Advertisement Ideas: Stop Being Foolish!!!

When was the last time you turned down an opportunity and instructed your customer service person or secretary to use the programmed response of we are not interested? How many opportunities have you let slip away because of a foolish mindset and a preconceived notion of that won’t work for me? How many times have you said I am not interested and then realized maybe I should have listened to the options or at least gotten to know who I was dealing with? How many times have you been presented an advertising idea only to make excuses and not strengthen your brand or increase your revenue? How many times have you decided to pass up advertising opportunities? How many times have you chosen to advertise only to realize that your choice was not the most effective choice? Sometimes it simply comes down to making a decision to stop being foolish.

Sometimes in business we play the part of a fool because we turn down opportunities that could help us to build a stronger brand or that could actually increase our revenue because we do not see the value of what someone is offering. How many times have you let someone leave your business that could of been of service and value to you? How many times have you stayed in your office or in you brick and mortar building wondering why your business is slow? Instead of being foolish and wondering why things are slow it is time to be proactive and speed things up. I like using the example of the pizza place that I spoke with about going out and getting to know his neighbors who said oh I don’t have time for that. This pizza place was in a very heavily trafficked plaza with many store that had many employees so I asked have you gone to the bigger stores and offered them a lunch or dinner special. The answer was no. I suggested he do this and he got very upset and said now you are telling me how to run my business I said no I am suggesting a way for you to increase traffic and build revenue. He wasn’t to receptive so I left. Six months later his pizza place was closed. I thought what would have happened if he stopped being foolish?  My advice to all business owners, marketing executives, and non-profit leaders is to get out there and start meeting people and stop being foolish with your decisions.

Advertisement Ideas: The Power Of Networking!!!

Advertisement Ideas: The Power Of Networking!!!

I have always taught my clients that it is important to get out in the community and network. I stress to them that they must find the networking groups that are most effective and that are creating revenue for their business. I also stress that it is not about selling it is about relationship building because people do business with people they know, like, and trust. I often recommend that my clients seek speaking opportunities at these networking events and a table to promote their business so as to engage the attendees. On June 8, 2015 I had the opportunity to attend and present at The Florida Women’s Business Center Small Business Conference about the importance of leaving a digital footprint. It was great event and during my presentation I was able to have the audience make a video of me as I was showing them how easy it is to make a digital footprint.I also made it a point to mention www.flwbc.com in the video so as to give them something viable to use across their social media and marketing platforms. I was able to engage the audience and as a result I set up 4 appointments for interviews that will be taped and then aired as part of my TV Show, The Anything Bucket, which airs on www.wrpbitv.com at 6:30 PM EDT on Tuesday. When I arrived at The WRPBiTV Studios on June 9, 2015 I had a plan to follow-up with those that I met at The FLWBC Networking Event and I sent out an email. As a result I booked 2 more appointments for interviews.

The key to making your networking activities is to have a plan and to follow your plan. It is also important to pick a lane and decide what you are their to promote as you may have many services that you offer but trying to speak about each one is difficult so choose what you want to accomplish and plan accordingly. On Monday June 8, 2015 my objective was to get people to know about WRPBiTV and how I create a digital footprint for them helping them to maximize their message. When you are focused on one aspect of what you do it leads to stronger brand awareness and creates a buzz for potential clients to ask more questions. As I booked the appointments I began to ask about the people’s business so that I could formulate an effective interview that would be beneficial to them in their quest to share their business and increase their awareness while generating more income. In networking properly you will find yourself  making solid connections and building relationships that will enhance your business. Remember it is not about knowing just the person you meet it is about knowing who the person you are meeting knows. In many cases the best thing you can do to use the power of networking is to have a 30 second intro that explains how you are of value and service to others. For example I am Jonathan JDOGG Lederman, The Positive Broadcaster. I help businesses to maximize their message through a TV Program and other platforms.  In keeping things short and to the point you will find yourself cultivating more business and closing more deals.

Many times you do not need a formal setting to network many times simply by having your business cards, a copy of your book, your mix tape, or a brochure with you when you are out and about you can be prepared to network. I have  often sat at my local Starbucks and simply listened to those around me and when I heard something that related to what I do I would go over and introduce myself, now I have an advantage because I host a TV Show and most business people want to be on TV, so my intro peaks their interest.  I also am not afraid to speak to the people in line with me at the bank, the grocery store, or anywhere else. The key is to make it a point to get out in the community and meet people and as a result you cultivate business. It also helps that I am a wealth of knowledge when it comes to business and can come up with ideas that many have not thought of yet.  The idea is to simply share as you never know who might become your client or recommend someone for you. I recommend that you do your best to meet 3 -5 new people daily and then find a way to be of service and value. After you meet the people make it a point to follow-up. Namaste!!!

Advertisement Ideas: A Cure For The Summer Time Blues!!!

 

 Living in South Florida for over 40 years I have heard the excuse from many business owners oh it is the summer and things slow down so I don’t advertise or sponsor things in the summer. I even heard this excuse when I worked at Forum Publishing Group as the culture was oh the summer is our slow season. I have been and still am perplexed by this attitude as the summer can be a time to capitalize on many opportunities and every business whether a brick and mortar business or home based business can thrive over the summer if they plan their work and work their plan by being proactive in the marketplace.
School is out and that means parents looking for things to do with their kids so if you have a business like a bowling center, a Gymboree, or other activities oriented programs this is when you should be advertising your mommy and me programs, daddy and me programs, Grandma and Grandpa and me programs. Think of ways you can create an experience for your clients/customers. If you are a life coach perhaps meet your client at their house so they don’t have to worry about  finding someone to watch their kids of maybe you partner with someone you trust and offer a supervised activity for the kids at your office or close to the office. In being proactive you can increase your cash flow by simply doing things that your competition is not doing. If you are holding workshops include a kids component and bring in facilitators to work with the kids and you can make a family plan program.

Advertisement Ideas: How To Choose The Proper Platform?

Jonathan JDOGG Lederman prepares to present his Maxizing Your Mesage ... Pin it 1 Like Image   As a marketing consultant with many years of media relations and public relations experience I am asked by clients on many occasions JDOGG what platform is right for me to use to maximize my message?  In today’s advertising landscape there are many choices to make and it can be quite overwhelming to business people when seeking ways to maximize their message. Navigating this landscape can be difficult especially if  you do not have a marketing, media relations, or public relations strategy. As the host of  The TV Show, The Anything Bucket, which airs on www.wrpbitv.com on Tuesday at 6:30 PM EDT I have interviewed many business people and have found that many of them need assistance in utilizing proper platforms to maximize their message so as to create brand awareness and cultivate new clients/customers while also retaining existing clients/customers.  I give all of my guests an opportunity to purchase the clip of their appearance on my show to use as a marketing tool to build credibility and edification in the market place and many turn this opportunity down. I often ask them what platforms they are using to promote their business. I get the reply I use social media. I ask them what other platforms and they look at me with a blank stare and then say I only use social media. Social Media like Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram are good however including other platforms like YouTube, networking events, print media, special events,  and electronic media will aid in your quest to maximize your message.

I had an opportunity to interview Jaynie Smith about success in business and she purchased her clip and she put it on YouTube and it has 87 views this is in addition to the initial 50,000 viewers who saw her interview on www.wrpbitv.com. She has also used this on her website. The key is to find platforms that work for you and to ask questions as to where your clients and potential clients are and what they are seeking.

Ask questions as to who the platform reaches then see if they are in your target audience, how many times your company will be seen, how large the reach is, how frequent  does your message appear. The key is to peel back the onion and see what platform works for you. Continue reading Advertisement Ideas: How To Choose The Proper Platform?

Stake Casino Guide: Registration, Bonuses, and Wagering Explained

This is a practical, step-by-step walkthrough: registration, verification, bonuses, and payments — no fluff.

Getting Ready

  • Ensure you are at least 18 years old (or the legal gambling age in your jurisdiction).
  • Have a valid email address and a unique password ready.
  • Prepare a government-issued ID (passport, driver’s license) for identity verification later.
  • Choose a payment method you intend to use: credit/debit card, cryptocurrency, or e-wallet.
  • Check your internet connection stability, especially if you plan to use the mobile-optimized website or progressive web app (PWA). Note: Stake casino does not offer a native app in official stores; you can launch the PWA directly from your browser.
  • Familiarize yourself with local laws — winnings from offshore casinos (such as those licensed under Curacao) may be subject to income tax in your country; consult a tax advisor.

Registration

  1. Visit https://au-stake.org/ using a modern browser.
  2. Click the “Sign Up” button, usually located in the top-right corner.
  3. Enter your email address, create a strong password, and select your preferred currency.
  4. Read and accept the Terms & Conditions and Privacy Policy.
  5. Submit the form. You will receive a confirmation email; click the link inside to verify your account.
  6. Log in and proceed to the verification section to upload your ID documents. Completion is typically required before making your first withdrawal.

How Wagering Works

Most bonuses at Stake casino require you to wager the bonus amount a certain number of times before you can withdraw any winnings. Let’s break down a real example with numbers.

Example: You claim a 100% deposit bonus up to $500. You deposit $200, so you receive a $200 bonus. The wagering requirement is 40x the bonus.

  • Total bonus amount: $200
  • Wagering requirement: 40 × $200 = $8,000
  • You must place bets totaling at least $8,000 before any winnings from the bonus become withdrawable.

Each game contributes differently to the wagering requirement. For instance, slots often count 100%, whereas table games like blackjack might only count 10% or even 0%. If you play blackjack with a 10% contribution, each $10 bet only adds $1 toward the $8,000 target. That means you would need to bet $80,000 in blackjack to fulfill the requirement. Always check the game contribution percentages in the bonus terms.

Mathematically, the expected loss during wagering can be estimated. Assume you play a slot with an RTP of 96% (house edge 4%). Over $8,000 in bets, your expected loss is $8,000 × 0.04 = $320. Since your bonus value is $200, the expected net outcome after wagering is $200 – $320 = –$120, meaning you are likely to lose the entire bonus and part of your deposit. This highlights why you should choose games with low house edge or use the bonus on high-RTP slots.

Money In, Money Out

Payment Method Deposit Time Withdrawal Time Typical Limits
Visa/Mastercard Instant 1–3 business days $10 – $5,000 per transaction
Bitcoin (BTC) 10–30 minutes 1–2 hours (once processed) $20 – $10,000 equivalent
Ethereum (ETH) 5–15 minutes 30–60 minutes $20 – $10,000 equivalent
Litecoin (LTC) 5–10 minutes 20–40 minutes $20 – $10,000 equivalent
Skrill / Neteller Instant Up to 24 hours $10 – $2,500 per transaction

All withdrawals require prior verification of your account. Stake casino generally processes withdrawals within 24 hours for most methods, though bank transfers and card withdrawals may take longer. Deposits are usually fee-free, but note that your bank or payment provider might charge its own fees.

Is It Safe?

Stake casino operates under a Curacao eGaming license. While this provides a basic level of regulatory oversight, it is less stringent than licenses from Malta (MGA) or the UK Gambling Commission. The platform uses SSL encryption to protect data and employs a provably fair system for its original games, allowing you to verify each bet outcome independently. For players outside jurisdictions with local licensing, it is essential to check if your country allows offshore gambling. As a user tip: remember that winnings from Curacao-licensed casinos may be subject to local income tax — always keep records and consult a tax professional.

When Things Go Wrong

  1. Forgot your password? Click “Forgot Password” on the login page, enter your email, and follow the reset link. If you do not receive the email, check your spam folder or contact support to confirm your registered email.
  2. Withdrawal stuck as “Pending”? This is common during initial manual checks. Ensure all documents are uploaded and verified. If it exceeds 48 hours, contact live chat with your transaction ID.
  3. Bonus not applied after deposit? Some bonuses require an opt-in code. Check the promotions page for a bonus code field. If you deposited without entering the code, contact support — they may credit it manually after wagering conditions are reviewed.
  4. Game not loading? Clear your browser cache and cookies, disable VPN or ad blockers, and try a different browser. For mobile, use the PWA from the home screen. If the issue persists, check your internet connection or DNS settings.
  5. Account locked after multiple login attempts? Wait 30 minutes before trying again, or use the “Forgot Password” option. If still locked, contact support with identity verification documents to unlock.
  6. Self-exclusion or account closure? Stake casino offers self-exclusion tools via support. If you need to close your account permanently, email them with a clear request. They will process within 24–72 hours.

Pro Tips

To maximize your chances when using bonuses, focus on games with the highest theoretical RTP. Among slots, titles like “Blood Suckers” (RTP ~98%), “Starburst” (96.1%), and “Book of Dead” (96.21%) are decent choices. For table games, blackjack with a single deck and favorable rules can have RTP over 99% when played with basic strategy. Avoid games with high house edge, such as keno (RTP often below 95%) or scratch cards. Additionally, always read the bonus terms to see which games are excluded or contribute less. For a visual breakdown of these strategies, watch this:

Advertisement Ideas: Be Aware And Take Action!!!

Tomorrow, 5/21/2015, is Red Nose Day? You may be asking what this have to do with being aware and taking action? The answer is that it is one of the many days on a calendar that will go unnoticed by the majority of people however those that are familiar with it will capitalize by going to Walgreens and getting a red nose and wearing it out in public to draw attention to themselves and thus engage people. M&M’s is a sponsor as well and will be donation $1 every time #MAKEMLAUGH is used in social media. As someone who is always marketing myself and my services I am using Red Nose Day to further my purpose to help other people excel as I have made a video which is on YouTube that I am sharing across social media platforms. I have taken a selfie of me wearing the red nose and put it upon my Twitter and Facebook Pages. Some have said people may not take you serious because of that picture. My reply is that may be true but those meant to do business with me will see that I am real and authentic and thus want to do business with me.  The idea is to be aware of opportunities that are available to you promote your business and build awareness while also driving traffic and increasing revenue.

Imagine you purchase bags of m&m’s and then sell them in your office and donate the money to RED NOSE DAY and publicize this through videos, social media, and press releases showing that you are an entrepreneur with heart who serves the community. Maybe you are a life coach and you choose to donate a portion of every session booked in May to RED NOSE DAY and you promote this across all your marketing platforms.  The idea is to leverage RED NOSE DAY so that it helps you strengthen your customer base while increasing your revenue. People like to do business with those they perceive as being charitable and heart centered.

You can do what a local realtor, Ron Contronio, did and buy a couple of cases and organize a watch party to watch The RED NOSE DAY Special on NBC  thus creating a fun way to network and help worthwhile causes. When visiting www.rednoseday.org one will see the various charities that are being supported. You could take these logos and make fliers to give out to your customers/clients to support RED NOSE DAY. You could make posters that say We Support RED NOSE DAY. Then in all your marketing material show that you support RED NOSE DAY. Leveraging support for RED NOSE DAY can increase traffic to your business and thus increase revenue.

NBC has incorporated RED NOSE DAY into several of their most popular shows like The Voice showing how important integration marketing is to the success of a business.

RED NOSE DAY is just one of several activities that you can be involved with to bring awareness to your business and thus increase your revenue. Every community now a days has a website where events are listed. Look for the events that resonate with you and fit into your marketing plan. The key is to be aware and to take action so that you are always on the top of the mind of your target audience so that when it comes time to utilize your products and services they think of you first.

 Regular visitors to this blog know my passion for helping those touched by Cancer. I recently was made aware of several food truck round ups in my area and I went to a couple to solicit donations for Relay For Life. I did very well and was able to use my service with Relay For Life as a lead into to book guest for my TV Show, The Anything Bucket, which airs on www.wrpbitv.com on Tuesday at 6:30 PM EDT. By taking action and capitalizing on events like these I have been able to help a worthy cause and promote myself.  As a result more and more people know who I am and are more apt to do business with me. Remember people will do business with those they know, like, and trust. When someone feels good about you they will be comfortable in giving you business or recommending you to others for business.

By getting involved in the community and being aware and taking action you may be recognized with a community service award like I was and given a great platform to promote yourself. Stay Positive!!!

 

Advertisement Ideas: No One Is To Blame!!!

Advertisement Ideas: No One Is To Blame!!!

 As I was discussing some issues of the day I realized just how quick people are to blame others for their problems instead of taking responsibility and being accountable for their actions.  How many times have we heard oh it is Bush’s Fault  from Obama and his supporters or oh outsourcing is hurting our country or it is the economy? How many excuses will people make and how many others will they blame until they realize it is them and their actions that determine whether they will thrive or will they struggle. I wrote a piece a while back titled it is not the economy it is you to show that those who  were willing to adapt and overcome were continuing to have  success while those making excuses and pointing blame were struggling. I have  seen people play the blame game instead of taking responsibility only to see it led to their demise.  It is not the competition, it is not the government, it is not the community, it is you. Maybe you wanted to advertise but you came from a position of lack and thought you couldn’t afford to and your competitor put out fliers and went out into the community and supported charitable causes while you found reasons not to invest in your marketing. Maybe you chose to go into a magazine or a mailer without doing your due diligence while your competitor found publications and other media sources that reach his audience. Maybe you didn’t do a video and didn’t utilize social media like Facebook and your competitor did. Maybe you judged the guy who came into your business offering assistance with marketing and public relations while your competitor spent $100 on a  session and received a ready-made press release,  a video testimonial, and shout out across his social media platforms. Perhaps you said not to being on  a TV Show and your competitor went on a TV Show. Perhaps you did the show but didn’t buy the clip for $175 but your competitor did and put it on Facebook and other social media and picked up some new clients/customers. Maybe you used someones services and tried to get out of paying and your competitor used that person’s services and paid promptly. The key is to look at how you are conducting business and stop playing the blame game.

 The key is to stop playing the blame game and to break away from the norms  by building brand awareness and recognition by creating a buzz about your products or services. Think about what pain do you take away.If you are a restaurant you take away the pain of hunger, if you are a dry cleaner you take away the pain of looking good and making a good impression, if you are a massage therapist you take away physical pain that may be stopping someone from reaching their full potential. Look at what pain you take away and then formulate a marketing campaign that will express this and cultivate clients/and customers.  Instead of blaming the competition for taking your customers look at ways you can breakaway and get them back or cultivate new ones. If it was price that drove them away then finds ways to show the value you they are getting for your price. Find out why they went elsewhere and if you can fix that reason and bring them back. The # 1 reason people do not do business with someone is a bad experience. Think of ways you can avoid bad experiences. I remember one day at Starbucks they didn’t make my drink for about 20 minutes and I went to ask about it the manager made my drink and gave me a coupon for a FREE one the next time I came in.  In acknowledging the problem and doing something about it Starbucks kept my business.

Advertisement Ideas: Compassion, Caring, And The Bottom Line!!!

As I was going through Facebook a story was posted about a customer who fell at The Boys Farmers Market and subsequently died as a result of the fall.It was sated that this person was a long time customer and when another customer asked about them sending a platter for Shiva( a Jewish ritual of gathering to honor the deceased) the answer was we don’t do that. The poster stated their friend left the groceries he was going to purchase and was no longer going to shop at The Boys and others stated the same. This got me to thinking someone falls in your parking lot due to a medical issue and you don’t go out to check on them and knowing they were a regular customer you don’t follow the case and when they pass you don’t show compassion or caring wow you take money from the community and you don’t give back to those who are supporting you. I have never shopped at The Boys and I most likely never will hearing what I heard not only from the Facebook post but from those that know the owners. One person said all they care about is the money. My thought was wow they must be making it in spite of their attitude.

I started to think about how many encounters I have had where compassion and caring were lacking and how it is affecting the bottom line of these businesses. Sometimes business owners do not understand the value of caring and compassion or getting to know their customers. It can be a challenge for large brick and mortar operations as they serve so many people daily. Though it could be challenging think how much more income and revenue you could make by getting to know who is doing business with you. Imagine knowing the majority of people walking into your business and learning about them and how thus can increase your bottom line. I remember the Publix Manager, Jim, who got to know my family and when my mom was pregnant with my brother went out of his way to help her. The funny thing is that 15 years late my brother went to work for Jim. Jim got to know his customers and as a result he increased his sales volume as people who lived closer to the other Publix in the neighborhood would got the extra few miles to see Jim and his staff. Jim would make it a point to support charities, schools, youth sports teams, and anything that would benefit the community.  As a result many of us continued to shop at his Publix. Jim is now in The Coral Springs area still working for Publix and when I am in the area I stop by to get a sandwich and drink and to say hello. In being caring and compassionate Jim created a relationship with his customers to this day which reaps many rewards. Continue reading Advertisement Ideas: Compassion, Caring, And The Bottom Line!!!

Casino Party Sign-Up & Bonus Math: Complete Guide

Bonus Mathematics

Party Casino often offers a welcome package such as a 100% match bonus up to $500 plus 50 free spins. Understanding the wagering requirements is crucial to evaluating the real value. Let’s walk through a typical example.

Important: Wagering requirements apply to the bonus amount plus the deposit, unless stated otherwise. Assume a 100% match up to $500 with a 30x wagering requirement on deposit + bonus. You deposit $100, receive $100 bonus (total $200 to play).

Wagering requirement = 30 × ($100 deposit + $100 bonus) = 30 × $200 = $6,000. You must place bets totaling $6,000 before any winnings from the bonus become withdrawable.

If you play a slot with an RTP of 96%, the expected loss after wagering $6,000 is $6,000 × (1 – 0.96) = $240. But you started with $200 in total funds. So the expected net loss is $240 – $200 = $40. That means on average you lose $40 of your own money. However, variance can produce different outcomes.

For game weightings: Slots usually count 100% toward wagering, while table games may count only 10-20%. Always check the contribution percentages. For example, if blackjack counts 10%, a $100 bet only reduces the wagering by $10, making it inefficient.

Use this formula to calculate the expected value (EV) of a bonus: EV = Bonus × (RTP / 100) – (Wagering Requirement × (1 – RTP/100)). For the $100 bonus with 96% RTP and $6,000 wagering, EV = $100 × 0.96 – $6,000 × 0.04 = $96 – $240 = -$144. Negative EV means the bonus is disadvantageous on average, but the free spins add extra value.

Always read the fine print for max bet limits (often $5 per spin) and game restrictions.

Deposits & Withdrawals

Party Casino supports a variety of payment methods: Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Skrill, Neteller, Paysafecard, and bank transfer. Minimum deposits start at $10, while withdrawals typically start at $20. Processing times: e-wallets are usually instant for deposits and 24-48 hours for withdrawals; card withdrawals take 2-5 business days; bank transfers up to 7 days. Withdrawal verification is mandatory – you must submit ID, proof of address, and sometimes proof of payment method before the first cashout.

Is It Safe?

Party Casino is licensed and regulated by the UK Gambling Commission and the Malta Gaming Authority, two of the most stringent regulators. The site uses 128-bit SSL encryption to protect your data. All games are independently tested for fairness. The casino is part of a publicly traded company, adding a layer of accountability. However, remember that no casino can guarantee winnings; the house edge is built in.

When Things Go Wrong

Even at reputable casinos, issues can arise. Here are common scenarios and solutions:

  • Verification delays: Submit clear, high-quality documents. Make sure your name matches your payment method. Contact support if it takes more than 48 hours.
  • Withdrawal pending too long: Check if you have pending wagering requirements. If not, contact live chat. Most withdrawals are processed within 72 hours.
  • Bonus not credited: Confirm you entered the correct bonus code and made the minimum deposit. Check the promo terms for eligibility.
  • Self-exclusion: If you need a break, use the responsible gambling tools: set deposit limits, time-outs, or self-exclusion.
  • Technical glitches: Clear your browser cache, try a different device, or switch to the mobile-optimized website. Report persistent errors to support.
