New Marketing Tactic?
I feel like I was hit upside the head with a moldy sack of potatoes after this one...
SHADIQ107 (3:31:42 PM): Have you read the street book NO EXIT?
Shad (3:31:58 PM): No. Who are you?
SHADIQ107 (3:32:53 PM): shadiq I'am promoting the book NO EXIT. It's about NEWARK
Shad (3:33:10 PM): And why are you IM'ing me about it?
SHADIQ107 (3:33:42 PM): So you can get it.
Shad (3:33:56 PM): What makes you think I'd want to read about Newark of all things?
SHADIQ107 (3:34:54 PM): It's a real good book and it's informative information.
Shad (3:35:29 PM): Everything I've wanted to know about Newark, eh?
Shad (3:36:00 PM): About the only thing I'm interested in Newark would be where the bypasses are, so I don't have to go to Newark
SHADIQ107 (3:36:45 PM): Not like that but it puts you right there in the story.
SHADIQ107 (3:37:13 PM): And Newark isn't that bad!
Shad (3:37:17 PM): And what story would that be?
SHADIQ107 (3:37:36 PM): Get the book
SHADIQ107 (3:38:18 PM): Amazon.com. Look at the cover.
SHADIQ107 (3:39:05 PM): NO EXIT Alsaadiq Banks
Shad (3:41:30 PM): Is this some new sort of Marketing technique? Pick some random screen name, IM them and try to sell a book?
Shad (3:41:44 PM): Could've at least made it interesting or something...
Shad (3:41:51 PM): But a book about Newark?
SHADIQ107 (3:43:42 PM): No. Your name popped on my buddy list, and Newark is interesting.
Shad (3:44:16 PM): So, why'd you put me on your buddy list then, just to talk about this book about Newark?
Shad (3:44:42 PM): Coulda picked a better city, like New York or something...that might have been more interesting to talk about.
SHADIQ107 (3:44:56 PM): Newark is the largest city in N.J
Shad (3:45:41 PM): Well, I'm happy for it then
SHADIQ107 (3:46:34 PM): Well I live in Newark and as I said I'am promoting the book about Newark the story was interesting.
Shad (3:47:07 PM): Isn't this where we started?
SHADIQ107 (3:48:11 PM): I thought others would like to read a book that was real and not fake as other books that are out there right know.
Shad (3:48:46 PM): There's other books that are fake??
Shad (3:48:52 PM): What's a fake book look like?
Shad (3:49:23 PM): Does it dress like a book, but it's really a TV Dinner?
SHADIQ107 (3:51:13 PM): A fake book is a book that its contents are fiction. Someone just sat there and made it up. But this book where real experiences that people in newark experience everyday. That's what makes it a real book.
Shad (3:53:33 PM): So, something like Harry Potter isn't a real book....
Shad (3:53:41 PM): is that what you're saying?
SHADIQ107 (3:54:11 PM): Harry Potter is real if you beleive in magic. But most people do not beleive in magic.
Shad (3:54:52 PM): So, if one doesn't believe in magic, then Harry Potter is not a real book, is what you're saying...
Shad (3:55:15 PM): So while I don't believe in magic, this big ass, 700lbs book sitting on the table here isn't real?
Shad (3:55:23 PM): It's just a figment of my imagination?
Shad (3:55:29 PM): Am I hallucinating?
Shad (3:55:33 PM): Whoa...
Shad (3:55:41 PM): wonder what else isn't real around here...
SHADIQ107 (3:56:49 PM): Reality is what is real to you. No the book in a phgysical from makes it real because you can see it or touch it. But its contents, meaning whatthe author worte does not have to be real experiences. The book No Exit is real experiences and real in form.
Shad (3:58:17 PM): So, then back to the real question, WHY did you IM ME about this book, that I have absolutly NO interest in?
SHADIQ107 (3:59:33 PM): Well how do you know you don't have interest in it if you have not read it. It might be interesting. Don't judge a book by its cover or title.
Shad (4:04:31 PM): How about by it's marketing promotion?
SHADIQ107 (4:06:04 PM): You where not marketed through a mailing list. When you signed on your name came on my computer. I wanted to know who you were and see if you would be interested in a book.
Shad (4:07:34 PM): Seems to me if you wanted to know who I was, you might have said something like, oh say "Who's this?" Or "Hi, your name appeared on my buddy list, do I know you?" instead of "Have you read the street book NO EXIT?"
SHADIQ107 (4:08:45 PM): O.K. you have a valid point. but stop beating a dead horse. Dis you read the book? HA!
SHADIQ107 (4:09:27 PM): did you read the book.
Shad (4:10:08 PM): You think after all that, I've actually read the book?
Shad (4:10:11 PM): That's funny...
Shad (4:10:25 PM): But in case all the sarcasm went by you earlier, No, I have not read the book
Shad (4:10:32 PM): Nor do I plan on reading the book
Shad (4:10:36 PM): There, does that help?
SHADIQ107 (4:11:00 PM): Yes, it does Help? You have a nice life.
Shad (4:11:20 PM): I imagine I will, thank you very much....
SHADIQ107 (4:11:39 PM): LOL
