Jo Han Mok’s Internet Millionaire Code

My next lesson in advertising was learned at the age of twenty.

I was writing ads for numerous retail dealers. Aluminum ware was just coming into vogue. I specialized on it because I felt that every home should have it, and few homes were supplied.

I found that ads inviting women to an aluminum display brought few responses and the cost was high.

But when I offered a souvenir on a certain day I got quick action, and the saving in cost per visitor paid for the souvenir some twenty times over.

MY first lesson in advertising was learned as a boy of twelve.

Mother was left a widow so we had to join in supporting the family.

One thing we did was to make a silver polish.

We made it in cakes, wrapped it up nicely, and I went out to sell it after school.

I found that when I met the housewife at the door and talked the polish to her I sold hardly to one home in ten.

But when I got into the pantry and cleaned some of the silver I sold nine times in ten.
