Marketing Tips from Charles Manson

This is the second post in a series of unlikely sources for marketing and business tips. You can read the first one – Marketing Tips from Adolf Hitler – by clicking here.

I hope you enjoy the article, and please, feel free to leave comments at the end of the article to let me know your thoughts. read more
