In Hardwork

There is a popular saying, "There is nothing you can't achieve, once you set your mind to it." Life is ready to give you anything you want. The question is, what do you want? Don't bother answering that, your attitude will do the answering.

If you're lazy, you'll see the end result of laziness. If you're hardworking, a day will come, your hardwork will meet opportunity and life will smile on you.

Have you heard of the saying, "Hardwork best talent". That goes on to tell you how important hardwork is, and how powerful hardworking individuals can be.

Keep up the hardwork, you'll dig gold


someday.

6. Money Hides In Creator

It will be foolish of anyone to write off the fact that prayers answers.

As long as you have a belief system and believe in the existence of the Supreme.

Keep believing and work on improvement.

Thanks for reading

Almost everyone is in one business or the other. It is either you are running your own business or you are paid to help someone run theirs.

While the former is called an entrepreneur, the latter is called an employee.

Many people aspire to have their own business, even if they are employers somewhere.



Entrepreneurship is key to building a formidable global economy. In entrepreneurship, their is no limit to your impact and income.

You can actually decide how far you want your business to go, and how much you intend to earn. That is the beauty of entrepreneurship!



However, it is not that some people want to remain employers for life, but there seems to be a general phenomenon affecting many people.

The fact is that you need funding to start-up, establish and expand your business.

You would have observed that the major challenge facing many people is how to raise the start-up fund.



The worst thing you can do to yourself is to give up on your dreams because of lack of start-up fund!

Some people complain that they are not even eligible to obtain loans, seeing that they have no collateral.

Waiting for loan has destroyed many dream businesses that would have become Conglomerates today!

Before you give up on your business dream, there are many simple and cool ways you can raise start-up funds to pilot your dreams, even without collecting loans.

In this article, we shall be looking at 10 Cool Ideas On How To Raise Funds For Your Business.



1. Personal Savings
It is very unfortunate how people trivialize the power of personal savings. Many great businesses started with an individual's personal savings.

No matter how little, you should cultivate the habit of personal savings. Be disciplined and learn to delay gratification of certain things.

You can raise start-up fund for your business from your personal savings, without collecting loans.



2. Sell Your Assets and Liabilities
You can sell your Land, Houses, Shares (Stocks), Cars, Electronics, Gadgets, Furniture, Jewellery, Clothes, Shoes, etc.

If you are really desperate for a change, I mean if you are determined enough to start that business, you must be ready to sacrifice something that belongs to you.

As it is not always advisable to start a brand new business with loan, this is one method you can engage to raise the start-up fund you need.



3. Contributions
Whether daily, weekly, monthly or yearly contribution, note that this is also one sure way many business people adopted to raise start-up funds, without collecting loans.

Contribution method of raising fund is a system where a group of 2 or more people decide on a certain amount of money to contribute within a certain period.



4. Grant
Grant is free money given to individuals or groups by government, institutions, organizations, individuals, etc to help them accomplish a purpose. Grant is not loan.

Grants can be given as a reward for a competition, task, etc. It can also be a philanthropic act without any special requirement for its qualification.



5. Family and Relatives
Some people have family and Relatives who can help them, but they would prefer to keep struggling on their own.

I understand that sometimes it is even a risk to reach out to family and Relatives, especially for the fear of being envied or having them work against your progress, etc.

Nevertheless, the fact remains that this is one avenue through which some people have been able to raise start-up fund for their business, without collecting loans.



6. Friends and Colleagues
In most cases, the same thing that applies to family and relatives also applies to friends and colleagues.

It is up to your discretion to know who you are dealing with.



7. Partnership
When it comes to partnership in business, you can partner with individuals or organizations - depending on the business involved.

Partnership should be formalized, with all necessary terms and conditions specified.

Through partnership, you can raise start-up funds for your business, without collecting loans.



8. Launching
Depending on the kind of business you are going into, you can organize a product launch, where you invite people to support your business or product.

Through this avenue, you can raise enough funds to push your business to the next level, without collecting loans.



9. Exhibition
Product exhibition is an organized and formal way of showcasing your work or products to attract more patronage.

This can also help you to raise funds for your business, without collecting loans.



10. Crowd funding
Crowd funding is an arrangement where you let people know your intention and they in turn support your ideas.

We have some online platforms that are dedicated to this. Some people have equally used this means to raise start-up funds for their business without collecting loans.



Above all, pray to God for wisdom and guidance to take the right decision.

Finally, I hope you learnt something worthwhile from these 10 cool ideas to raise funds for your business without collecting loans.

The rich also have fear, the only thing is they do not allow it to stop them.


Believe me "Rich and successful people are not born, they are made", either you're rich or poor, both are the result of your actions.

According to research 80% of the richest and most successful people in the world today are born poor, and they built their wealth from scratch.

Consigning that, there are common traits among the rich and successful, which includes the act of taking risks.

I'll be sharing with you some of the risks rich people do take which year can also emulate to be successful.

DEARING THE UNFAMILIAR


For you to be successful in life you need to come out of your comfort zone, coming out of your comfort zone, is not as easy as you just read it, because you need a lot of courage to dear it.

Leaving your comfort zone is like an adventure into the forest, you'll get across so many challenges but the more you face it, the more you grow.

I dear you get out of your comfort zone today and start that business.

ENDURING FAILURE


The only thing we see in rich and successful entrepreneurs are the freedom and wealth, but we never considered the amount of failure and rejection that they have to endure before they got there. In the book "failing forward" it was explained that the more you fail the more you get closer to your goals, because failure shows you the way not to do something, and the more you know the way things should not be done the more you have insight on how it should be done. Thomas Edison failed 10,000 time before he invented the light bulb, Steve courage failed in the business world for over 8 years and so is other successful entrepreneurs, but the general trait among them is, they never give up.

LONELINESS


You see for you to achieve significant success, you have go against the crowd, this means doing what everyone you know are not doing, and this always makes the journey to success a lonely one.

It's is said that entrepreneurs are lone rangers because they always find themselves alone in their battles, it's not easy to find someone to believe in you when you think big.

Remember "If you're not losing friends, you are not progressing"

ADAPT TO DISCOMFORT


Before a Gold shine it has to pass through fire, before you can achieve any significant success, you have to go through hard times and you must learn to adapt to the hard times, this will make you to endure easily and never give up.



BEING SINGLE


This doesn't mean that you can't achieve success with a partner in your life, what I'm saying is that you must avoid toxic relationships, you must never date someone with a poor mindset or less serious person.

It's better to stay single than to date someone who's is not serious about life.

STARTING AGAIN


This is like saying you're climbing a mountain and you later discovered that you're climbing the wrong mountain, you'll need to climb down and restart again.

Same thing in the journey of success, you'll are prone to make a mistake which will you requires you start your journey all over again, example you've been selling a product for years and later discovered it's not what the people want, you'll have to start again and start selling what they want.

This has been a big issue for so many people in life, because they are afraid of starting again or afraid of even taking the first step to try, because they're thinking what if it's the wrong mountain to climb.

If you really desire success, you must learn how to always look deep into your journey and restart if necessary.

BEING REJECTED


There may be a time in your journey which you'll need to approach people for financial assistance, and majority of them might reject you and you'll be hurt and disappointed, but you never let that feeling discourage you from trying again and again.

This is also an obstacle to some people success in life, they often feel to ashamed to approach people for help or raise.

It's advisable you read books about negotiation and networking, so you can build yourself on how to approach people.

BURNING YOUR BRIDGES


This is most powerful trait in all successful people, this means you focus on one activity till you succeed.

A dullard who is persistent is more guaranteed to succeed than a brilliant person who give up easily.

For to be successful in life, you must be ready to focus on one activity without looking left or right till you succeed.

Many people are poor today because they jump from pillar to polls, they start blogging this year and jump to forex next year and jump to vlog the following year, all because they fail to understand that they have to stick on a particular activity for long time till they succeed.

Always remember this eight points every day of your life.

Success and financial stability does not depend on how much a person earns but on how much he can keep.

Successful people are those who have the ability to save money. In this article we want to highlight some of the rules of Spending which will enable readers to attain financial stability.

Rule 1. Do not spend more than your income: Spending more than ones income leads to bankruptcy. Bankruptcy is a situation whereby one indebtedness is more than his assets. The major cause of this situation is spending more than your income. Perhaps you do not know what bankruptcy law says in this country. It is very bad to be bankrupt. Remember investments are made from saved income, so no savings no income.

Rule 2. Never spend in anticipation of income: It is not proper to spend money in anticipation of income. Many civil servants spend money on food, clothing and other wares with the expectation of making payment when salaries come. This situation is very dicey, especially these days that salaries do not come as expected. Always follow the rules of spending with what you have at hand unless when life is threatened. Remember the adage "cut your coat according to your size"

Rule 3. Always make a budget: A budget is a written plan showing expected income and expenditure. Wise people prepare budgets as a guide to expenditure. If you follow your budget, you may not spend what you have not earned and you will always be at peace.

Rule 4. Do spend money to impress others: A lot of people spend money to impress others. They splash money in ceremonies just to impress their viewers. This is a dangerous habit, we must always consider our income first before we engage in spending spree. Because if you don't have money, you will realize that the poor man does not really have a friend.

Rule 5. Don't be afraid to spend: What we have said so far may be misunderstood by some people as becoming stingy, stingy people hardly get rich. Modest people at least remain financially stable. If you are afraid to spend, you make money your master but if you spend carefully, your money remains your servant.

If you want to thrive, don't neglect these 5 rules of spending.

Wow!!,I never believe it will make FP.

Most goals for a single club in Premier League history:

Aguero: 184 ⚽
Rooney: 183 ⚽

This is some achievement by Aguero, who came off the bench to score twice against Everton this afternoon.

Man Utd fans won’t be too pleased to see Rooney lose his record, with the former Red Devils captain another modern great who was a joy to watch at his peak.

We’ve been spoilt by so many incredible players, and Aguero has done his bit to create this special piece of history.

Moment repeats itself!!!

Lai or Lie?

The importance of using the right word when making sale can not overstated.


Just as saying the right thing can result in more sale, using the word can lead to no sale.



Here are 9 short-but-powerful-words that will help you make more sale.

1. Free
Naturally, people like even things (even when we have the money). Putting out an offer that include people getting things for free from you will help you drive more sale.



Be careful so that they won't get used to free things and abandon your business when you have no free things to offer.

2. You


Again, we love things to be about us. Imagine using the word "I" when you're making sale. How do you think your customer will feel? Disgusted, right?

But on the other hand, if you direct the conversation's focus on them, they won't feel they're been selfish.

In fact, they will feel honoured and special. Customers are more likely to come your way next time due to you using the word 'You' instead of 'I'

3. Avoid
No one like to fall victim, especially after they have been warned.



When you say the word, 'Avoid' we having a dialogue with a customer, they take it as red flag and want to do as you say, knowing fully well you have more knowledge about the thing more than they do.

To smoothen the conversation, complete the sentence with an alternative to the things they should avoid.

4. Advantage


While making sale, always remember it's BENEFIT over FEATURES.

When you state the advantages customer will get from buying your goods or products in a clear term, they are likely to buy from you, and also come your way next time.

5. Save
No matter the amount a customer have at hand, he will always want to save cost



Proffering a way of helping them achieve that aim using the word 'save' will increase the probability of them buying from you, over and over again.

6. Welcome


We all want to be treated with respect and admiration. Sincere greetings and hospitality goes a long way in driving more sale and increasing your customer base.

Whenever you notice reduction in sale, take not of the way you treat your customs.

7. Best
We all want nothing but simply the best, in fact, we want the best of the bests.

Including the word 'best' in your sentence when talking to customers will help you drive more sale - no matter how bad some sellers fake claims have abuse that word, customers still like to hear that word.

8. Thank You


One of the worst thing you can do as a seller is to not thank your customers after buying from you(I have seen a lot of seller make this mistake - It's bad)

Never act like your customers are doing your a favour by buying from you (no they're not).

There are other sellers just like you, there is a reason for them coming your way - don't abuse that reason. Don't abuse that reason.

Let me practice what I preach by ending this writeup by saying, THANK YOU �

Thanks for reading.

Recently, a friend told me about an embarrassing situation he experienced. He attended a small party and out of all the attendees, he was the only one that was not served food. Sincerely, I couldn't control my laughter when he was recounting his story because it sounded funny. With a frown on his face, he said "I wasn't invited to the party anyway". At that point, I knew he was at fault.


A wise man once told me that respect can only be earned, not forced. It implies that before people can respect you, there is a price to pay; you need to be worthy of it.

When people respect you, they place you in high regard and value your opinion. They don't belittle you or make you feel worthless. Also, they treat you specially.

For instance, my friend was not respected at the party he attended. He even said the host didn't even acknowledge his presence. That's disappointing!


Whether you're rich or poor, educated or illiterate, good-looking or not, you deserve to be respected. Respect feeds the ego and makes us feel good.

So, if you don't want people to disrespect you, stop doing these 10 things;

1. Stop going to places you are not invited to

2. Stop calling and chatting up people who don't call you

3. Stop laughing uncontrollably when people insult you; caution them immediately

4. Stop begging people for money; double your hustle

5. Stop visiting people who don't visit you

6. Stop contributing to discussions that don't concern you


7. Stop chasing after people who don't know you exist

8. Stop mingling with people who have no plans for the future

9. Stop sleeping and relaxing when you're supposed to be working

10. Stop fighting and insulting people, especially in public




Try your best to avoid the 10 things listed above, you'll be surprised at how people will see you differently and start respecting you.

Have you ever been disrespected by someone close to you? Kindly share your story.

Thanks for reading.

For you to be successful in life, there are some certain things you should never disclose to anyone. A lot of people have been unsuccessful in life because of what they disclosed to their best friends. You should try to keep some certain things to yourself.



There are some people that experience success and progress in life than others. You don't have to tell anyone everything that concerns you or disclosing your secret because he or she is close to you.

Here are the 2 things you should never disclose to anyone about yourself, if you want to be successful in life.

1. Don't tell anyone the amount you earn:



Maybe, if you really want to be successful in life, you should learn to shut your mouth about your income. It will earn you respect despite earning a little amount because you are living fine, but if you don't know how to keep secrets and tell people how much you earn.

One day they will use the information you gave them to insult you and if you are earning big keep it to yourself because if you disclose it to people, it will make them to be lazy, and they will depend on you because you earn big. This will make you to be frustrated, and it will make you not to be able to save money.

2. Never disclose your ideas to anyone:



Don't make this mistake by disclosing your ideas to someone because he or she claims to be your friend. That idea makes you unique, useful and new. A lot of big people in the world today succeeded in life because of their ideas. Your idea might be the key to your greatness. Work on your idea yourself.

Don't tell anyone about your idea, it is very dangerous the person might discourage you or even execute it before you start thinking of executing the idea.



A lot of people are the cause of their downfall. You should stop blaming God or people because of your failure in life. Keep your secret to yourself if you want to be successful in life. People will honor and value you when they don't know some certain things about you.

Kindly share this article with your family and friends, like, drop your comment below.

Everybody wants to be successful financially but most people are ignorant of the secrets of financial success Many are dreaming of a day when they will stumble at huge amount of money that will turn their fortune around. Others are not dreaming yet rather they are busy blaming their parents, siblings and the government for their failures.



The truth is that financial success comes with good planning, you don't need to stumble at success, you may not have it even if you stumble at it if you are not prepared for it. To succeed therefore you must be prepared to make it.

In this article, I want to tell you the things you must avoid as you prepare for financial success.

1 Avoid careless expenditure

Many people think that they need bulk money to be rich. That is why you can see many young men in pool offices, casinos and bet Naija centers as they are looking for bulk money that will turn their fortune around.let me tell you from experience, what you need to be great financially is to carefully handle the money you earn everyday. Everybody that have made it financially will tell you the importance of savings to. financial greatness.

Spend carefully so that you will save money for investment and greater tommorow. Without savings no investment and no future for you.

2 Avoid call girls

Many young men take delight in patronizing call girls. An average call girl cost between #5000 to #10,000 per night. This is quite an awesome amount of money to spend for a night if you are a beginner. You may think that it will not make you poor, after all it comes up once in a while. When it becomes a habit you may not know why you desire to have them everyday and why all your income is wasted on them.

3 Avoid heavy investment in projects that do not generate money

In Nigeria, it is our culture to think of building a house in the village immediately we become successful. But do you know that such investment hardly generates any income for most people.? Some people destroy their business capital in this process and end up not being able to raise the capital again.

2 Avoid buying luxurious cars

It is good to enjoy your life but mind you early luxury when your

income cannot take care of it will lead you to failure. The problem with luxurious cars is not the money to buy it but maintenance. You must consider the cost of maintenance before you buy. Also think of the economic benefits before you buy it. Will it help you to generate money or is it just for luxury?

5 Be careful with alcoholic drinks

Alcoholic beverages do not only affect your body but your mind when you consume them in excess. You must exercise restraint if you like to consume them. Be very careful to ensure that you take them in moderation. You need a healthy body and a sound mind in order to achieve financial success.

6 Don't hurry into early marriage

Early marriage can be a serious problem if you are not careful in your selection. Of a truth some wives can promote your financial fortune but this stock are few in the market. If you can carefully select and find this kind of wife good. This merger will lift you up, otherwise don't rush into early marriage until you have built your capital.

These days, the goal is not just to make enough to eat but to create lasting and sustainable wealth.


Former aide of ex-president Goodluck Jonathan and author, Reno Omokri wrote in one of his recent tweets about the most important skill to create even more wealth.

Can you guess it?

Selling.

That's right. Selling is the singular most important skill because it is applicable to everyone. No matter the business you own or company you run or even that job you want to apply for, you need to learn how to sell.



You need to be able to sell your products, your time and even yourself. And being able to market yourself properly is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your business.

If you need to learn about this, there are lots of books online about selling, marketing and personal branding to help with your wealth creation strategies.

Are you applying this tactic already or would you like to learn how to? Let me know in the comments!

10 Great wisdom of Ants that will change your life forever.







Although Ants appear to be the minutest creature, yet the wisest man on earth -King Solomon submitted himself to their tutelage.

King Solomon enrolled in the School of Ants and learnt great wisdom about life through the wisdom he observed in the way Ants live.

According to his record in

Proverbs 6:6-8

"Go to the ant, thou sluggard; consider her ways, and be wise:

Which having no guide, overseer, or ruler, Provides her meat in the summer, and gathers her food in the harvest."

Having understood that, I have compiled this 10 Great wisdom of Ants that will change your life forever.



1. Ants are good time managers



The Ants are very wise and understand timing perfectly well. They know when they should be doing a particular activity and they stick to their schedule.

They know when it is summer or winter. They are not distracted by anything outside their daily schedule. They are good planners of time.

They know when to work and when to rest.



2. Ants dream big



Imagine that ants can build an ant hill as big as or even bigger than a human house. They are great architects. They know what they want. They dream big and are ready to give it all it takes to achieve it.



3. Hardwork



In the ant kingdom, laziness is forbidden. Every ant is busy working extremely hard to handle it's own responsibility. There is no room for laziness.

That's why King Solomon said, " Go to the ant, you lazy man and learn..."



4. Ants are self motivated



Ants don't need your encouragement to know what is good for them. They don't need any leader, Preacher or motivational speaker to ginger them or boost their morale.

They are purpose driven, vision oriented, have a sense of defined responsibility and direction. They are totally self motivated!



5. Ants are selfless



Ants are not selfish in their motives. If one ant finds food somewhere, it goes to tell others. If one ant finds another dead, it goes to tell others and together they carry the corpse.



6. Ants greet each other



Ants love, respect and greet each other. Even in their busyness, you will observe them from time to time k*ss one another as they pass.

In other words, they show care for one another.



7. Ants are excellent managers



Ants understand the need to save what they get in the summer, store it up and use it in the winter when they are hibernating, need to conserve energy and cannot go out to get food.

They don't consume all they get at once. Savings is their culture. They are good financial managers.



8. Ants Build their own home



It is hard to find ants who don't have a place to stay. No matter how little, ants plan for their own home and together they build their own shelter.



9. Ants maximize their potential



Did you know that an ant can carry a weight 10 to 50 times his own body weight? That is superhuman strength.

Ants may look feeble but they are great weightlifters. They employ great strength and endurance to enable them accomplish their goals.



10. They have unity and cooperation.



This is one highly admirable quality of ants. It is not rare to see them working together with one mind and purpose.

Sometimes you wonder how they communicate their intention or share their vision.

Talk about team work? The ants deserve a huge thumbs up for that!





What are other interesting things you have observed about ants? Do you think ants are wiser than human beings? Share your thoughts and let us know.

We are all aware of the nuts and bolts of marketing; we have to be if we want to promote our services effectively, acquire new clients and grow our businesses. In it’s most basic form, there’s not a lot to it — marketing is simply getting the word out to increase awareness of your brand. As business owners, we hope that this awareness will translate into new clients and increased income.

Most of us have developed our own set of marketing activities that we tend to return to over time, activities that may or may not be as successful as we’d like, but activities we are likely very comfortable doing. If you spend most of your marketing focus doing the same old thing, though, you may not only be boring your audience, but you could be wasting serious time and money.

When it comes down to it, marketing is like every other activity you focus on in your business. While you want to have systems and processes in place to make it cost-effective and time-efficient, you need to analyze your actions from time to time to make sure you’re hitting the mark. And it’s easy to get stuck in a marketing rut.

So this week, I’m focusing on four types of marketing strategies that you can use to kick-start your 2021 marketing plans, target your audience in a new way and add some spice to otherwise stagnant campaigns. Each of my next four posts will focus on a different type of marketing strategy, covering the background of the technique, providing an overview of how it’s used and giving you some ideas on how you can use it to market your business.

Here is a quick rundown of the four types of marketing strategies I plan to cover to give you a look at what’s to come.

Cause Marketing

Cause marketing, also known as cause-related marketing, links a company and its products and services to a social cause or issue.

Relationship Marketing

Relationship marketing focuses on customer retention and satisfaction in order to enhance your relationships with existing customers to increase loyalty.

Scarcity Marketing

Scarcity marketing creates a perception of a shortage which aims to entice customers to purchase out of fear that they may not be able to get it in the future.

Undercover Marketing

Undercover marketing, also known as stealth marketing, involves marketing to consumers in a way that they do not realize they are being marketed to.

The first two – cause and relationship marketing — are what I consider “positive” marketing techniques that focus on the benefits to others. The second two – scarcity and undercover marketing – are more unconventional and potentially controversial techniques.
