boone 295 for titanium, more selection of woods, top of google, pics not real good, no description of wood type...prices go up to 490 for non wood but tungsten ring

zales stainless steel ring for 30 with wood inlay...no type of wood given

metiorite ring 185-250, titanium normal...do have innovation with interchangeable inlay, on etsy so handmade by him

titanium ring store, polished website, 287 for titanium inlay, free shipping, free engraving, high end line for 400 to 1200w/ diamond

na hoku....local, has ss and koa only, no desc. or very lttle 164

these are all under wood inlay ring search on google so they are in the same niche

since the prices are all over the place w/ the average for a similar product being around the 250 mark...the question is do you offer a superior product for less money and really try to get volume, or do you price at the high end...say 285.

8 er 9word: highest
quality symbolically meaningful exotic wood and tungsten ring

2 sentence: Pono-Woodwork's
exotic wood rings are designed
to be more symbolically meaningful with a unique combination of natural
beauty and refined polish. Our
"evershine" rings resist scratching better than any material on the
market, our exotic woods are the most beautiful in the world, and our resin encapsulation
of the wood ensures the most beautiful, longest lasting, wooden inlay ring on
the market.

1 paragraph: Pono-Woodwork's
exotic wood inlayed rings are intended for those seeking a ring that contains a
more personalized symbolic meaning as well as a unique and elegant look. Our exotic woods are hand chosen for the
unique grain patterns and then sanded and polished to a brilliant shine. The variation of natural colors and grains in
the wood creates a depth and shine that dances when light catches it from different angles. Our tungsten
"evershine" rings are the hardest metal element; 4 times harder
than titanium and 10 times harder than gold.
Tungsten's hardness ensures that
the only thing that will scratch your ring and ruin it's shine is something as
hard as a diamond. To protect the
delicate wood, a thin clear protective layer covers the wood and is polished flush
to the ring to ensure the highest shine and durability of the wood.

All I get from Godaddy is tons of spam emails and shitty customer service too. They need to seriously reevaluate their business model. There are plenty business' out there who want our business, and will do it better.

14. Build your Brand! Create an atmosphere, or an understanding that what you have is exclusive, or better than what other can offer

15. Find partners, i.e. find those out there who compliment what you do, by doing what they do, synergy, in networking is often over looked, and extremely powerful, just ask Google.

16. Create a face, create a strong visual image, that when they hear your brand's name, they have an auto visual response, ie, coca cola or fender.

Re: TFLN Marketing Fail

Thanks for the post!

Our facebook page is for people who "Like" TFLN, so we sometimes use it as a channel to post news about the site, like our nomination for a Webby. We know that not everyone cares, but things like this are what keeps TFLN growing and relevant. Also, those that supported TFLN's Webby post may not have commented, but we'll see if they voted at midnight. While not all feedback is positive, we take all of it into account.

Keep texting,

PS the texts are real. As you can see above, we're not funny enough to make this up haha

Re: Licensing Music with SoundExchange: Wow you Suck.

Travis Ploeger — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 00:23:44 -0000

I'm sorry that you were frustrated with my response. SoundExchange doesn't give out licenses to services; we administer statutory licensing that the Copyright Act allows services to operate within, provided that they meet the eligibility requirements. Those federal requirements are very specific, and one of the main ones is that a service needs to not only be "noninteractive," but it needs to limit the amount of times that songs by the same featured artist, or songs from the same album, are transmitted within a short time period. The vast majority of statutory licensees are AM/FM radio stations that are simulcasting their signals over the internet, as well as "internet-only" radio stations.

If a service isn't able to (or, doesn't wish to) operate within the parameters of statutory licensing, then that service usually has to get direct licensing with the sound recording copyright owner of the recording they wish to use (and that owner is usually a record label.) We have nothing to do with direct licensing, as we are the Designated Agency (by Congress) to administer the statutory licenses that I referenced above.

Again, I'm sorry that you were taken aback by the e-mail. We try our best to be as responsive as we can be to prospective services, and I encourage you to contact me directly if I can be of further assistance, in either explaining rates and terms, or SoundExchange in general.

Good luck to you in your endeavors.
